Clean, with a minimalist Scandinavian look like IKEA; the floors do not have carpets, for example, but rather wood veneer. t is under new management, tomorrow they open an Australian restaurant (which I will not be able to go to, unfortunately), and next month they open a cocktail bar. It is in Orchard between Delancey and Rivington.

The staff was incredible - specifically Audra who helped me get checked in a tad early after my trip from SC. She addressed me by name my entire trip which added a special touch during a trip to the big city. Made me feel I had an immediate friend. The building is gorgeous, along with the views. Perfect location to feel like a local, help that makes you feel like a celebrity.

Atendimento da equipe da recepção muito bom, mas o quarto estava bem sujo. Mesmo solicitando, tivemos limpeza no quarto apenas em 1 dos 4 dias que nos hospedamos. As camareiras jogavam a poeira para debaixo dos móveis e o chão ficava imundo. A vista do quarto é linda, mas as camas que supostamente eram para ser queen, eram no máximo uma cama de casal de viuva. Tirando o tamanho, a cama era confortável. A vista do quarto era muito linda. Se a sua intenção é se hospedar em um grupo de 4 pessoas, não recomendo, pois o quarto é muito apertado para essa capacidade.
