Fun, Trendy place

I had a great deal here for a room on Valentines Day. The decor of the hotel and the rooms is modern and trendy looking. The room was on the small side, but it had a very comfy bed, big tv, bathrobes, plenty of toiletries and some cool blue lighting. The best part- staff. I had to leave very early the next day to catch a flight. They checked me out quickly and even hailed a cab for me!

close to everything

while I enjoyed being close to everything, the hotel just missed the mark in that 'comfort' feeling. hotel was attractive, staff was friendly, but there was just something missing in the feeling of appreciating my business and definitely not the most 'comfortable' as far as bed/bedding and seating in the room. Room was also small ...reminded me of a cruise ship.......best attraction for this hotel, LOCATION

If you are wanting to be near great food and other large attractions, study a map and be sure this is the hotel for you. Very short walk to great Deli's and Radio City and Carnegie Hall

Stay-cation

I wanted to get away for the weekend. I live in Manhattan but I wanted the tourist experience for my guest. They had a great time and the price was decent for the weekend. Quiet, clean, and a decent size especially for NYC. I would stay here again

2 steps from Carnegie Hall

If you're looking for proximity to Carnegie Hall, you're practically there.... just a short block away. The hotel has a funky-chic ambiance about it, from lobby to the room. The only thing that killed the value was the tiny, tiny size of the room. Beyond the bed there really wasn't much room to wiggle, but the flipside to that is the most comfortable, plushy bed I've ever slept in. Within 2 minutes I was fast asleep for an afternoon nap, and I wasn't even tired! No gyms or major amenities here, but they do have a few bars- downstairs and in the penthouse. It the hotel was maybe 10% cheaper, I'd give it another star for value.

It's trendy

The decor is great, however the rooms are tiney, which may not matter if you're not planning on spending that much time there.
