The staff here were great! The rooms are really small and could use more room to hang up your clothes as everything (safe, iron, ironing board) was crammed into a tiny armoire. The location is OK but given the fact that I had 2 small kids I would probably opt to get a little closer to Times Square the next... More

Nothing but good things to say about this place, and I stayed here a full week (Sunday to Sunday - the last week of May 2013). The hotel was just renovated in Feb 2013 so the place is pretty much spotless and new, and very nicely appointed. Excellent location in the middle of a quiet (for NYC) side street just... More

I am a business traveler who really values a solid internet connection when I'm on the road. At one point during the trip, I was so frustrated with trying to work remotely that I wound up at a Starbucks (which sadly wasn't much better).
