Staff was very courteous. Lots of squeaking, chirpy type noises all night long but could not tell where they kept coming from. Water would not stay warm in shower, towels super rough.

We arrived earlier than the check in time but our room was ready and they checked us in for no additional fee. The room was clean and was very quiet for NYC. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. This place is on our list to return to another time.

Great location, minutes from Broadway. The staff were nice and helpful. We were able to check a little early. The elevators are really small so keep that in mind. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I loved having an espresso pod machine in the room. I would definitely stay again.
