Hotel was perfect for our overnight visit to the City. Quick walk to the Broadway (#1/ Red) subway downtown line to have dinner at Times Square and see a show. (Look for the Banksy mural ("Hammer Boy") on the walk from the hotel to the subway too!) Also a quick walk up the street to go to the Museum of Natural History/ Central Park. (Note:There's an umbrella in the room if you forget yours.) Breakfast place on site, but also a lot of great options nearby. Staff was wonderful with a quick check in. We weren't aware of the fact that the hotel had a partnership with a parking lot a couple of streets away (iPark on 143rd West and 83rd St). We parked at the garage across the street (pricey and tight) and were running late so we didn't move our car. Highly recommend- would stay there again!

I love everything about the hotel. Great vibe, clean, awesome neighborhood. The only thing that was difficult for me was the temperature control. You can't set the heat any lower than 68 degrees and if you completely turn off the heat and open the window, my room never got below 70 and it was below zero outside. I might be the exception, but I can't sleep in a room that's warmer than 65 degrees so I didn't sleep much.
