    Our bathroom flooded for some unknown reason but the staff were super responsive and got us moved quickly. The mattress on the fold out couch could be replaced.

    Great location to see NYC. Facilities were great and staff were friendly and helpful.

    I didn’t know till the last day there was a fitness facility in the SC level… perhaps I wasn’t listening on arrival

    The breakfast in the restaurant next door was nice if you are traveling alone… but pricey for 2. The location is quiet, staff friendly and helpful. The wine between 5-7 pm was such a treat to enjoy and relax in the lounge. We enjoyed the proximity to so many walkable or easily reachable sites.

    We are vegan and we didnt eat at the hotel, would have been nice if the breakfast charge would not apply if the guest is not eating at the hotel at all.

    The nicest staff! I highly recommend this hotel. Room was nice and clean and the staff was amazing.

    House keeping needs to pay attention to how well they clean the room and how well they stock the room with supplies such as coffee

    Staff are very friendly, Location is great (near my office) and good sized rooms. Value for money was exceptional.

Great location, too! Very comfortable, great shower, especially coming in after a late fun night. Very relaxing and private.

    Lift was tempremental sometimes, the breakfast part of the package was delivered to your room after you had left a note outside. No buffet either, It wasn't the greatest so we just did coffee and went out to local places for breakfast instead,

    Great location, lots to do in the area and not far from places like 5th avenue and time square. Friendly staff, room redone every day, although not requested. Great view of all four streets as we were on a corner windowed room. All ways something going on to see.

    No cutlery or plates in the room. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker and dish washer drawer but no plates or bowls or utensils of any kind. They had an ice bucket but no wine glasses. Air conditioner didn’t work properly, it got fixed but then struggled still. There was a heat wave though.

    Great location, easy walk to transport, Times Square and heaps of places to eat! Friendly staff, nice happy hour and restaurant attached is great.

    We had a corner room. Taking into consideration the pictures of the rooms onsite, I was somewhat disappointed at the space of the room. We were told to leave our breakfast order before midnight at the door with a specific time, but we got room service almost an hour later than expected. Which took us longer to get our day going.

    Great location! Walking distance from a lot of great places. Close to Times Square, but away from the noise and rush of people. Has an amazing Danish Coffee place right in front (Ole & Steen). Included breakfast (was amazing) and discount to utilize in their own restaurants. During our check-out, we wanted to have a walk around without our luggage, the staff was amazing at taking care of our things.
