This is a great location for those who want to avoid the crowds of Times Square, etc. The staff was top-notch- friendly & professional & helpful. It’s a smaller hotel which means you won’t wait long for an elevator & both elevators worked! The rooms were big by NYC standards. Will definitely stay here again!

This Hotel even through it is old was trending to a solid 4 stars , however , the last 2 nights the bed sheets were incredibly itchy that made it impossible to sleep !! I asked a very nice maid who said the hotel recently changed laundry companies and sometimes when get new sheets powder is coming off them and burn her eyes ! When I approached the from desk they didn't seem very concerned and told me to fill out a survey ? There's a lot to like about this hotel but until they do something about the laundry service I can't go back !!

I tried to work with concierge had two calls and a few emails. There was no follow through. It was a special event stay and I was disappointed. Front desk staff was not much help. No bell hop to assist with taking things to the room.

Great Hotel

The staff was perhaps the friendliest staff I have encountered. Julie was a joy at 2:30 in the morning when we finally arrived after a 4 hour delay. The only 3 things - the walls seemed really thin, the house cleaners knocked on our door at 8:30 even though we were checking out at 11:30 (did I mention we had only gotten in at 2:30), and there was no a/c!
