A week in New York City

We stayed in two different rooms with the first on Broadway side. Street noise at night made sleeping difficult at best. Second room was on 55th St. side and noise was less, but double pane windows did not stop much of it. If you want undisturbed sleep, ask for an inside room--we should have. Creaky uneven floors with thin carpet made the otherwise clean room feel it should have been better than it was.

New York travel information office is on west side of Sixth Ave. below 53rd St. and has maps, access to discounted show tickets (40%, not 50% at TKTS, but you avoid long lines) and other good information from helpful multi-lingual staff.

Good location, clean, style that may not appeal to all

Hotel is in a good location. Right next to a subway entrance for the 57th street station, 8 walkable blocks from Times Square and 4 blocks from Central Park. Room was clean but a little cramped (normal for New York). The hotel has an artistic style that may not appeal to some. Parking was very reasonably priced compared to other hotels and was in a garage just down the street. Staff was friendly and attentive for us.

Love this hotel!

It was nice to stay in a hotel that was unique and well kept. It was in walking distance to everything but wasnt in the heart of all the congestion in Times Square which was nice. Very comfortable. Staff was welcoming and always helpful. Would go back again.

Rooms more cramped than I'd hoped for

I checked in late, and they didn't have a lot of rooms left, but my room ended up being really small the first night, with a window looking out onto a wall. The second night they moved me to a bigger room, but I again had a window looking out onto a wall. I don't know how representative that is of the other rooms in the hotel.

Small but uniquely different

I found the hotel be perfectly placed! Near tTimes Square & Broadway! I had a amazing time! We honestly only slept in the hotel when we did mingle there was alot of drunk young adults! Alot didnt look older than 18. The rooms are very small!! But the blue lights are intriguing. I think its a nice hotel for a weekend getaway but I would stay at a hotel with more space next time.

Dream come true

Ideal hotel - ideal location, prefect for our adventure to the Big Apple, tbh we didn't really spend that much time in the hotel as we wanted to explore the amazing city, but the time we did spend recharging our batteries in the hotel was more than fine! Cleaned daily, quiet room, everything working! :) :)

Hospitable Comfort

When I checked in I discovered my reservation had been incorrectly booked for the day before, but the desk manager efficiently rebooked me at a very good rate and I was soon in my elegant room. The linens and bedding are luxurious. The hotel design is imaginative and very elegant. I loved it!
