We’ve stayed here many times and usually love it for the price and location, but this stay was a bit disappointing. There was construction that started at 7 AM on Saturday, and we were not warned about it beforehand, so it made it really hard to rest. The AC unit in our room was also extremely loud and clanky, waking us up several times throughout the night. They also had an employee event during our stay, so our room was never cleaned while we were out. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it would’ve been nice to be informed about these things ahead of time so we could plan around them. Overall, we still love the hotel, but this stay fell short of what we’ve experienced before.

The rooms were small but besides that loved how everything was within walking distance! So many restaurants nearby. The German market was down the street which was great! And the Capital one arena as well! Definitely recommend. Also, LOVED that they had a bar down stairs that closes late on the weekends!

Overall , nice place to do an overnight for a quick trip. Room is NYC small , but this was a solo trip so it did not bother me at all. It had all the necessities to make my stay comfortable . The front desk staff was friendly and helpful , and my room was clean. The hotel is on a very busy street so there is a lot of noise . The room had a white noise to help drown it out , so that was nice . Overall , I would stay here again for an overnighter.
