Great views, really eclectic architecture and design elements, loved the cafe downstairs, location is very central and easy access to everything. Gym had all I needed as well! I'll definitely return and recommend to my friends.
United States of AmericaLocation, decor, the rooms are well appointed, it wasn’t missing a thing! New bathroom, very very clean. We would definitely stay here again.
United States of AmericaLoved the location and the hotel is super cute and clean. Will stay here again!
United States of AmericaThe room is so incredibly cute and clean. Love the ambiance. Rooftop bar is such a vibe, I also brought my mom up there and felt like it was so comfortable and enjoyable. Smile to go is delicious and easy.
United States of AmericaWe had a deluxe King which, while compact, still had enough space for a comfy sitting and desk area. Comfortable bed with good linens; glad we could open the window for a bit of fresh air. Location is perfect for exploring the city.
United States of AmericaLobby and rooftop bar were super convenient and amazing to hangout in
United States of AmericaLocation was great, easy to get all over town through subway (4-6 stops to all locations we wanted to go to). Staff was nice and being able to check in bags before check-in and after check-out was a life-saver.
United States of AmericaGorgeous lobby. Beautiful decor and comfy bed. Everything seemed brand new including the gym equipment.
United States of AmericaClean and cute. Nice size room for the city (stayed in the threes company room). Great location. Bed was extremely comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again.
United States of AmericaWe stayed in a premium king, was spacious and comfortable. The bed was huge and there was a small workstation in the room. The design is nice and homey.
