I really enjoyed my stay here at the merchant. Such a great location with an amazing view. Check in and check out were a breeze. I loved how clean the bathrooms were and the room itself. Andrea really made everything so easy for our stay anytime I needed something she was there. Super polite staff and had a nice small cafe in the lobby. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be back for that Empire State Building view
The view seems far in photos but is actually a lot closer In person
