Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

great locationclean roomsmall roomno facilities

The location was great for exploring. Public transportation and Central Park were within walking distance. The room was clean upon arrival. It had a stylish decor that I liked.

The room was very small. It was difficult for two people to share the space. There were no coffee or tea making facilities in the room.

amazing location and efficient setup!

the hotel's location is fantastic, right between the hudson river and central park! i could easily walk to the park and explore. the staff was friendly and always willing to help. the room, though compact, had everything i needed for a comfortable stay (especially the large screen tv!).

the room was definitely on the smaller side, making it a bit challenging to open my suitcase fully.
