    It will once again be worth almost a thousand dollars a night when the renovation is completed.

    Sadly it was under massive renovation and they did not have a lounge set up for guests nor a place to sit and order a drink. In such a large hotel they could have carved out a business room for that. They did have coffee and danish so that was appreciated.

    Love the location, staff, our room.

    Dated. Looking forward to completion of the renovation. The rooms desperately need it. The chair is not comfortable. Room is dark. The curtains don’t stay all the way open so it blocks the light from 1/3 of the window. Hallways dark. The value of the room was a bit pricey considering that there were really no amenities in the hotel.

    Great location with plenty of bars & restaurants in the area. Close to NYU, can walk 20 mins north or south to Soho or Chelsea area. Great size room. Clean. Comfy bed.

    See above answer

    Staff was great! Restaurant, bar and coffee lounge was under construction - no alternatives on offer and seeing as coffee was included in price should have been offered in room coffee or voucher or sth. Rooms could do with being soundproofed - could hear ppl in the corridor and my neighbours having sex.

    It's a great hotel and I'd stay here again. You may need to expect somewhat unprofessional service.

    The staffs seem rather unprofessional (might be due to COVID layoffs). I was initially given a room without a Union Square view even though I booked a room with the view. I was given a new room when I asked for the change, but there wasn't an apology. The staffs were often having casual conversations amongst themselves while leaving the doors and the reception desk unattended. The hotel was undergoing a renovation and all restaurants were closed which I was not made aware of prior to my stay. There is a mandatory destination charge of $25 per night. This means that you will need to spend $25 per night in the hotel somehow although all dining options were unavailable. The only options were minibars and laundry which are both terribly overprices.

    The room was generous in size, very clean and had a great view over the Union Square. The location was perfect. It's close to many amenities including groceries and restaurants.

    Restaurant / amenities are under construction. This should be made known before a reservation is booked, vs. being alerted after (not fair to guests). Once it is made you are committed, and this may have been of significant importance to some guests. We were able to work around it, and the hotel helped make up for it.

    Room size was perfect; very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    • Stayed 7 nights

    We were notified beforehand (and hence it wasn't really a problem) that the hotel is currently being refurbished. During our stay the bars and restaurant were closed. Only one lift working but it was manned by a member of staff, so we never had to wait.

    We had a very well appointed suite. We stayed for seven days so this gave us plenty of space. New York hotel rooms are often quite small, so we were very happy. This is our fourth or fifth stay here. It's a great location to visit the city, but well away from the "madness" of Times Square!

    When I booked, it was noted that construction on the hotel would be ending before my stag, but it was still going on when I arrived. Thus, the restaurant and bar at the hotel were not open due to construction and there was noise all night long at one point (not just during the day).

    The bed and pillows were very comfortable, the room was spacious, the view from the room was nice, and the hotel's location is fantastic.
