    As we were in a room next to the lift, it was sometimes a bit noisy, nothing bad though!

    Great hotel, clean, comfortable, the staff is friendly. Housekeeping does their job well and are discreet. Great location for a first visit to NYC.

    As it is close to times square, is a bit noisy, two, three nights might be ok, but in our case that was a week, was like sleeping poorly for a long period.

    It's super new, staff is nice, rooms are clean (indeed a bit small, but is NY), and is well located.

    The room could have been a bit lighter and had another mirror in the bedroom area

    The hotel was very clean and in perfect location. The front door staff were very helpful and kind. The hotel is beautifully done out

    No possibility to order diner in the room after midnight. You need to have a full room service especially for foreigners that travel with jet lag.

    unfriendly check in.We came 2 hours before a possible check in time ,after a lengthy flight from Molokai,via Honolulu.To check in 1,5 hours earlier I was asked to pay additional 200 USD,alternatvely to upgrade to suit for 800 USD extra.I explained that we wanted to have a quick shower and to go to visit my Father grave in Elmswood.Absolutely no understanding. Thanks to Daniel we got our room earlier without having to pay atrocious 800 dollars. Pity,most dissapointing. Dr Andrew Tabaczynski.Poland.

    fantastic and most helpful operations director Daniel Gomez.Made our day.

    Not much. Bathroom is very small, and it's a bit strange that the sink is outside the bathroom. For those who do not want to be in a noisy and crowded area - this will not suit them.

    The location of the hotel is very good for those who want to be in the center of things - Times Square. It's a busy area, but very easy to get to. The hotel is clean, the room is very cute and cozy You can enjoy the lights of Time Square from the window Relative to the hotels in New York, and relative to the affordable price - I think it's a good vfm

    It’s really close to Times Square, so you have to know that in the evening, you will hear some noises. But so far it was OK and Tolerable. :)

    We like it really much. They have a really special ambient inside. And we loved the interior design. And it’s so central that you can walk everywhere , really close to Rockefeller Center, and Times Square and also from the battery park or the fifth Avenue it’s really close for walking. The staff of the hotel was really kind and really helpful ! And everyone is in a very good mood.

    If I could request the car to be ready at a specific time, it would be great. There were times when they told me 45 minutes and they brought it in less time and I still wasn't ready.

    came 3 hours before the check in time, to get the room, which was available and ready I paid 100 additional USD. that's a bit much (maybe im spoiled with service in the UAE). the district around the hotel is also not safe, a lot of people who offer drugs just 10 mins from hotel entrance. too noisy during the daytime (sirens, construction sites)

    Great new (in feb 24) hotel. Location just around the corner from Times Square. Nice views, cozy rooms, coffee machine and very nice bathroom with panoramic window. great rooftop bar.
