Great central location. Rooms were very small but I think that’s a NYC thing. Cleaning staff was excellent and decor was cute. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The downside was that the water pipes were very loud at night. Beds were very comfortable in our entire party slept well. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Not quiet from a street side room but maybe that’s the NYC charm. Beautiful old building. Besides the street noise, very comfortable. Dining room opening soon.

We loved the staff. They were friendly and willing to help us in every way. The hotel was very close to many things we wanted to see and access to a bus or subway was great. The rooms are older but had everything we needed. The beds were super soft and comfy.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean, cozy and there was great quality mattress/pillows/towels etc. This hotel is near many famous landmarks and is very walkable but does not feel busy on the street. The area was safe, convenient, there was plenty of food and it was easy to get to LGA for our flight. The breakfast/coffee shop inside was great and when the restaurant opens I can imagine it will be excellent. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The hotel was very quiet at night, with no street traffic/outside noise.
