Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, simple yet comfortable. I had to spend a whole day inside it during the big blizzard. The afternoon before I stopped by the Trader Joes 3 blocks up the road and got provisions to "shelter in place". By the evening it was impossible to go out, so the fridge, microwave and coffee pot were just perfect. The staff was great too. I was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, so staff helped me carry stuff up. They also have complimentary snacks and coffee at reception. The Inn is well located, and fine for sitting out a blizzard!

Staff was nice and helpful. For me it was perfect bc I lived in nyc for 12 years so it felt like home. The room is like a bedroom. Took a while for the hot bath water to warm up. That’s the only thing I can think of honestly.

put in my credit card info and had to take a picture of it as well as my ID and a day later i get a $132 and $432 charge for concert resale tickets, what a coincidence. save yourself the time and don’t stay here. i knew something was fishy when they wanted a photo of my card info. card number, expiration date and cvv. protect yourself and be smart. or you’re gonna regret it. not to mention the blood stained sheet me and my bf slept on and didn’t notice till the next morning and load moaning sounds coming from a floor or so down. the people at the front desk were none existent most of the time and when requested a refund they denied.
