Stayed for eight nights over the Thanksgiving weekend. The hotel staff were great from Check in to the room service. The room was the Ocean Penthouse and the security wasn’t 100% access door was open and the patio door would not lock. That was the worst of it. The room was great and the hotel location top too. Park on 13 st at $20 for 24 hours , don’t use the valet who charge close to $45 a night. I think we will try another hotel next year but you could try this with no issues.

The room was clean and it was spacious ( had a Jr Deluxe suite). The staff was nice. We did not like the fact that we had to walk a ways through the restaurant and through the gelato place to get to the elevator to get to the room. Kit a game-changer, but not convenient. It’s also not ideal that the free breakfast is for Cafe Americano at its sister hotel , Hotel Victor. It’s 3 blocks away. Also, no gym is not great a well.

Hotel was very noisy upon checking in due to louse live music. Staff’s response was that we should have done our research and brought ear plugs. Room smelled and was missing table chair and bedding and towels. Bedding was provided after reminding twice and towels never came. Phone was working also. Cafe for breakfast is not on site and 5-10 minutes walk. Would not recommend and return to this hotel.
