Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and friendly service, but may seem pricey for the area due to the small room sizes. The location is excellent for easy access to Manhattan, though.
The hotel's location is convenient, and the service is friendly and efficient. However, the rooms felt small for the price paid and lacked spaciousness. The dining experience was unremarkable, with limited options. The facilities were adequate, but the overall value for the cost was questionable.
The hotel offers small rooms for a relatively high nightly cost, which may feel expensive considering the size, but a larger room can be found at a slightly lower rate near Times Square. However, the service is friendly and efficient, going out of their way to assist guests. The location is superb, being super close to Manhattan and conveniently close to transportation. The dining experience is complemented by homemade sausages. Overall, while the room sizes may be a downside, the service, location, and dining options make the stay enjoyable.
