"Excellent hotel for family stay close to AMNH. Check in a bit stressed with crowded lobby and slightly cranky reception staff (they feel pressure too of the 4pm check in ).

"Great location, great price. Only issue(s) are minor. Wall A/C is loud, so T.V. Volume has to be somewhat high. Another traveler below our room decided to call cops rather than ask the building manager to handle it; but hey… what’s New York without a little crazy. Elevators are old, so a bit small… but better than walking 14 stories!!! Will stay here again next time."
