Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were just average with some disturbance due to noise from the front of the hotel, but they were lovely overall with essential amenities like a safebox, TV, aircon, and a clean bathroom. The service definitely needs some improvement in terms of people skills, yet some staff members, like Jeto, stood out for their professional attitude and helpfulness. The location was fantastic, making it convenient to access various attractions and businesses in the city, especially for first-timers in NY. However, the limited seating space was a drawback. The dining experience was simple, offering muffins and coffee with room for improvement, especially for non-coffee drinkers. The facilities met basic expectations but nothing standout.

The hotel is in an excellent location in midtown, making it perfect for first-timers in NY. The rooms had a good size, were huge, very clean, and mostly comfortable, but could have used a little more space. The service was nice, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The dining experience offered a choice of two sickly muffins and bitter coffee, which was a downside. The location is a highlight, being close to subway stops and Bryant Park. The facilities were decent.
The hotel had a unique early 20th-century decor in the rooms with somewhat mucky pond wallpaper, but they were equipped with cozy sofas or chairs.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had excellent internet connectivity. The lobby was beautiful, and having complimentary coffee in the morning was a nice touch. The only downside was the presence of bugs, which was a bit off-putting.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, close to Macy's and Korea-town, with easy connections to various Manhattan spots. However, the noise from the street made it hard to sleep at night, and it was a bit out of the way.
