Pros (+) Live jazz with drop in performers was dynamite to come home to after a long day working! My room had beautiful wall paintings of a large bird and enormous, luminous trees - really made me feel special each day. Great place to start and finish each day!
Cons (-) I picked the hotel for the location, convenience of the parking garage, and funky feel. I was not disappointed.
Pros (+) Great value for what we paid. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nearby area is interesting to walk around for window shopping and eating. Breakfast quality is great.
Cons (-) They charge an additional fee that includes breakfast, wifi, and use of the fitness center. It would be more straightforward to include that in the base rate.
Pros (+) Enjoyed our stay very much. I would definitely come back. Slept like a baby. Probably even better than at home.
Pros (+) Very central location!
Cons (-) A bit noisy... but that’s NY anyways
Pros (+) It was an all around great stay there.
