Spacious, comfortable rooms (good for families)
Friendly, welcoming staff
Clean hotel noted by multiple guests
Cons:
Significant noise from nearby nightclub on weekend nights

Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness, but multiple reviews mention rooms not cleaned daily, dirty rooms on arrival, scuffed elevator walls and maintenance issues (broken lamps, standing water). Overall cleanliness is below average due to inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance lapses.
Service
9
Generally very positive: multiple guests describe staff as friendly, welcoming and helpful across stays. A minority reported a high‑handed interaction, but the dominant sentiment supports strong service.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: excellent location near the Hudson/river, close to cruise piers and Midtown attractions; convenient for sightseeing and cruise passengers.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are frequently noted as spacious and comfortable (good for families), with nice views. However, some guests encountered maintenance problems (broken curtains/lamps, no hot water in a room) and occasional cleanliness issues, so overall room quality is solid but not flawless.
Amenities
8.4
Rooftop repeatedly highlighted as a major plus and a distinctive amenity. Limited in‑room amenities were noted (no in‑room coffee machine, no complimentary water, rooftop access restrictions reported by one family), so amenities are strong but with some gaps.
Value for Money
6.8
Mixed to negative: several guests felt the hotel was overpriced for the issues experienced (maintenance, noise, extra costs for small water). Others considered it reasonable for NYC prices. On balance value is below the target rating.
Food and Beverage
7.9
Few comments overall. One review mentions on‑site restaurants as convenient; no strong consensus on F&B quality, so neutral/target rating applied.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall stay is generally positive for many guests: comfortable, good location, great rooftop views and friendly staff. Recurrent negatives (nightclub noise on weekend nights, intermittent housekeeping and maintenance problems) lower the experience for some visitors but do not dominate most reviews.

Very uncomfortable and not close to things at all
Pros:

The staff was nice. The room was large

Cons:

The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve had.
I booked a room with a view-the view was looking into the windows of the apartment building across the street.
The location was awful-15-20 minute walk to the closest subway. 20 minute walk to Times Square. I could’ve stayed directly in Times Square for this price.
The bathroom situation was awkward. There is no reason the room to the toilet should be a shower door you can see through. And be sure if you stay with someone you’re comfortable with them watching you shower.
No fridge in the room but for the stuff you pay for. And they didn’t even have the $9 water cold.

Muito Boa
Pros:

Da vista e da localização próxima a serviços de transporte público e pontos turísticos, que podem ser aceessos caminhando.

Cons:

Nas redondezas do hotel existem pessoas agromeradas usando drogas, e parecem também estar vendendo. Também na região do cais, ficam usuarios de drogas, prostituição e moradores de rua. Mas tudo isso não cacontece em frente ao hotel, mas sim nas ruas de trás proximas a região portuária.

Foi excelente!
Pros:

Localização fora da area de barulho e movimento, com estação de metro localizada a 2 quadras.
Junto da margem do rio, onde se pode caminhar, correr e fazer atividades ao ar livre.
Quarto amplo e confortável. Inicialmente ficamos no 10 andar, de onde ainda era audivel som dos carros da rua e da boate proxima. Depois ficamos em outro quarto no 15 andar, com uma vista maravilhosa e absolutamente silencioso.
Funcionários educados; guarda de bagagem; auxilio para transfer para o aeroporto.

Cons:

O acesso ao rooftop não é facilitado para os hóspedes, nem mesmo para visitar o local e curtir a vista. Entendemos que o acesso ao restaurante deve ser feito mediante reserva, mas um dos atrativos do hotel fica inacessivel aos hospedes.
Sugiro uma maquina de cafe expresso disponivel para os hospedes nos quartos.

Spacious room & the view
Pros:

The main thing I like about the room is the space. If you want to be comfortable in your room, this hotel should definitely be on your wish list. The view was nice, even though our room faced uptown.

Cons:

The price is certainly a factor. Paying more than $500 for a night is absurd, but it seems to be a general problem throughout New York.

Pas niveau des prestations annoncées
Cons:

Un rooftop mis en avant sur le site mis une fois là bas les enfants n’y ont pas accès ! Honteux
Le personnel qui s’est occupé de nous sur ce sujet a été très hautain et médisant
Très bruyant, une boîte de nuit juste en dessous .
La chambre n’a pas été faite tous les jours
