Enjoy the hotel accommodations, established, friendly, and helpful. The history of the building is really cool. It’s kind of tucked away just far enough from Times Square but just close enough to everything else.

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel! The room was perfect, bigger than we expected, clean, stylish, and comfortable. We would definitely choose this place again! It was centrally located. We could walk down 5th Ave, to Time Square, Penn Station, and the subway. The staff was kind, reassuring, and made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. Great place to stay!
We had a lot more space for our luggage than expected!
The bathroom was clean and stylish.
Great toiletries too!
We felt very comfortable here!
