I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were small but adequate, not quite matching the online pictures; however, they were very clean with a nice bathroom. The service was a bit hit or miss, lacking in customer relations training for some staff members, but others were helpful and accommodating. The location was excellent, close to key sites, but lacked ambiance. The dining was sufficient, catering to basic needs and offering an unexpected bonus with decent coffee. Overall, good value for the room price but could use improvements in various areas.

The hotel offers reasonably-sized rooms, albeit slightly overpriced considering the amenities. The rooms, while not excessively small compared to other options in NYC, may benefit from better lighting. Booking a non-smoking room was a positive. The service was adequate but could use improvement towards professionalism, particularly with one employee. The location is convenient for exploring mid-town and other parts of Manhattan, with easy access to the subway. Cleanliness could be better, given reports of dirty tables and food on the floor. The breakfast, though in a small room beside the laundry area, provided a good 'serve yourself' spread. The facilities are decent but the cable TV in one of the rooms did not function properly.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms, although not what I expected, were always clean and ready for a good night's sleep.

The hotel is located in a peaceful zone, close to a bus stop or subway station, with adorable styled rooms that are a little on the small side.

I was thrilled with the stunning views of the Chrysler Tower and Empire State Building from my room. The fact that the rooms were not carpeted, making them cleaner and more pleasant, especially for allergy sufferers like myself, was a big plus. However, the room needed some maintenance work, and the lack of food options was a downside during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was always clean and ready which ensured a peaceful sleep after a night out, but the noisy building site outside the window disrupted the tranquility.
