This property has become popular and gigantically overpriced. If you are going to spend this much you might as well stay in other properties in the area that offer much larger less utilitarian rooms, better amenities and dining.

Overall a very pleasant stay. Room was clean and the bathroom was modern despite it being on the smaller side. It was also a plus that the TV had casting abilities with Apple devices. The only thing was that out shower glass door had a bit of gap so there was an issue with water leaking out of the bathroom with each shower.

Staff were very accommodating and helpful! I made a late reservation on Friday evening for Saturday and Sunday. I needed an accessible room. The did not have the same room available for both nights. The kind gentleman taking my reservations contacted the manager and they were able to move some things around. That meant I was able to stay in the same room for both nights and that was great. Ordered room service from elNico. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It’s a great place to stay where the showcase and sell original artwork created by New Yorkers with developmental disabilities. It’s a really cute place! I highly recommend!
