Guests frequently highlight the comfortable beds, clean rooms, and a solid breakfast that includes options like eggs, pancakes, and bagels; however, some have noted that the breakfast selection could become repetitive over longer stays.

The hotel location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation. i found a grocery store and several restaurants nearby. the breakfast was very good. It was a positive start to each day.
The gym was quite basic. It felt more like a storage room with a couple of exercise machines. wifi was slow. I struggled to browse social media. some staff members seemed uninterested. They spent time on their phones behind the front desk.

The rooftop view was amazing. I walked to the subway in just a few minutes. Breakfast had various options and was included in the price.
The bathroom was not clean at all. I found hairs in the towel and the shower curtain was dirty. There was a strong smell inside and outside the room. I didn't like it.
