Cool Boutique, even Cooler Location!
The staff were exceptional, before during and after the stay. The rooms were generous, great value and very clean. The location couldn't have been better, 2 mins from Times Squares, with bars and cafes to suit all tastes. Thanks to John, John Paul and Danny for all your help!!

Fun location for weekend trip
The hotel was very cute and clean. The lobby is small but modern. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very small, but well appointed, comfortable and clean. It was close to everywhere we wanted to go either walking, using the subway or by cab. It was a busy place. We stayed 2 nights and the prices was great for what we needed.

Not what I expected
First of all, there were two reasons why I picked this hotel. One was location, and the second was the continental breakfast that was included. Well, when I got to the hotel, I was told that breakfast was not included. I called the number and they said there was nothing they could do about it. Since i had planned a five day stay, it cost me an extra $ 60-150 for the minimum breakfast foods. I was also told that there was a minibar, but that if we took anything out of it for more than 10-15 seconds, it would be charged to my credit card. They had wonderfully overpriced items like the $ 11 nuts and $10 water. Although I asked them to take all this junk out, they said it would have to wait. They never removed it. Consequently, I had no refrigeration for anything I wanted to bring to the room. Speaking of the room, there were two of us and we booked a king or double occupancy. What we got was a double bed. After a couple of nights of two of us sleeping in a bed meant for one, both of us developed a strange rash on our legs. I can only guess what the cause of this was, but it did come from the bed. Not only was the bed small and uncomfortable, the room was tiny. The shower was the smallest I have ever been in. A contortionist might have been able to touch his knees, but not his feet. We only got one clean washcloth per day for two people, although there were stacks of them in the exercise area. There was not even a restroom on the ground floor for guests. The location of the hotel and the difficulties of booking another hotel at such short notice was the only reason I stayed in the hotel. The staff, especially the countermen was not overly rude, but they were not at all helpful. The exception was a young man named Dan who helped us hail a cab and helped us with our bags when we left. He was the only bright spot in the whole place. Needless to say, I feel cheated by this hotel. The pictures on its website do not indicate how small the place really is. -

Great Hotel in Theater District
We walked just about everywhere except to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Hotel's in a great location, across from the Belasco Theater. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Liked presence of ATM on site & PC to print boarding pass. Hot cider in lobby is nice touch, as are apples for the taking.
