The building is modern and nice but seems like it has not been very well-maintained and the cleaning is not well-done. At first glance it looks clean, but on closer inspection you will notice many areas are dirty or stained - scuffs/stains on the walls, stains on towels and sheets, hair/debris in places where it easily could have been vacuumed. In my room I noticed there was water damage coming in on the bathroom ceiling from the unit above and all over the walls I saw stains and scuffs. Also, when I arrived at my room the safe door was open but stuck in the “lock” position so I couldn’t close it to program my password and use it (a stupid move from the previous guest, but should have been fixed before I got there). I told the front desk, who said maintenance would come the next day. No one came during my three-night stay, which was annoying. Also, there are no pool cues and balls to use the pool table. Also, the staff at the front desk weren’t explicitly rude, but I had the sense while talking to them that simple inquires were an unwelcome inconvenience. My room’s door was also not well soundproofed.
The area is reasonably quiet and close to fifth ave and great restaurants. The pool on the roof is nice, especially with the current sargassum situation at the beach.
This place is decent and has the potential to be great with proper cleaning, maintenance, attention to detail, and better customer service. However, the “10/10” reviews from other guests are a bit too generous.
