Great location, shame about the lift
This hotel would have had a four star rating, however, one of its two lifts broke down the day after arriving and still hadn’t been repaired on the day we left, we were there for. 6 days. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location to be able to navigate our to do list.

Love the location, cleanliness, comfy bed free bottled water and breakfast! I just wished both elevators were working. 1 elevator only works and can only hold a max of 8, maybe 4-5 with the luggages.

Great location near MSG. Room was extremely clean. Only negative is that only one elevator was working and it would “forget” which floors people had pushed so it would go up and down to different (unselected floors) unless you kept reentering the floor #s (which is challenging with several people going to different floors). Great hotel and I’m sure they’ll get the elevator fixed.

We were very disappointed to be given a basement room upon our arrival, after travelling all day from western Canada. We were told we could get a higher floor the next day, but that came with the inconvenience of having to pack up all of our things. Once we were in the 11th floor room however, it smelled very bad of sweat. It was horrible! We also felt cheated out of the complimentary breakfast that was offered on our first morning there. We had to leave the hotel early to get a spot for the Macy’s Parade, so we were unable to benefit from the free breakfast. It would have been nice if the hotel could have offered some “grab n go” breakfasts in a bag for those taking in the parade. We would have then received our complimentary breakfast and we could have started our long day with some food. Also, the elevator was not working properly on our 2nd morning there. I had a severe knee issue, and taking the stairs from the 11th floor was not an option for me. Other than that, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. They gladly kept all of our bags for us when we switched rooms and again when we checked out. The complimentary water was also an added bonus!

I liked the cleanliness and the cleaning staff! They were amazing. We had many issues with the elevator and the breakfast area had to be left at 10am sharp. The reception staff didn’t explain the facilities and how some things worked in the room. We found out 2 days before leaving that we could get ice from a machine in the ground floor. We had a great experience with the Night Shift reception staff.

Close to Penn Station so Uber Shuttle dropoff and pick up for LGA was convenient and short walk to Highline and many areas of interest. Breakfast was more than adequate, rooms comfortable. Our one issue was that one of the mornings there was a large group checking out and we had to wait for a while before we could go down the elevator from the 10th floor.
