    Requested a corner room with a view of union square. They gave us a corner room opposite union square on a lower floor. View wasn’t as great as anticipated

    Our room was very large for a NYC hotel Nice to have the space since we were there for 6 nights Was an excellent location close to lots of restaurants and shops Loved union square and the energy Easy walking to many other happening neighborhoods in all directions

    There was some gunge left in the shower that wasn't cleaned. The restaurant was out of commission for refurbishment which was disappointing.

    The decor has been amazing and extremely comfortable. Location in the city is good.

    The renovation aspect. Limited the access we had to the hotel amenities.

    Great location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, except the breakfast person who gave my daughter a hard time for grabbing our pastries and coffee in the morning. It was my daughters and I staying in the room but we would send one person down every day to grab our breakfast. And he gave her a difficult time. Didn't appreciate that.

    For a new renovation, just completed the toilet seat was falling off, and the shower door is a bit cumbersome to close so water leaks. But house keeping for daily service plus turn down was fantastic.

    Perfect location 20-30mins walk to most areas in most directions. Extremely helpful staff, and the small team of 3 that manages the "Whatever/Whenever" phone service is a credit to the hotel. They went above an beyond to organise our crumble cookie review. (don't forget to tip these guys, they are not customer facing, but work so hard, so often get overlooked, in my opinion). The communal areas will be stunning when the State City permit comes through, thank you staff member Cici for showing me these areas, the renovation is stunning. Also as the restaurant wasn'y yet open for breakfast, the provision of daily pastries was fresh and delicious. This was a great service.

    The curtain doesn’t close all the way in my room, and the staff doesn’t seem very professional, took too long to check me in. Their attitude is nice tho.

    The location is very central, close to subway. The room looks new and is a decent size for Manhattan.

    The light fixture controls were a little difficult to reach. The charging plugs were great, but I didn't see them at first, no power indicator lights.

    Everything was super comfortable. View of park was a little limited but closeness to other room was more important. The room was spacious. The shower was great. I did let water run so it would warm up.

    Sad that the rooftop bar was not open yet. The rooms were neat and cleanish there was dust and dirt buildup on window sills and room base boards. Some of the furniture was chipped and worn even though they advertised renovated rooms.

    Great location, close to subway station and restaurants in the area. The size of the room was large for NYC standards and great city view from our room.

    Sadly it was under massive renovation and they did not have a lounge set up for guests nor a place to sit and order a drink. In such a large hotel they could have carved out a business room for that. They did have coffee and danish so that was appreciated.

    Love the location, staff, our room.

    Dated. Looking forward to completion of the renovation. The rooms desperately need it. The chair is not comfortable. Room is dark. The curtains don’t stay all the way open so it blocks the light from 1/3 of the window. Hallways dark. The value of the room was a bit pricey considering that there were really no amenities in the hotel.

    Great location with plenty of bars & restaurants in the area. Close to NYU, can walk 20 mins north or south to Soho or Chelsea area. Great size room. Clean. Comfy bed.
