4/5 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely lobby with wood panelling and nicely decorated, but small, room. It was called cozy and was entirely adequate. Missing a glass for water in the room. Restaurant looked good but I opted for bar snacks. Both bars fairly loud. Great service at the bar on the mezzanine.

The staff were so polite and really provided an excellent level of customer service. The room was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job refreshing the space each day. While I booked a queen bed on Expedia, I arrived to find that my room only had a single bed. I was disappointed, as I would have appreciated having the larger bed that I had booked and paid for. The single pillow was really flat, but the staff did send a second pillow when I requested one.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This was a great location, and our child enjoyed the lofted bunkbed space. However, it was extremely loud. We could hear everything, from the hallway to the street. The TV didn't fully work, and there was a moldy smell in the bathroom.

This is one of the trendy hotels in NYC. Unfortunately, trendy means small and expensive. We paid for a queen "upgraded" room, but two of us could not pass each other anywhere in the room without acrobatics. The pics make the room look twice as big as it is. My side of the bed had a support beam pushed against the frame and you were not getting by it. The only place we could open the suitcase was laying on top of the bed which is where we had to sit. The sink was the smallest I've ever seen. However, the elevators worked and the staff was terrific !
