Booked last minute for a work trip and was pleasantly surprised with staff! I wasn’t feeling well and showed up to the hotel rather early, explained my situation and without a doubt the gentleman at reception helped me out and gave me a room as soon as it became available. The cafe downstairs has delicious drinks, and room was clean! Will def be booking here again

I really enjoyed my stay here at the merchant. Such a great location with an amazing view. Check in and check out were a breeze. I loved how clean the bathrooms were and the room itself. Andrea really made everything so easy for our stay anytime I needed something she was there. Super polite staff and had a nice small cafe in the lobby. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be back for that Empire State Building view
