Rooms were decent for what you paid, service wasn't the greatest. Had issues with the toilet a few times, housekeeping wasn't the best. We would have to constantly ask for towels. Location isn't bad at all, they have a shuttle service to the 5th avenue which was very helpful. They also had some stores that were a good walking distance with a McDonalds nearby and an amazing taco stand. I don't see myself rebooking a this place again.

The room was clean and people were friendly. Also, the breakfast was quite good. On the negative side, television services were very poor, the beds were hard, and the blinds did not work properly. Storage in terms of a dresser or drawers was also very lacking. It was quite small and uncomfortable for my wife, 2 sons, and I and we checked out early.
