This place is a true boutique style hotel. The staff is incredible and the location is out of this world.

Do not book through Hotels.com because they (or the hotel) WILL NOT honor their price guarantee of "what you see is what you pay". This facility DOES include a $39 per night hotel fee and it WAS included in the amount charged and was also on my Hotels.com reservation confirmation---that is not in dispute. I read the fine print...no problem. The fees and taxes were included on my CONFIRMATION I received from Hotels.com. But because I chose to pay AT the hotel instead of through hotels.com beforehand, they decided to charge more than I booked for for the base nightly rate at check in. The nightly rate charged basically doubled their hotel fee...the nightly rate that was charged was increased conveniently by $39 per night AND they separately charged $39 per night fee which resulted in an overall nightly room rate of $283. You can book with them direct right NOW for a lesser nightly fee for the same room, so it's extremely deceptive (and their daily hotel fee if you book direct is $29 per night not $39 or even $78 as charged-not even what they told hotels.com!!!). Let me tell you...for that nightly rate, this hotel is NOT worth it. Their hotel is "tired". Mold stains in bathroom shower and around the tub, dirty grout, there was a dip in the floor where the vinyl plank flooring is coming undone and I almost cut my toe on it twice. There are no kleenex and the toilet paper is from Amazon and it's like sandpaper. Also, bring ear plugs for road noise.

The hotel is an easy 2 minute walk to the subway, and is in a great location away from the hustle and bustle of midtown, which I appreciate. The room is the largest I have ever stayed in in NYC, and is quiet for a good night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable and had all the amenities I needed. Very friendly staff who checked in on my via text every day. Great value for the price and I would definitely stay again!

Easy check in and very considerate interactions throughout the stay. The rooms was beautiful, clean, and a great place to relax from the city bustle.
