Amazing hotel for solo travel, clean rooms, fresh towels and room cleaning daily. Located in an amazing area in Murray Hill just blocks away from grand central and major subway lines. Will definitely consider staying here again soon!
Perfect stay! I was upgraded to a queen size bed. Staff was friendly and helpful. On checkout day they also offered luggage hold. I was able to leave my bags and keep exploring the city without hauling it around! Will stay again!
Convenient location for Metro-North /LIRR /4-5-6-7 trains. Spotless room- just very very small. For a short stay it was fine. Friendly, helpful staff. Will stay here again in fact- price cannot be beat.
Clean room, customer service was out of this world-constantly stayed in contact via text before, during, and after stay. Staff was pleasant any time we were coming/going, the bar and restaurant were EXCELLENT. Drinks and food were great. Perfect location that was quiet enough at night to get rest, but quickly get to all the major hot spots in NYC! Also, close to the airport. Loved our stay!
Room was great. Staff was courteous. Location of hotel was excellent for everything that I wanted to do. Only downfall for me was no refrigerator or microwave nor ice machine. Other than that everything was amazing. View was amazing.
