We were more than satisfied with the hotel and enjoyed a peaceful 5 a peaceful stay in this hotel .
Pros:

The location was great in terms of getting around Manhatten .. it was situated in a quiet street . The two double bedded room were stayed in had everything we needed for the 5 days we were there. The beds were changed every day we were there .. The room and bathroom were clean and well equipped with toiletries . I liked that the hotel took notice of our request in terms of where we would like to be positioned in the hotel ... so we were able to enjoy a peaceful 5 night stay with no intrusive noise from other people staying in hotel or from hotel workers .
I liked that the breakfast was included in the price and I found the breakfast delivered a wide range of foods that more than satisfied our needs . They also varied the fresh fruit and hot food from day to day . I liked that coffee and tea was available throughout the day as were bottles of water . Reception staff were friendly and helpful . When both lifts were working there was never any long waits for the lift to get to and from your room . A surprisingly pleasant 5 day stay in a New York hotel.

Cons:

The breakfast area was not huge therefore there was always the possibility of you not being able to find a seat at busier times .... there was a a larger seating area outside but as we were there in the winter months the only option was to sit inside . However, it has to be said every morning we were able to easily find a seat and eat our breakfast in comfort.
Unfortunately one of the lifts broke down for a few days which slowed down travel time to and from room which was inconvenient for some guests who had a lot of luggage and could not use stairs .... but this was not really a problem for us as we were fit and could use the stairs ..... the lift was scheduled to be fixed .

Pros:

Me gustó que cuando llegué me atendieron en español y el trato del personal fue muy cordial.
Investigando de hospedajes en otros lugares de NYC decían que el tamaño de la habitación era muy pequeño, pero mi habitación en este hotel tenía suficiente espacio.

Buena ubicación pero un desastre
Pros:

Ubicación muy buena

Cons:

Las fotos están muy lejos de la realidad, el desayuno ni se asemeja a lo que ofrecen. El El comedor es claramente demasiado pequeño para la cantidad de huéspedes que tiene el hotel. Es prácticamente imposible encontrar sitio sin agobios y resulta muy incómodo.

El problema más grave, sin duda, son los ascensores: casi nunca funcionan correctamente. Para bajar al lobby había que esperar fácilmente 15 minutos o más. En varias ocasiones tuvimos que subir y bajar por las escaleras, incluso el día de nuestra salida, cargando con las maletas desde la planta 8, después de más de 20 minutos esperando. Uno de los ascensores estaba averiado y en el otro nunca había espacio suficiente. Es inaceptable en un hotel de estas características.

El personal es muy agradable y atento, pero el estado y la organización del hotel dejan mucho que desear. Una noche, por ejemplo, nos encontramos manchas amarillas en las sábanas y tuvimos que avisar a recepción para que nos las cambiaran. Además, éramos tres personas en la habitación y los últimos días solo nos dejaban dos toallas.

Por otro lado, el espacio de la habitación es totalmente insuficiente si se reserva para 3 o 4 personas. Apenas podíamos movernos, no había sitio para dejar las maletas ni para organizar la ropa. Las fotos no reflejan la realidad: parecen habitaciones mucho más amplias de lo que realmente son.

Sinceramente, la experiencia ha sido muy decepcionante.

Fabuloso
Pros:

Me gusto que incluia el desayuno el cual tenia variaciones cada dia, caliente y a tiempo. Las mesas se llenan pero inmediatamente se desocupan y estan disponibles para sentarse y poder disfrutar de un delicioso desayuno. Esta en Manhattan y cerca a todo, se ahorra mucho en costo de trenes porque caminando se llega a la mayoria de lugares turisticos.

Cons:

Algo que no me gusto al inicio es que me ubicaron en un piso inferior, la vista al patio era un poco pequeña, pense que la vista al patio que ofrecia el hotel se daba desde un piso alto. Pero igual disfrute mucho la habitación.

Aceptable.
Pros:

La localización

Cons:

El funcionamiento. Solo dos ascensores para mucha gente, y uno de ellos casi todos los días averiado.

La zona de desayunos demasiado pequeña. Casi tienes que pegarte por una mesa para desayunar. No hay un espacio común cómodo para estar con tu familia.

Pros:

El personal era muy amistoso. El desayuno era abundante y por una ventana larga de tiempo. El hotel está bien ubicado, cerca de una estación de metro que tiene conexión de buses y trenes.

Cons:

Lamentablemente, hubieron muchos problemas con los ascensores. Ya habíamos leído eso en revisiones anteriores y fue cierto. Habían 2 ascensores, y uno se echó a perder la mitad del tiempo. A ciertas horas, se hacía fila para poder subir y bajar a la habitación.

Pros:

Breakfast nice location brilliant room very clean and comfortable bed

Cons:

we could have been told there was a problem with one of the lifts and were waiting for a replacement part to repair it. I had a room next to the lift and the noise each time it was used was very loud

Pros:

Bon emplacement

Cons:

Très déçu par ce séjour. Ascenseur en panne à plusieurs reprises, travaux à notre étage avec début du chantier à 8h sans aucune information, chambre inaccessible nous obligeant à monter un étage à pied. Aucun papier toilette le dernier jour et aucune proposition de dédommagement. Inacceptable au vu du tarif de la nuitée.

Pros:

Lokalizacja, dostęp całodobowy do herbaty/ kawy/ wody/ lodu.

Cons:

Śniadania z cateringu, jedzenie w określonym czasie, ale generalnie można było znaleźć coś dla siebie. Winda działała wolno i w czasie naszego pobytu była jedna na 15 pieter.

Absolutely horrible!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Room dirty and very small. Also found a needle in my room. Staff unprofessional and disrespectful. Elevators were broken the whole stay. I was told my room came with fridge and microwave (called days before to make sure) when I arrived my room did not have either, never got them even after requesting multiple times. The hotel is very loud, walls super thin! Do not stay here!! Paid over $1000 for 4 nights, completely unacceptable.
