Despite some room issues like the small size and lack of amenities, the hotel's prime location near major attractions and transportation options makes it a convenient choice. The service is friendly, although there were some concerns with certain aspects. The limited dining options are a downside, especially during special events. Overall, it offers good value for visitors seeking a central spot in Manhattan.

The hotel's rooms were very good, clean, and well-maintained, but the couch was uncomfortable for sleeping with no bedding available. I wished for more storage space. The staff's service was mixed, some members being rude and threatening while others cared for guests' comfort. The location was fantastic, near major attractions and transit hubs. The dining offerings were basic but sufficient. The hotel had some positive aspects but also some drawbacks.

The hotel provides beautifully furnished rooms with luxe wooden floors, excellent cleanliness, and a comfortable interior. The natural light in the room is a plus, especially when your window faces the hotel entrance. The service was a mix of politeness and intrusiveness, slightly affecting the overall stay. The location is convenient, although room sizes may be compact. The dining experience offers fresh, enjoyable options. The facilities are satisfactory, offering what is needed for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, despite being small, had a contemporary feel with high ceilings, wood floors, and a large TV. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. However, the lack of storage space was a downside. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster, initially not very welcoming but eventually proving to be amazing, friendly, and helpful. The location was ideal for exploring, being close to many attractions and dining options, but the room size might be a challenge for some. The dining was decent with simple dishes available, although I had limited involvement. Additional positive aspects included convenient access to most places and being near subway entrances, but the air-conditioning system on the wall might not be everyone's preference.

The hotel had a prime location in the heart of NYC, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms, although spacious for the city, seemed a bit neglected in terms of maintenance. The service was warm and welcoming, reflecting a customer-centric approach. The complimentary breakfast was lacking in variety and quality. Overall, a decent option with potential for improvements.

The hotel is ideally located near major attractions like Madison Square Gardens and Times Square, making it a perfect spot for a great trip in Manhattan. The rooms are spacious and quiet, ideal for work and relaxation, though the main light issue can be an inconvenience. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some lapses in communication and elevators etiquette. The dining options, while not the healthiest, offered a good variety for breakfast. The facilities were adequate but could be improved, with fresh bread rolls being a highlight.

The rooms are really quiet and perfect for getting work done, and spacious enough for a family of four to move around comfortably, despite the main light not working properly. Showers late at night disturbed our sleep briefly.
