This is a perfect little room for a night or two in the city. Everything is clean and comfortable. Great location downtown. Make sure to grab a bagel and a coffee at Russ & Daughter one block away!

Great spot if you need an overnight or quick weekend stay. We stayed for a wedding weekend and it was perfect. If you’re looking for room service, restaurants and spas, this isn’t the hotel for you to stay.

The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We were able to store our luggage and within an hour our room was ready. We enjoyed the rooftop deck as it had great views of New York City. The room was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely book this property again.

The hotel was as advertised and quite clean with good bedding. It is a small venue but that was expected. The rooftop is fun, although the weather kept us away for most of our stay. The codes all worked and access was easy. Good value.
