Great location but cleaning needs improvement

The hotel amenities are great and frankly it is amazing to stay in such a historic location. But this hotel has had a cleaning problem since I first stayed here about two years ago and it has not improved! Either they don’t come by to do the job (when I complained some smart lady at the reception told me that I had to “schedule” the cleaning) or when they come to clean it is not!!! Aside from that all was great!

Difficult to check in because of very loud music from Victoria. Room (especially floor) could have been cleaner. Except for these issues, hotel is conveniently located near Columbia University, well decorated and maintained. I would stay again.

Once inside it’s great.

The inside of the hotel was great. Getting inside the hotel was the issue. There were many on the street that were under the influence of a substance and large groups forming around the entrance as we removed our luggage.

The best hotel ever

My stay was amazing to say the least! Everything was perfect. The view from the room, the service, cleanliness, and the food were all perfect. The best hotel I’ve stayed at so far and I will be back!

While the check-in process was pleasant, there were several service challenges during our stay. We were not informed of the hotel’s cleaning policy at check-in, and only upon our third request for simple items like coffee and coffee cups were we told that standard cleaning is provided every third day unless requested otherwise. Despite this, the bed was made, and towels were replaced daily without our request, while other basic services—such as trash removal and coffee replenishment—were inconsistent and required follow-up. Additionally, during our second request for coffee cups, we were provided with clear plastic cups that melted when coffee was dispensed, making them unusable. Experiences like this, combined with the inconsistent communication around services, left us feeling frustrated and underserved. We also noticed that interactions with staff were less attentive compared to what we observed with other guests. As two white gay men, this left us wondering whether implicit or explicit bias may have played a role in the level of service we received. We understand the complexities of managing hotel operations, and we appreciate the efforts made to accommodate all guests.

Loved our stay

We truly enjoyed this hotel. The concierge in the lobby was so friendly and told us a little about the history of the building which we found very interesting. The room king room was spacious and quiet, the bar was hopping, we loved the live music.
