Great location. Its walkable to the popular tourist sites, but far away enough to be not as congested and noisy at night.
The updated rooms kept the nice old charm and are quite large, especially for downtown New York.
All the staff we encountered were very nice and helpful except for a waitress in the rooftop bar, which was unfriendly. We had to chase her down twice, 15 minutes apart, to ask for our tab. There was only 1 other group in our area and we had to pay at the bar. No apologies were given. She just took payment from my wife and walked away. If it wasn't for her being a sour puss, we would of had a great experience. The DJ played a great track. The breakfast staff and the breakfast, on the rooftop patio, were very nice!
