  • Service: Rating of 3.4 out of 5

    "Pricey for May in New York (2bedrm suite); but you can't be the location; rooms are small but doable; service staff was okay and helpful when pushed; better hotel than many others in NYC." source Travelocity

    "We called to check lost and found but the service desk lady gave us just a little too much attitude about it and told us to check back in the morning. Finally, we couldnÂ’t shut the AC unit off in our room, so a service person had to come up and pull the case off of the unit and manually set the temp control." source Expedia
