College trip

This hotel is in a perfect location for central park and times square. The staff was very helpful with all our needs and with suggestions. The room was a little warm and the other guests were loud, not the hotel's fault. Perfect for visiting Fordham and seeing the sites.

Nice

Hi, I had a wonderful time at your hotel. I have no complaints and i do have good memories. The only thing i missed was a coffee machine in the room. That itself is helpful to have for someone like myself. Thank you, Vanessa

Don't be fooled by the price or the lobby...

I got what I paid for I guess. Smallest room I've ever had in NYC. The music from the top floor lounge vibrated my room on the 12th floor and made me feel like I was sleeping in a club. Very very annoying. The blue lights under the bed are also a bit odd. I'm not sure what the appeal is for those. Anyways, the location is convenient and the lounge is nice. I fell for the deal they had going but will never stay here again that is for sure.

Great Hotel BUT

Hotel is in an excellent location. Rooms are small but very nice and clean. Staff is very nice and helpful. Would give it a four but: 1. Internet access is very very slow and is charged $10 per day on a PER DEVICE basis. If I have a phone, a tablet and a laptop (not to mention my wife's), I would need to pay for each ! 2. There are only three elevators servicing the entire hotel including staff. If you want to use the elevator during morning rush or at night when lots of non-hotel visitors are also using them to get to the club on top, good luck. We were late for something and had to wait more than 10 minutes to get an elevator.

Certainly not a 4 star

This is not a 4 star hotel. The reception desk staff was inattentive, hung up on me, and didn't look me in the eye. You could stand one in part of the room and seemingly touch every wall. The room furniture was damaged, dingy. The air conditioner/heat sounded like a freight train. I will never, ever stay here again.
