Short stay, but sweet trip!
Our trip was short, but this stay made it amazing!!! The king suite is very spacious for NY. Pull out sofa was comfortable (according to my nephew). The design updates are chic, and the location is central to almost everything. We’ll definitely be back! Bonus: Subway right on the corner and a premium pastry shop about two blocks away. Lovely.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room key did not work when I returned late at night and a Master key was required to open the door. The phone in the room didn't work when I tried to call front desk, I had to use my mobile. The safe in the room was in operable and the cosmetic mirror didnt work. We expected these basic items to be functioning given the rate charged at this hotel. Staff was good though, but still. We mentioned all these shortcomings when we checked out but no reduction in the hotel rate was considered.
