This was a great location! A block from the subway or a few blocks from Penn Station. Breakfast was great and rooms very clean and modern. One of the elevators was broken when we stayed so it was a little inconvenient waiting for one during high traffic times (breakfast or evening) but wasn’t too bad. We took the stair when we could. Staff checking in was very nice and recommended a parking lot for us.

I am not one to usually write reviews but my stay at your accommodation warrants one. Apart from the location being near sites and train stations, nothing good comes out of your experience in this hotel. Firstly, that damn elevator needs to be fixed. You got over 15 people waiting in line for one Mesozoic lift that might make you stuck if you’re unlucky. Breakfast was a nightmare. Seats aren’t enough and your meals could induce a heart attack in two minutes with the poorest array of viands for consumption. They shouldn’t be consumed. No veggies or anything fresh aside from bruised apples and oranges. Poor staff and maintenance response. It was freezing cold inside our room with a faulty thermostat and an even more faulty GE heater. Rang staff and the front desk a few times and they will either lie to you by saying that maintenance will come in an hour OR they plainly don’t respond your call. So you have no choice but to use said crappy elevator to throw a fit downstairs to get their attention. Moreover, what’s up with the hidden fees? A destination fee of $28.69 is outstandingly expensive for such a crappy service with absolutely NO amenities. It’s also absurd how your staff promotes “FREE” water per day of stay without having to mention the mandatory fee that you’d have to pay to drink the damn thing. They don’t even mention it when checking in OR checking out and just deducts it to your $150 deposit upon check in. Absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention there’s

Rooms are good. But breakfast lobby is way too small for the croud, and this becomes hell. Only one of the elevators was working, so it took up to 10 min to get to our room due to the jam. Bathroom was not vacuumed properly with many women hair on the tiles. Front desk not friendly.

You get what you pay for
The room was NY-small, which was fine for the price, but having only one working elevator for a 15-floor building was difficult. Also, a lot of the housekeeping stuff happens on the first floor, right next to the elevator. The pancake machine was working, but the dining are was a zoo since it was very small relative to the number of guests.

The staff was friendly, room service was excellent! Our room did not have a refrigerator, a staff member assisted with having one brought to our room in a timely manner. The location was great for walking distance to the subway. The area was clean, and felt safe.

Overall, our stay was decent, but we did encounter a few issues. One night, we struggled to sleep due to other guests partying in the hallways. They were smoking marijuana in a neighboring room, which caused our room to smell of smoke. These disturbances occurred between 3-5 AM, which we found completely unacceptable. We eventually reported the issue to the front desk, and security intervened, bringing the situation under control. Thankfully, we didn’t experience any further disruptions for the rest of our stay. Additionally, one of the two elevators broke down, leading to long wait times to travel between floors. Despite these inconveniences, our stay was overall satisfactory.
