This hotel is a great option to stay in New York! The hotel is close to the metro station and in 15/20 minutes you can reach the 5th ave and the main attractions. The rooms are spacious and soundproofed and we had an enjoyable view of the city. You can also have a nice breakfast/dinner at nice matin which is attached to the hotel. But you have also plenty of options nearby.

Disappointed in the deluxe room. Over priced for what I received in the room. The deluxe room consisted of a bed, dresser, nightstand, desk. No table and chairs to sit and have a meal. Guess I expected more for the over priced room.

My room had space! In NYC this seems rare. Besides being spacious, my room had a view of the neighborhood and was clean. Everyone I spoke to at this hotel was friendly and helpful, including other guests! It was an easy walk to different subway lines.

Lovely hotel in great location. Staff very polite and efficient. We had a fantastic room, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and spacious for a family of four. Subway stop only across the street and we navigated the stops easily. The hotel is situated in a lovely neighbourhood with lots of restaurants nearby. Will definitely return to stay here again.

We were here over night with our two young children. It was surprisingly quiet for the city. A small but clean and lovely hotel. Very nice staff. Also, we keep kosher and it was walkable to many restaurants, and a short subway trip to even more.
