I was impressed by how clean and modern the place is. The room was up to date and finished in off white giving a clean vibe. The staff was exceedingly polite and helpful. On our last day the desk clerk Barbara was very accommodating with our need to stay a few hours after check out time. This is a place I would return to and can recommend without hesitation

No food or free bottle of water or any welcoming thing in your room. The bathtub wasn’t that clean. Would say if I don’t have choice maybe will rebook it but will try to avoid it as much as I can

The hotel was great! It was a central location to Times Square which is where I wanted to be however, I wished they had informed me that it would be difficult to get to the hotel on New Years Eve because all of the streets in Times Square were blocked off and shut down !
