    Check in process- we waited to get check in till 5pm Front desk was rude. We arrived at 8am from a red eye trip we knew we cant check in yet so we had our luggages stored, morning shift front desk told us they will get our rooms ready by 3pm. We came back past 3 pm and and gold us to wait 45 min because room is not ready after an hour of waiting in crowded lobby they told us room is still not ready - eventually gave us a room at 4th floor no views and rooms and you can hear loud noise from street.

    The 3rd elevator was being repaired/updated. The morning rush was frustrating and required a bit of patience. The 2 working elevators were "staffed" and operated manually. This was to make the best of a bad situation. Again, it took some patience and time maintenance.

    The staff was super nice. Our king room with city view was very comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was good if a bit chaotic with lots of people but the staff handled it very well.

    Rooms are very small. No where to hang a hand towel. Some Elevators were down so had to wait 10min every time I went up and down which was really annoying. One note: I only stayed in this location because it was near an event I was going to. The area itself is loud, smells like pot and has questionable characters roaming around. There are better areas to stay in.

    Easy to get in and out of hotel (vs larger hotels), decent free breakfast, friendly staff.

    The neighborhood is very crowded because the hotel is next to the Port Authority Terminal. One of the three elevators is not working, so there are lines on all the 40 floors. So people, prepare yourself for climbing stairs. I can imagine some gluten free options for breakfast.

    They give a little bit more than other hotels (bigger room, facilities, very good breakfast bottled water).

    I didn't like the breakfast. It was too simple, with too many people and too few tables. The Wi-Fi didn't work; I used my mobile data the whole time. The location was good, close to everything, but the street was dirty and a bit lonely at night.

    The room was perfect for a two-night stay. It was comfortable and clean, and the view was beautiful. The staff was very kind and helpful.

    Elevator!!!...elevator!!! elevator!!!...the hotel has only three elevators for almost 250 rooms and more than 500 guests and visitors...One of the elevators was completely out of work... from the other remaining two, one was partially working with malfunctions and only one was in place...As a result, you had to wait in the line, either downstairs at the lobby , or from your high floor, for 15-'20-30 minutes or more for your service...

    location, staff, cleanliness, small kitchen inside, refrigerator, wifi...Subway was very close, and all famous sightseeing's were in a walking distance ....

    The discounted rate was only for the day and other daily rates applied for the rest of the days. That was not clarified when booking so it overshot my budget.

    Location is great and next to all essentials. It is very easy to access the hotel either by private if public means

    It was very crowded, and the elevators did not work properly. But they did a good job managing it the best way they could.

    This would be perfect for families since they have a great kitchenette in the rooms. It feels like an apartment.

    The hotel has 3 elevators for 40 floors and one of them was broken so it was painfully long waits for the Elevator. Also they hold your bag only until 9pm so you need to get check in and retrieve your bag before then. Otherwise you can't get your bag.

    Location was excellent.
