Okej
Pros:

Läget

Cons:

Bilderna är rejält förskönade mot för verkligheten.
Luftkonditioneringen låter fruktansvärt mycket konstant på grund av att den är så gammal. Hissarna fungerar i princip inte då korten inte känner av kortlåsen i hissarna. Ungefär varannan gång. Reception blev lika förvånad alla 3 gånger vi var dit. Och alla andra hade samma problem. Boende på hotellet fick hjälpa varann att ta sig upp på våningarna.

Great location, stunning lobby decor, comfortable and clean.
Pros:

The lobby decor was breathtaking

Cons:

The way the people in the reception behaved around customers. while I was in the queue, one customer that was little old was complimenting the hotel and his stay, the staff in the reception kept rolling their eyes and looking at each other like they couldn’t stand the situation. I found very rude, their luck is that the old men didn’t noticed it. But as I was on the side, I could see everything and left me with a bad taste in my mouth

Great location and nice bed!
Pros:

I stayed here in 2003 and it sure was a surprise to see the elegant staircase in the lobby gone. But over all it was a great stay

Cons:

Water didn’t work in the first room so they moved me.

I spent no time there other than to sleep which is what i needed.
Pros:

Easy check in and check out. Gentleman in bag storage area during check in and pick up was very nice.

Cons:

Room is beat up. Mattress way too soft- felt like it was a budget mattress you'd buy at a closeout store. The handle of the shower fell off and we had to screw it back in. A commercial/industrial toilet in a hotel room is not what I was expecting. Looks like it could be a toilet in a general restroom area. Tub looks like it needed to be reglazed. I thought it was dirty but it was just chipped, scratched and beat up. Satellite television signal was not working and could not watch tv. Only one side of the bed had an outlet for a phone or electricity. Seemed odd. The doors to elevators and hallways seemed highly scuffed and beat up. The entire hotel seemed tired. Could use a good deep clean and paint touch ups. The elevators would not register the floor with our key card and multiple people said they had the same issues. 4 of us in one elevator tried to get to the 10th floor with our key cards. Took about 3-4 minutes to get the elevator to finally accept our floor choice. One lady said she was told at the front desk that they elevators was having a problem with recognizing the 10th floor as a choice. Rope lighting in lobby was neat but a few "ropes" were not lit. The hallways were very dark and I feel it is to conceal the tired and dirty carpet and scuffed walls. Staff was pleasant enough but definitely seemed tired and over dealing with tourists.

Great location and adorable hotel
Pros:

The hotel was adorable and conveniently located to everything! The staff were extremely pleasant. There is a great bar in the lobby and a super cute French cafe attached to the hotel.

Cons:

The room was small but that’s to be expected for a NYC hotel room.

It was alright for a night, but would not book again. Super nice staff though!
Pros:

- The Lobby is super nice
- Great location as it‘s close to Times Square
- The employees are super nice and insanely helpful!

Cons:

- The single room was tiny and not as nice! I expected more for the price and with how the lobby looked.
- The AC unit is on the outside of the window and obnoxiously loud.
- The walls and doors are paperthin, I could hear every single noise outside of my door.
- The view is to the back of the house and into the next hotel room.

I enjoyed my stay, I just wished it had more amenities.
Pros:

It was close to shopping area, theatres, places to eat, and the subways

Cons:

It needs to have a refrigerator and microwave and wash cloths.
