Lovely room and hotel. Staff were so helpful. I had forgotten a belt, and asked a gentleman at the front desk where I might buy one nearby. He thought a minute, then suggested a shoe repair shop around the corner. Belts!! Excellent kosher pizza and sandwich shop across the street. 15 min walk to Central Park. Will return. ❤️

I found my forever hotel in NYC!!

The staff was friendly and helpful every step during my stay. I felt safe in the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. The room-darkening blinds cut out so much light and traffic noise that I hardly felt I was in a city. While I never ate at the restaurant, it was clear that those who did were enjoying both the food and the ambiance. I think I found my forever hotel in NYC. I will return here again and again, and have already recommended it to others within 48 hours of returning home. Book here! You won’t regret it!!

The door staff were amazing and the only good thing about this stay. The room… dated, creaky. The front desk staff tried to gaslight me for 3 days that the full sized bed in my room was a Queen sized bed. I had no problem staying there with the smaller bed (I only had a short stay and I was traveling alone), but I shouldn’t have to pay for a Queen sized room if the bed is not in fact a Queen sized. The staff even sent a picture with a measuring tape in which they omitted a length wise measurement and the width side measurement the tape measure was not flush at the far end and the end did not reach the 60” that is the correct width dimension for a Queen sized. THEREFORE, by their own measurements the mattress was not a Queen sized. No problem, just don’t CHARGE me for a Queen sized and gaslight me my entire stay to not believe my own eyes when I can clearly see that the bed is a full sized mattress and not a Queen sized. I would not stay here again… It was the gaslighting from the front desk staff that makes this hotel particularly poor. Guess next time I’ll stick with Hilton and Marriott. I’ve never had a problem either switching rooms or getting a refund when the mattress was not the appropriate size at these hotels.
Staff sent a “proof” image of the mattress size where the tape does not meet the edge of the far side of the mattress. Pretty pathetic attempt at gaslighting.

Very friendly & helpful staff all around (front desk, doorman/porter/bell hop, housekeeping). Arrived before check-in time & front desk alerted me by txt msg as soon as room was available (~5hrs prior to official check-in time), and accommodated late check-out by up to 30min. Only blemish was I encountered (& exterminated) a very small cockroach in the bathroom during my stay.
