Fairly good
We truly enjoyed our stay. The room is typical New York which was very small, I also didn’t like how the sink was outside the bathroom. Weird, but we made it work. We stayed on a high floor (16) and the view was amazing. The environment and atmosphere is beautiful. The food was good as well. In all, I will stay again however maybe in bigger room if possible.

Lackluster
The room had a lot of quirks. Light switches were difficult to operate. The switch on the mirror fell off repeatedly. The TV didn’t work correctly. Made it feel like I was definitely overpaying. Additionally hotel staff were not as friendly as they had been on previous visits. Feels like the hotel is going downhill.

Our frequent visit hotel!!
Fantastic as always! Have stayed here 11 times in 2 years—close to everything including a discounted parking garage. The location next to the subway is also a bonus!
The rooms are a little small but they are clean and utilitarian. For us, location and cleanliness are the most important factors.
The rooftop bar is spectacular! And so is the lobby bar!

Very mid
While the design of the hotel is lovely and the staff that I interacted with were very lovely, the hotel doesn’t feel like a four star experience. I complained on the first evening but had to complain again to get any resolution or even a reply. The manager was helpful but not until my third day of a five day trip. I wish the mini bar was stocked. Also That my towels didn’t have stains. When you book a room with a pull out couch you should also be asked if you need bedding and then supplied proper bedding- we never got a duvet for the pull out couch but by the time someone was finally attentive my assistant was leaving and I no longer was using the bed. The manager did make up for It but it’s unfortunately too late. The worse part is the cafe. The food is horrible and extremely expensive. Save your money and your stomach and just walk to a cafe or whole foods for a snack.

Mediocre at best
Overall the stay was ok, the staff were not overly catering or kind. We had always wanted to stay at this hotel for a few years, upon checking they gave us “what was left” which was an accessibility room to which we did not select. The accessibility room had hair in the tub and no door to the washroom… all for $700 for the night. For the price there are more luxurious places to stay. There was no management available to speak too either.
