We stayed here as a couple for a 5 night break in NYC. We chose to stay here based on affordability, location to Manhatten and the website listing showing spacious rooms.
We read a number of negative reviews about the hotel, largely down to the local neighbourhood. However, this did not cause us any problems or concerns at all, despite coming back very late.
The hotel staff were excellent, particularly Christina and Edgar who were very friendly and attentive.
The rooms were spacious and spotless and had everything we needed. The bed was was huge, and super comfy.
The breakfast was always well stocked with what we wanted, fruit juices, coffee, hot breakfast, make your own waffles, bagels etc. The kitchen staff were also very helpful.
Would we stay here again? Definitely. Would we recommend to friends and family? Definitely.
