It was a good play to stay for a night or two

Hotel is located in the heart of Manhattan. The rooftop bar has lovely views!

-
Best artsy vibe hotel in NYC
-
Nice room. Great location.
-
Cool hotel. Neither funky nor fancy yet gives off the vibe of both. Shockingly "spacious" room by NYC standards. I've stayed in more expensive hotels in glorified closets with a view of an air shaft. Bars on the premises with pretty good drinks if you're too tired or lazy to venture out. And there's proper NY pizza (Patsy's) through the lobby. But great location, convenient to great neighborhoods, downtown and up. So you'll want to get out and about.

Nice stay. Friendly staff. The elevator at times was hard to go down. Numerous people had similar struggles as myself. Minor issue for sure. I would stay here again.
-
Truly incredible. 10/10
-
The hotel and the staff were amazing!! The bars were sadly lacking..tried twice for the rooftop then gave up
-
Rooms weren't anything fancy and some of the art was a little odd, but totally comfortable and clean. Staff was great, 11/10 for friendliness. We were delayed on the way in and they refunded us for that night which was also much appreciated.

Very good

Poor choice. Duct tape on the windows. Tiny. Dark.
-
Convenient location, relaxed rooms and atmosphere, nice room cleaning crew.
-
The location was great! Nice bar on the second floor. Staff did not communicate with each other - lost items needed to be mentioned several times to several team members.
-
Very nice atmosphere. The only complaint was the bed was a little too hard.
-
Very good
-
Passable
-
Central location, value for money. Small but nice and comfortable room. The hotel also has a small gym and bars/restaurants, which are quite good.
