Great place!
Pros:

The Gatsby was perfect for what we needed to attend NYU graduation ceremonies. Relatively close to NYU, close to transportation, and Whole Foods! The room was sufficient for our needs, and it was clean and we had a pretty good view too.

I will not stay there again.
Pros:

The location was fine.

Cons:

Well it’s a very basic room and a bed in it. They didn’t even have enough furniture for me to put my suitcase on. You can’t call the front desk from your room. It felt like I was in a prison or something. Not pretty at all.

It was great.
Pros:

The location was great. There was lots of grocery stores and coffee shops around and if you enjoy New York without the hustle and bustle of Times Square, this is perfect.

Cons:

Don’t really have a lot of complaints as the staff was kind and accommodating and their rooms were what you would expect for New York City. What I did not like was our personable belongings were not cared for in a manner which I would expect. We did have an area we could put our belongings, however, it was not secure, and people were going in and out of it consistently without the watchful eye of front desk.

Hot water requires patience
Pros:

I liked how convenient the location of the hotel was

Cons:

I think its ironic that the hotel would put a sign in the bathroom about how they care about the environment and want to save water. Meanwhile, to get the sink or shower to run hot water, I was told that you had to leave the sink running for 10 min. I'm not kidding, it seriously took 10 min of the water running to get hot water. I don't understand how its possible for a hotel water system to be so messed up that thats the system to get a hot shower.

Also, its really hard to stay on the first floor of this hotel when the night desk person listen to TV on full blast
