Overall the star of this property is the staff! They were phenomenal, all so friendly and very helpful. The hotel was clean and housekeeping was excellent. Enjoyed the breakfast - even though we left before it started several days. Would love if it could have started at 6. The welcome reception is nice but we were rarely back at the hotel in time to take advantage of it. The $30 city fee can be off putting but it is useful at times. Its downfall is if you are going, going, going and you can’t make it back while they are still serving. It is open till 11 so if you have a less packed schedule it would be easier to take advantage of. The rooms aren’t huge but that’s probably typical of NYC. It was a tight fit to get on the side of the bed by the wall. Our room in particular had an electrical outlet that had pulled away from the wall, bathroom door and shower door wouldn’t stay shut, however we were in our room only to sleep so not big issues for us. The rooftop movie thing that is advertised is not free but the area up there is near as is the concept.
