Hôtel moderne et calme, chambres spacieuses et propres, emplacement idéal
Pros:

Très bon emplacement, chambres modernes, confortables, propres et de très belle taille. Petit déjeuner standard mais en bonne quantité; parking trop cher en revanche

Cons:

Nous avons eu besoin d'imprimer un document très urgent et le business center était absolument pas performant: pas de réseau, impossible de se connecter sur nos boites mail sans être éjectés car connexion trop lente, encore plus difficile d'imprimer: nous n'y sommes jamais arrivé. La personne de la réception n'a pas accepté que nous lui envoyions le document pour qu'elle l'imprime

Not satisfied. Staff was rude when requested extra blanket more than 1 per room. Sink flooded with disgusting black wate
Pros:

Close to broadway

Cons:

Sink stated to flood with black water in the morning. Didn’t receive extra blankets, only one per room. Other hotels never have this restrictions.

Too expensive, definitely be looking at something more inexpensive next year.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Having to check out at 11 AM, for the price… That’s not fair… It’s so expensive, it’s too expensive for the short amount of time you get to stay in the room.
