We booked the Queen studio, which was really quite spacious for New York standards. Since we travelled with a toddler, the receptionist gave us a quiet room far away from the elevator that was indeed relatively quiet, no noise from the street or downstairs partying (the only noise came from the loud airconditioning). It was nice that the room had its own separate radio, which was easy to switch on and off.

The hotel was clean, and smelled pleasant when you walked into the lobby. The hallways are a bit drab, and could use a bit more artistic touch, like color or murals to liven it up. Even paint the doors differently! Bathroom was nice, cool tile on floor and shower stall, with a cute black and white checkered curtain. Towels were fine, and shower...

The hotel was clean, and smelled pleasant when you walked into the lobby. The hallways are a bit drab, and could use a bit more artistic touch, like color or murals to liven it up. Even paint the doors differently! Bathroom was nice, cool tile on floor and shower stall, with a cute black and white checkered curtain. Towels were fine, and shower power was good. A bit more light about the sink would help with make up application. I feel terrible that I totally forgot to leave the housekeeper a tip, after 3 days of staying there! Room #916, very nice job of taking care of our room. Loved the upstairs rooftop bar, and fun vibe, very convenient and nice, younger crowd. I think overall we enjoyed our stay, great location, cute little coffee shop (their staff was much nicer!) fun upstairs bars, and overall pretty quiet and low key. I would come back again, and hopefully see if any of the rooms are bigger, for what we paid for. Tell the staff to greet the guest with a big smile and welcome, it wouldn't hurt!!
