Fantastic amenities and service

central location rooftop spot laundry service
The location is central, with convenient access to bus and subway stations. The rooftop was a great spot in the morning. I washed all my laundry in the basement and hung it to dry in my room. Complimentary coffee drinks on the ninth floor was a nice touch.
The room lacked sufficient storage space for luggage. There was a small amount of storage beneath the bed and a tiny closet.
