Location was excellent. Quite pricey and rooms a little small - but not for New York!

Great location, average facilities

I have spent the last few weeks travelling around the states with the same budget for each hotel and this was by far the most disappointing. Room was so tiny we could only have one suitcase open at a time. Ratty towels and sheets. Definitely would not stay here again.

Nice in good location

Pros: The staff did everything to make our stay as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. The location is also excellent.
Cons: The rooms are tiny. There is maybe a foot and a half of clearance around the bed, which connects directly to the bathroom.
The staff were fantastic. They were very friendly and helpful and made it an enjoyable experience. It's also in a great location and easy to access the subway to get around the city. However, the rooms are very, very small, impossible to open a suitcase in.
