Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Just steps away from Lincoln Center. We stayed to see our son's MET Opera debut. Very helpful staff. Property looks a little tired. Glad to see the rooftop lounge reopened, but the lobby bar area is not.

3/5 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
First and foremost it was very clean, which is by far my priority. Beyond that, everything felt VERY dark and closed in. Granted this is New York so I don't expect a large room (and it was in fact tiny), and that's fine, but between the very dark color scheme, lack of view (my room looked into an air shaft) tight corridors/small spaces and no adequate lighting anywhere outside of the lobby, it felt extremely closed in and dark. I did my makeup basically in the dark the whole time I was there. Staff was courteous and attentive, lobby was beautiful. Also my AC unit was so loud I had to alternate between having it on and laying in bed awake, and then getting sleep in small periods when I turned it off, before suffocating and turning it back on again and being awake. Not a restful stay.
