I used to love this hotel. Its rundown, amenities are lacking, no F&B, handed water at checkin. Elevator let me out in back service area. It’s sad since it was taken over by Sonesta.

Unwelcoming Experience Overshadowed My Stay
I recently stayed at [Hotel Name], and from the very start, my experience was uncomfortable. When I arrived, the front desk staff, Vanessa, asked, "Which guest are you here to visit?"—despite the fact that I was a guest with a reservation. It was a demeaning and demoralizing question, making me feel unwelcome from the moment I stepped into the hotel. Throughout my stay, I couldn't shake that initial uncomfortable feeling, which impacted my ability to enjoy my time at the hotel. The room itself was clean, but the view was of nearby apartment buildings, which didn't add much to the experience. There was also no guide for the TV channels in the room, so I had no idea what was available. To make things worse, when I tried to watch a movie on demand, the system didn’t work. Although a tech came to assist, his efforts were unsuccessful, leaving me without that option. Overall, despite the cleanliness of the room, the poor customer service and technical issues left me feeling uncomfortable and unsatisfied throughout my stay. I hope the hotel addresses these issues for future guests.

I was not sure how the hotel would be. The staff were very inviting and kind. We had a room on the 11th floor corner. It was a comfortable room with a kitchen area that had a good size refrigerator that could fit a large pizza box. The rate seemed ok considering it was midtown Manhattan. The location was very convenient to the subway, pharmacy and food courts.

This hotel is a bit tired. One of the elevators didn't work, so the one that worked had extra load. Room cleanness was fine except didn't look like carpet had been vacuumed. Check-in staff was very pleasant but the hotel charges a ridiculous so-called "hotel facilities" fee adding up to almost $50/night on top of what is claimed to be the cost of the room and room tax.
