Nothing fancy but excellent value
Pros:

Convenient location, good atmosphere, reasonably comfortable, responsive and communicative staff.

Cons:

The heating system is located in the ceiling and was noisy at times. Also, I wish that there was a mini-fridge in the room.

Hotel ideal en Nueva York, buena calidad
Pros:

Muy buen hotel para pasar unos días en Nueva York, me ha gustado mucho, las instalaciones son perfectas, la habitación más grande lo esperado, baño completo muy bien equipado y está muy limpio. El personal es muy agradable y atento desde el primer momento, además te facilitan varios vouchers de descuento en su bar para bebidas y desayuno durante la estancia, se agradece el detalle. Me hicieron un up grade sin pedirlo y fue lo mejor, gracias a la chica que me atendió por el detalle. Está cerca de la estación central, lo que facilita muchísimo el transporte por Nueva York, en unos minutos puedes estar en cualquier punto desde la estación y cerca hay muchos restaurantes y cafeterías. Además, guardan tu equipaje sin coste hasta que te vayas. Muy contenta en todos los aspectos con este hotel. Recomiendo al 100%
