The staff is terrific - front desk to housekeeping to baggage check. They are awesome!

Amy, United States of America

The location was unbeatable. Directly across the street from Lincoln Center. Close enough to go back to our room at intermission!

Aoye, United States of America

I really liked this hotel! I went because I wanted to spend my anniversary in NYC and I am a “Gossip Girl” fan. I love how they’ve embraced this with cocktails named after the series. The way they honor it is subtle which keeps the class of the hotel. The hotel was swanky and cool! The room was comfortable!

The only thing that makes me crazy is the sign has letters that don’t work! We went to the rooftop for dinner but had to leave because there were no vegan options at all! Before we went I tried to find menus online but couldn’t! Breakfast the next day was better because they had oatmeal with fruit. They did have soy milk for coffee but the coffee was so strong that we couldn’t drink it!

the hotel was difficult to stay in. First, the room that was given to me was looking directly into the brick wall. I was there for a week, it was getting very depressing in a few hours, also the room was a size of any normal bathroom I asked to change the room, they agreed. I brought my luggage down and left because the room wasn't ready, upon my return, the room was ready and I was told my luggage is in my room. Of course it wasn't. I called front desk to see where my luggage is, they promised to bring up right away. Long story short, 2 hours later, no luggage. noone knew where my luggage was the shower in the room was difficult, and unpleasant. I love hot showers in the morning, this shower was out of control. At the check out, I was charged for coffee that I never ordered, but apparently I asked for, unbeknownst to me, The hotel is dated and not well kept, maybe 30 yeas ago it was a great place to stay, but not anymore It was not an enjoyable stay for me
location was nice, right by the Opera house, UWS
