The location was good. What I love the most is the room was very clean. And that is very important in a hotel. The staff were very friendly. The manager was helped us move the booking from December to January bec the booking.com wasn’t helpful at all.

Carla United States of America

Great location and access. Well run and clean. The Art Deco hotel gave it character. Good parking connection with a lot, at half price. Quiet and easy to negotiate.

Dave United States of America

I love the design & the colors... the location was awesome because we were few blocks away from grand central terminal.

Escarlet Mexico

Great location and good price. Room was clean and although it didn't have a bathroom, it did have a sink. Very satisfied.

Michael United States of America

Staff were very friendly. Hotel was older, however very clean. Fun old elevator for that retro euro experience. Rooms were very clean and quiet, could not hear any traffic. Location was great...15 min walk to times Square. My family saw a show at MSG and well within walking distance. No on-site parking, however garage located a block away (staff at garage are not very pleasant, not hotels fault) and paid $25 vs. $70 with Seton validation on ticket.

Carla United States of America

Location is so nice, close to midtown without the hustle and bustle. Staff were fantastic. Room was clean. Starbucks across the street. The List goes on and on, but it was just a really positive experience.

Travis United States of America

Love the art deco decor,exceptionally clean comfortable room.Will definitely stay there again when in New York.Very friendly helpful staff and discounted parking garage less then a block away.

Sean United States of America

The Room was nice but a bit dark I would recommend also some more modern touches such as USB charging station. I think their was apple charge but certain model. I had great experience.

David United States of America

What a wonderful find! The location is superb, central and close to everything. The room was very nice and quiet, a big room that I shared with a friend. I don't know that I've ever stayed in a cleaner hotel. The little patio area in the back was a wonderful addition. The bathroom was lovely, great water pressure and sparkling clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting New York. Absolutely perfect!

Ekristie United States of America

Old building converted to hotel. Spacious rooms with high ceilings. Spotless. Quiet. Old heating with window air conditioners not ideal. Terrific location. Will return!
