the beds were so soft! Broken Shaker being attached to the roof was excellent and the hotel room was quit despite that.
United States of AmericaThe rooms were small but that was expected in NY. Staff was very accommodating, especially Hero who greeted us at the door, took our bags for us, and remembered all of our names whenever we came back to the lobby. The location was good for the Friends Experience and a few bars at night. Overall we had a good time.
United States of AmericaThe location was excellent, very easy to access on the bus from Grand Central. I loved the Broken Shaker bar on the roof and the overall decor and design of the lobby and rooms. the bed was very comfortable as well
United KingdomFunky hotel in a good location for getting around the city. Nice idea having 4 bunks for the family so that the kids didn't have to share a bed. Everything was clean and comfortable. Liked the fact that dogs are welcomed! And nice have an eatery onsite.
United States of AmericaCool decor, nice rooms. Clean. Excellent location.
United States of AmericaGreat 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.
