Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's perfect location, being close to major attractions like Central Park and Times Square. Many praised the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds, along with excellent service from the staff. However, several guests expressed dissatisfaction regarding the lack of air conditioning and overpriced additional fees, as well as outdated bathrooms and issues with plumbing. Noise levels from neighboring rooms were also mentioned as a concern, which detracted from the overall experience.

Pros (+) The Location was great. The hotel staff was great. The pool was comfortable.
Cons (-) The only complaint is the valet staff was horrible. Rude, won’t smile or mutter anything when you ask questions. I made the front desk give me change in the hotel to tip the valet. Didn’t end up tipping the valet at all.

Kevin, Apr 2019
Pros (+) Location for Lincoln Center was great. A few blocks of walking. Access to the hotel by car was right off of Henry Hudson to 57th st. We didn't have to make a turn on a city street. Valet parking was reasonable with validation ($25 a day)
Cons (-) We were the first room next to the elevators and there were some children on the floor. We learned that the doors and walls let in a lot of noise.

Pros (+) Location. Mice issue we had offset everything.
Cons (-) Mice in my bedroom. On my last day, unfortunately we had a terrible experience with 2 MICE in bedroom. Disgusting. The hotel moved us to another room and did not wave our stay- which I foubd unaceptable after such an experience.

Pros (+) I got a decently good price for a hotel room in that area. The room was spacious for a petite queen. Nice view from the room.
Cons (-) - Staff “accidently” charged my card $150 security deposit. - Bed was clumpy and hard but linens were soft. - No powdered milk or sugar for coffee. - Shower was ice cold and would only get “warm” when you put it on the hand written “H” that someone drew in with sharpie. - Towels had hidden brown stains. - TV wouldn’t show information so couldn’t surf channels easily. - Walls are thin and doors sla...
