    I’ve stayed here a few times, this being my second time this year alone. I was very disappointed with the size of the room. It was a room and not a suite. My room was 211 which I was excited about because I’ve stayed in that room before as well as room 210 and I as familiar with the size of those rooms. Then last the last minute my room was changed to 304 very small! It was very disappointing to say the least. It was a waste of money.

    The walls were dirty. The window shades were broken. You have to take out the garbage yourself. There’s no housekeeping. There’s no front desk/lobby. The highest floor is the 3rd floor. They display you this tall building but that’s only for leasing.

    The bed was comfortable

    They gave me the wrong room info, there was an iron board, but no iron and I searched all over the room for the iron. The coffee maker didn’t work.. and the bed is white. The cleaning people should do a better job with wiping the bed as far as the headboard and along the sides of the bed I shouldn’t see someone else dirt on the headboard .. especially since you guys charge $79 cleaning fee

    It’s convenient

    The building smells very bad due to cigarettes and marijuana smokers, not enough toilet paper for a family of 5, pictures on the walls was tilted, some parts of the floor was broken, the toilet was loosen, the tube drain was loosened, and the bathroom sink’s drain was missing.

    The location was go. It was near the subway station and near plenty of stores and restaurants.

    Location is close to metro system, but not the greatest part of town. Building seemed a little shady at first, but once we got in it was really nice.

    Bed TV and Bathroom were great. Soap, and everything was included! Kitchenette was wonderful. Overall great place

    I was charged for a room with a balcony and the balcony was not available due to remodeling/maintenance. I was not even able to open the door for natural air. I called to ask for a change in room or reimbursement of the differential pay and was ignored. The hotel does not have a concierge and everything is done electronically. As a non resident, you do not have access to the majority of the amenities such as spa, rooftop, café, pool etc. there was an extra table in the room that took away from valuable space due to the room being so small.

    I liked that the location was in a quiet and safe area. The décor was in good condition and clean. Could benefit with more space saving furniture. Good sound barriers for outside noise in the room.

    Neighborhood wasn’t the best but you’ll have that in NYC. I wish maid service was available a couple times during the stay to get clean towels and trash removal.

    Very beautiful, modern and clean. A short walk to the subway. Very affordable

    The communication with the host was very poor, we requested an early check in and was told no problem that could be done but when we arrived they said the rooms weren’t ready and that we couldn’t check in until 4pm and even at 430pm our access codes didn’t work and had to call to get it working witch isn’t a big deal but the person on the phone was rude and made it seem like we were inconveniencing him

    It was New York so its hard to get parking in the first place. I did see some cosmetic issues, i.e. the table: the legs were broken upon arrival, the shower: the shower didn't have a door which allowed water to splash out.

    There was no breakfast, but the area had a plethora of options to choose from for anytime of day! So it was exciting!

    Tv had no remote so I was unable to watch tv for the duration of my stay. There is no active staff around to assist with anything and they lied and said they would issue a compensation for me being inconvenienced and they never did…totally unacceptable plus they have no smoking area which was an inconvenience considering the weather

    The room amenities were useful
