Needs to up its game just a bit.
Some sort of breakfast would have been nice, but none is offered. Our tub did not drain well, and you'd end up standing in water up to your ankles when you showered. Our room was spacious and clean. Just the above few thing should be tweaked to improve the overall experience.

Great location, nice people
This hotel is in a great location with helpful and friendly staff. We were upgraded to a room with a huge patio. The suite room was larger than most NYC apartments and a solid value.

The hotel offered a fantastic central location for our family trip. We were able to access the subway easily and were always greeted with a smile. It is a little noisy as it is in the center of Manhattan.

Functional, clean and well located property with good service. It lacks conveniences typically available on site in most hotels : restaurant, lounge or newsstand/gift shop but it is an extended stay property with in room kitchen. It certainly suited my needs and would stay at this property again
