Excellent, clean room with extremely helpful staff. Location is right next to the 6 Train and a Starbucks is next to that, and lots of local spots for dinner, late night snacks and drinks for the room. We’ve stayed here nearly a dozen times and have made it a home away from home.
Wonderful staff. It could have been warmer but at least they brought a small electric heating to supplement the very windy and cold climate. Overall, I would return to this hotel with a great coffee cafe.
I've stayed here a few times before and the staff is always friendly, the rooms are always clean and comfortable. The only minor complaint this time was that the room was very cold. Spoke to front desk about it and all good. There’s lots of eatery options in the area and it's a great location.
The hotel location was great, room was quiet, bed was comfortable, and staff were helpful and friendly. The care, Noa, was nice for a coffee in the am and had breakfast items (didn’t eat so don’t know how good).
Mid town location is good for all of Manhattan
Older hotel with a very nice renovation
We did have a heat issue. Hotel provided quality space heater to help with the issue
Great hotel! Rooms are a little small but standard for NYC. Hip and nice, great location, great staff. Coffee shop in lobby is nice and has an arrangement with the really nice gym next door. Will stay again.

Very clean and cozy room. Fantastic staff. Will stay here again.
The room was clean, cozy, and surprisingly fairly quiet for being in midtown NYC! The bathroom was chic with a lovely shower. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Location was perfect. This is the only hotel I have ever stayed in that did not have an option for coffee in the room though, and that would certainly make it better.
Friendly staff, clean rooms. Walkable to different shops, very good impression the moment I walked in, will definitely book again for my next visit !

Clean and cozy room, friendly staff and a convenient location nearby the subway lines. Sweet exterior and a nice rooftop patio with views of the Empire State Building.
Charming boutique hotel in an excellent location. The neighborhood has many restaurants, including a cozy cafe in the building and is steps away from the Subway.
