For the price we paid, this property is a bit too bareboned. Also, some days the water in the bathroom was not hot enough, especially at night.

Liked: Staff & service
The first room that they put us in hadn't been cleaned - the bed wasn't made, there were towels on the floor, and a bag of trash in the room. We went back down and they quickly put us in another room which seemed fine until we went to shower that night when we returned. The shower would only work with the water in the cold position. If you moved it to hot, it wouldn't come out of the shower head - just the faucet. At this point it was too late in the evening to do anything about it, so one of us took a cold shower and the other chose to just wash their face. Very nice location and easy to walk to things, but I likely won't risk it again at this hotel. We were only there for one night, so we really didn't have time to deal with these kinds of issues.

Pros: Excellent location Restaurants were very good Clean Quiet for NYC Good price Cons: A bit of referred maintenance (running toilet, bedside light wouldn't go off) In room coffee terrible. Nespresso knockoff was not good. Also ditch the powdered creamer and supply the real thing. Would i stay again? Yes, but I'd locate Starbucks a lot quicker.

Everything about the property was great! The service, location, and hospitality was amazing. The only downside was the thermostat in our room was not working as it should be. It was freezing one night and I tried setting the thermostat at a higher temperature and it simply wouldn’t work. Besides that minor inconvenience it was a great stay overall.
