The hotel is wrapping up a major renovation and is quite charming. We stayed in a standard King room. Plenty of room for two, but definitely no more. The room was updated, well-lit and bed was comfy. The staff were friendly and eager to help with any requests. Overall, a good stay in great location.

Great central location. Rooms were very small but I think that’s a NYC thing. Cleaning staff was excellent and decor was cute. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The downside was that the water pipes were very loud at night. Beds were very comfortable in our entire party slept well. I would recommend this place to anyone.
