The only disappointing factor was that the website did not advertise that the bar on site was closed due to remodeling. It would’ve been nice to know that, especially since we were visiting during a cooler time of year and had to walk in order to find a place to have an evening cocktail. Since that bar was closed, maybe they could’ve comped the price of beers in the hotel room bar, instead of charging eight dollars for a beer out of the fridge. Otherwise, it was a very convenient location to a lot of touristy areas, very close to subway station, and not at all in a dangerous part of the city. The room rates were also very decent. Everything was clean, and staff were able to tend to any of our needs. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed five nights on the 32nd street side of the building. In the middle of every single night and throughout, there was a tremendous amount of street noise. Garbage trucks and construction. Way more than I’ve ever experienced in NYC. The windows are poorly insulated and don’t block out much sound. If you stay, ask for an interior room.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of how small the rooms are! I had a queen standard and only travel with a carry on backpack. I had absolutely no where to put anything! If two people shared this room and you both had suitcases, I literally have no idea where you would put all your stuff. There is only enough room to barely walk around the bed, but you have to close the bathroom door and then shimmy between the “closet” and the bed. Other than that, absolutely great location, easy to get to and from JFK, and the staff were super friendly.

The hotel refused to cancel my reservation during the blizzard. They told me they would cancel it when I called 3 days before I was supposed to arrive, then reneged. The conduct speaks for itself. I will never stay at this hotel.

The room was freezing. Literally freezing. I asked to move and was told I couldn’t despite there being available rooms in all websites including their own. Also they are massively misrepresenting their hotel. They show photos of the bars and a restaurant. None of these exist. It’s appalling. I had to move to a different hotel. I called the GM who didn’t work at weekends and they never called back
