Fantastic Location and Comfortable Stay

clean room comfortable bed prime location

My room was very clean. The bed felt comfortable. I appreciated the Diptyque bath products provided. The vintage elevator was a pleasant surprise and worked well, it maintained its historic charm. I really valued the hotel's great location. There were many restaurants and cafes nearby. Union Square and Chinatown were each just a short walk away.

The walls are somewhat thin, I occasionally heard noises from the corridor.

a generally positive stay

early check-in air conditioning early arrival broken elevator rude staff damaged elevator

i arrived early after a long flight. they allowed me to check in almost 3 hours early because my room was ready. this was great and MUCH appreciated. the aircon worked wonderfully and kept the room at a comfortable temperature.

the elevator was not working . i was not informed about this until AFTER i checked in and was heading to the fifth floor. the daytime desk staff acted like the presence of guests was a major nuisance to them. it really put a damper on the stay.

Perfect Stay!

convenient location friendly staff useful fridge

The location was ideal! The staff was very friendly and helpful . My room had a fridge. That was very convenient. The pillows were definitely better than most hotels. I believe they contained feather and down.

My room needed a bit more attention to cleaning. I saw a toothpaste mark on the bathroom mirror that wasn't cleaned .
