Good Find Near Broadway

Pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Check in was a breeze. Elevators are tiny, but there are three. Room was spacious for an NYC room - which I measure by can you walk along the foot of the bed with plenty of room. Bed was comfortable. Linens smelled really nice. I was worried about being cold in February but was not. Decent space for clothes to hang, suitcase, toiletries, and just my junk on the nightstand. Bathroom was not large but was enough. Shower head was weird - either this really hard spray or a delicate "rain" that I didn't feel rinsed the soap. Bath wash, shampoo AND conditioner, and lotion provided. Ice and water from a machine on the 2nd floor but nothing to put them in - bring your own receptacle. Perfect location for Broadway shows. I will stay here again. A diamond in the rough.

Highly recommended

Excellent overnight stay. The room was clean, with excellent environmental options. Excellent Coffee. Comfortable, and the in room soaps etc were very good quality. The staff helped me find a place to have a late night bite, even giving me a voucher for a complimentary glass of wine. Nice touch. Also, parking right next door. Highly reccomended!! And the price was very fair

Nice stay in a convenient location

The concierge was super nice and welcoming. The room seemed neat and clean. The bathroom tile seemed a little dirty in the cracks. The TV channels were weird- some of the channels listed on the guide didn’t exist? Overall- recommend it. Convenient for Broadway shows.

Location was great and the room was clean and comfortable. I had two rooms, one for myself and one for my brother. His room was on the front of the hotel and it was so noisy, he could not sleep. My advice is to avoid those rooms on the front of the hotel.

What a find! This hotel was so conveniently located we could walk to everything. The bathroom was nice, the beds were super comfortable, and the room was quiet. Plus a great moderately priced French restaurant across the street. Definitely my new Hotel in New York.
