We loved the location. In the heart of Manhattan but away from the huge crowds of Midtown/Times Square. The rooftop deck and plunge pool was a unique feature we enjoyed greatly. Room was a good size. Lobby was chic and welcoming. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Kelly, United States of America

Great location, comfort, extension of hours (came in early & late check out!...loved it overall, thx!

Anjali, United States of America

The staff was extremely helpful. I traveled with my mother who needed extra help. Everyone was so accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Leigh, United States of America

Pasquale and his front desk team are very professional and accommodating. 5 for customer service from front desk to housekeeping.

Mary, United States of America

Very firm mattress :) Prompt response for extra items requested. Pleasant staff.

James, United States of America

Not worth the cost and final stay price was ridiculously higher than I was quoted by Booking.com

Kathleen, United States of America

The tea and coffee-making facilities paid for were not in the room and, according to staff, "not available on that floor". A room change was offered. For a two night stay on the second day this was not worth the effort.

Neil, Netherlands

Beautifully designed lobby and mezzanine. The staff was great.

Jay, United States of America

The view overlooking the Lincoln Center and fountain was lovely from this corner suite.

The air conditioning in the room was old and didn't cool the room evenly. This affected our comfort and sleep. No in room coffee was a bummer.

No desk to work from. The ventilation/air condition was on full blast. The staff would not move me to a different room. I tried to work on the outdoor area on the roof, was pushed out of the way by a huge party. Never going back again.
