The staff was very helpful and friendly (Gabriela, et al.), however, we weren't real big on the actual room... in particular, the bathroom. The shower was the biggest issue: half of the shower was not covered by glass or curtain, getting water all over the floor, the toilet was right next to the door (which swung inward), so it was quiet difficult to close if you were already sitting. But again, the biggest issue was the shower. So much so that during or 3 night stay we only showered once. It just became too much of a hassle and we hated getting water all over the place. Luckily they stocked up on the towels, as we needed all but 2 to put on the ground. No free wi-fi unless you're in the lobby was a huge thumbs down. And we were on the 2nd floor (not recommended) and could hear EVERY horn, yell, and goings on outside, even with the ear plugs. If you're offered room 211, don't do it.
Although the interior of the hotel was somewhat dated , This was more than made up for by the friendly and courteous staff. It was raining outside and they offered us umbrellas one morning. The room was small but adequate
Staff was mostly nice. One lady was a bit unfriendly, but the rest of them made up for her.
The hotel is convenient . Restaraunts within walking didtant. Transportation easily accessible however pipes and air conditioner loud.
Location and staff of hotel was good. Need to fix extensions and electrical outlets. They were all too loose, made it hard to charge phones. Even nightstand clock and lamps, if they were slightly moved, they would come loose from extension. We had to ask for wash cloths, housekeeping would not replace after cleaning room for whatever reason. Shower leaked all over floor with half door, water ran along the sides of tub/wall/door on to floor when using shower head IN ANY POSITION. Only one light switch on wall of the three we found worked. Not sure if these problems were unique to our room or other rooms had same problems.
Loved this hotel! It wasn't too close to the city which was great for noise control and not being so crowded.
The staff could not have been nicer. The room was clean and comfortable. Many "upscale" amenities are in the room - though most come with a surcharge. View was lovely (East River & the Queensboro Bridge). The Upper East Side is more quiet than many other areas of Manhattan. Trains are about a 4 block hike through upscale neighborhoods. Only negative was a $75 "damage deposit fee". A full refund was given, but it seems rather unwelcoming. 4.5/5 stars
Great hotel with great views! Upgraded to a suite and it's totally worth it
The staff, facilities, room and view were all amazing. We had an issue with the heat, but the hotel fixed it. Quiet end of the street walkable to everything. Nicely updated with a cute little bar in the lobby.
The shower never got warm. The lighting is poor. When I tried to complain the staff wasn't interested. Look elsewhere.
Would stay here again due to location/proximity to family but would not come on a vacation. Room was large; furnishings and bathroom tired.
Would have been nice if they had breakfast . Lots of construction ambulance, was noisy
We have stayed in this hotel many times over several years and were very pleased with our accommodations. At our most recent stay, we found the hotel room to be clean and the staff to be pleasant. Unfortunately, the lobby was drab and in need of a make over. The furniture was worn out and some of the couches were torn. The furniture in our room was shabby and in need of replacement. While, there is free internet in the lobby, it is not free in the room. We found this to be an inconvenience and not acceptable. Most hotels offer free access in each room.
We arrived earlier than check-in time (around 1:00), so they held our luggage and took our number while we got a bite to eat nearby....which by the way, there are a lot of decent places to eat one block west on 1st Ave. While we were having lunch at the Ritz Diner (been there forever...great for bfast or lunch, not expensive), the front desk called and told us there was a room available now on a low floor, or would we prefer to wait for a room higher up. That was very nice to offer. The lobby is urban, industrial, chic. The room was well appointed, with very comfortable beds, all typical amenities of a good hotel, though was surprised that they charged for the coffee in the room...no matter...don't drink it. Bathroom is small, with little space for your things, but big enough...Overall we were very happy with our stay. Oh! One other thing. The battery in our safe was dead. Called the front desk, spoke to the manager, who agreed to lock our valuables in his office while we were out and the battery was replaced. Less than an hour later we returned to the hotel where they had replaced the battery AND cleaned the room already!
The hotel has excellent customer service from staff.
Staff very poorly trained. One of them was very unprofessional and rude, besides ignorant in her job. Sad, because the location has great views of the water and bridge.
AC did not work, room changed from riverview to cityview, parking payment did not charge, they charge for everything even water and coffee in the room, not easy to find taxi at this hotel
Bed was the best. Super cozy and the view was gorgeous! We got to check in early and have a nap which was great. We will be back soon :)
had a problem with dry cleaning but hotel staff dealt with it seemingly appropriately!
