地段好，设计好，员工好。
Pros:

地理位置很好。单床套房很舒适，使用方便。行李间和卧室衣柜分开很好。酒店吉祥物系列的创意很好，猫头鹰国王有意思，令人印象深刻。门童和行李员们都很热情敬业，一位戴眼镜个子不高的行李员向我们展示了他手臂上的纹身就是酒店吉祥物猫头鹰，我想他一定很热爱自己的工作。

Cons:

酒店价格不含早餐，餐厅和酒店有分离感，餐厅面向大堂的方向应该有明显的标识，这样会给客人更好的感觉。

conforto, bom custo-benefício e ótima localização!
Pros:

a localização é ótima, próximo da 5th Avenue, de vários restaurantes e cafés e da estação de metro. O staff é simpático e atencioso. Ficamos na suíte com 1 quarto, era muito espaçosa e confortável.

Cons:

o sistema de café da manhã é um pouco confuso. Fizemos a reserva com o café da manhã incluso, porém, ganhamos um voucher de USD 60 por dia para consumo no restaurante do hotel. Éramos um casal, pedimos 2 bebidas e 2 pratos, e sempre tivemos que pagar cerca de 10 dólares extra por dia, pois também tínhamos que pagar a tip para o garçom. Por outro lado, a comida do café da manhã era ótima.
