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.

Really really disappointing… great location but the hotel is run down, dirty, terrible service…. The windows offer no sound protection from the streets paint peeling off the walls in the bathroom and the final straw was the air con which only operated on full blast and was incredibly noisy. When we asked for it to be fixed the staff couldn’t have cared less… terrible experience. I will never visit of recommend this hotel to anyone.

Over Price for What it Offer - Money Grab
The hotel is over price for what it offer, the front desk is not as helpful but door and bell personnel are very helpful and friendly. Overall, the hotel does not have integrity the website states that valet parking is included when you booked one bedroom suite. When I get there front desk inform me that it does not include valet. Plus over charge you for parking, they charge me $75 per day, if you park somewhere else its only $25 per day, over charge of $50... The Hotel is all in for money, the hotel has no pool, no restaurant, no lounge and charge you $400 per night.
