"Room was small but clean and you have your own bathroom. I think it is what it is. But there was 100. resort fee. That I was not to happy about. This is not a resort. Gives upscale and it was a vibe. Close to time square and train station. Staff was helpful."

"Front desk staff was kind enough to check me in early (11am) with a room on the 3rd floor. Rooms were very clean and relatively well appointed. I booked a room with a toilet/shower and everything was very clean. Plenty of clean towels and soap/shampoo. Felt floor was a bit gritty and could’ve done with a good sweep but it didn’t affect stay. AC was loud and kept the room sufficiently cool but not cold (>32C/90F outside). Walls a bit thin and closing doors and people talking outside was audible from room. However guests were pretty good and quiet at the right times. Only concern I had was that windows could not be locked. However, room comes with a small wall safe."
