Disappointing in features though well located

First the room was incredibly tiny, with the shower a glass-wall unit inside the small bedroom; and the sink also inside the bedroom. The toilet is in a small closet. There is one over-the-sink mirror that is oddly lit. When you shower the whole room gets steam up because the glass does not go to the ceiling. The closet is VERY small. There's no room to put your suitcase in the room except to block the little bit of space you have between the wall and the bed. The free continental breakfast is the barest minimum. One elevator was working, and it's a small one. The orb. online description is deceptive; it says fitness room and health club--neither are on premises. Rather you are given a pass to go to the equinox which is FOUR blocks away. This is unacceptable; and unfair advertising. If the fitness room is off premises, the description should say so. i stayed here because it had a fitness center--that's a bottom line item for me, and there wasn't one. Pluses: the Wifi is free and functions throughout this small hotel. the staff is very friendly and goes out of its way to help you, although they are not all very knowledgeable and need to learn more about their neighborhood and the locations of major NY sight, such as the MOMA. The staff does its best to make your experience better (they deserve kudos),but the facilities are lacking

Fantastic, Central Location. Every thing is nearby.

Over all satisfactory, Rooms are small specially for the couples. Breakfast is of 2 star standard, not appreciated in any way.

Excellent But No Busines Center

The hotel is excellent, the location is excellent, but the surprise was that there was no business center. S0 if on one is on vacation and chose to not bring a notebook, one can't do simple tasks like print airline tickets.

Great for Business or Couples

Room was small but VERY modern and well appointed. Staff was outstanding. If you have business at Rockafeller or are in town for Site-Seeing, the location is Near Perfect.

NYC for Porgy & Bess weekend

As soon as we got to the hotel the staff treated us like family (the door man - Greg and the front desk personnel - Hugh are THE BEST!!!!). The rooms are "cozy" (read - small), but nicely done. A great couple's get-a-way. You can't beat the location. Near everything, but "a little off the beaten path" so you don't feel like you are smack dab in the middle of Time Square. Nice eclectic decor and the lounge/bar is pretty good. For the price, you can't beat the location and the excellent staff. The hotel is short on amenities, but who stays in their hotel when you're in NYC/TS?!?! If you are on a business trip - this hotel is not for you.

Fantastic Staff

Found this Hotel online while looking for something different from the usual. The hotel's staff could not have been nicer, more helpful of friendlier. We made full use of the concierge (STARS) service for restaurants, cabs etc. The rooms are clean and comfortable especially the bed but they are - lets say very compact. If you are looking for a room to hang out in and work this is probably not for you but are a clean comfortable place to sleep they are great and very quiet. It was very close to Time Sq and all those amenities. The lobbies and bar were really nice with comfortable seating next to a gas flame fire. Definitely recommend

Good Hotel, Great Location

The hotel was nice. It's right by Times Square, so the location is great. The staff was pleasant. The room was nice, but small. Breakfast was average. Parking is across the street at $50 for 24hrs.
