Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location and cleanliness, but many expressed concerns about the small room sizes and outdated facilities. While some enjoyed the retro feel and modern updates, others felt the hotel did not meet the standards of a 4-star establishment. Overall, it seems to be a decent choice for those prioritizing location over room comfort.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) This is a nice hotel with great restaurants and shopping close by. The room was really nice: no drapes and no carpet - a plus!!! The room was very clean and roomy. The bed was the most comfortable ever! I recommend this hotel and I’ll stay here again.
Cons (-) The ac/heat was very loud, perhaps it needs an update.
Pros (+) It’s pretty, loved the design work- especially the lights in the bathroom
Cons (-) Online it said that the hotel offered a 24r airport shuttle and free late check out- these were both 2 big selling points for me. We were traveling from Italy and stopping in Paris one last night before flying back out to head home to the USA. We called before arriving in Paris to arrange for the shuttle and was told that wasn’t actually a service provided and were offered apologies.... so we took...

Pros (+) The bathroom was large and functional. The staff was pleasant. The WiFi (eventually) worked.
Cons (-) The room was on the second floor and the "windows" had an opaque film over them. When I peeked around the edge of the film, it showed what appeared to be some infrastructural steel beams within a foot or so from the window and behind that a storage area for janitorial or maintenance equipment. Pretty oppressive. And the air conditioning unit made a great racket, but never seemed to blow out cool a...

Pros (+) Great potential, overall a very good place to stay in midtown. Great potential when renovation is done.
Cons (-) Bathrooms could be cleaner
Pros (+) They provided a complimentary happy hour and breakfast. The bed was comfortable. The shower was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.
Cons (-) Construction in the lobby, which I couldn't hear but it was slightly unsightly and cramped as things were walled off and the reception desk was pushed back. But honestly that was it.
Pros (+) People are nice I like the location
Cons (-) I was charged twice
Pros (+) Centrally located in Herald Square, this hotel is perfect for a visit to New York City. We had a renovated queen room, and though it was small (all hotels are in the city), it was well decorated and incredibly clean, comfortable, and quiet. Romantic lighting, flat screen TV, good sized fullly-equipped bathroom with tub, comfortable bed with plush white comforter, black out shade on the window, air...

Pros (+) Staff was very helpful and friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the location was great walking distance to subway stations.
Cons (-) The bathroom toilet didn't flush properly without holding down the handle, very dated and no towel tracks.
Pros (+) Perfect location. Close to all the attractions and the stations.
Cons (-) Staff at the front desk were rude. All you get is an one word answer from the receptionist. Complimentary WiFi was not working at all. They did not have an answer when asked about it. Rooms were very small. Will never choose this hotel again
