Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's location, highlighting its proximity to subway lines and great Manhattan views. The bed comfort was praised, with many describing them as super comfortable. However, there were significant complaints about cleanliness and the lack of basic amenities in rooms, such as coffee makers and refrigerators. The service, particularly in the restaurant, received criticism for being slow and insufficient. Overall, while the hotel has a lot of positives, there are key areas that need improvement.

I think it's decent if you're traveling alone, then again this might be perfect for others.

Pros (+) The decor and cleanliness were lovely, and the location was great - quicker walk to subway and trip to Manhattan than I'd expected. Bed and sheets very comfortable, quality towels, and spacious room and bathroom. View was also terrific.
Cons (-) The only reasons I'm not giving 5 stars are: not enough towels for a couple (despite asking for more). Breakfast/coffee service ridiculously slow and chaotic.

Shower charmingly minimal but not that practical-because it's ...

Pros (+) The Manhattan balcony view was amazing
Cons (-) Room service was a little slow with things, but I'm sure it was extremely busy because of the high volume of people on the weekend
