charming hotel with excellent service

fine decor well trained staff
the entry decor is quite fine, i noticed sangrias upon check-in, a lovely surprise. staff members were pleasant and knowledgeable every step of the way, this improved my experience. i found the location great, i walked to dinner and a play and felt completely safe.
upon arrival on the fifth floor, i smelled a marijuana odor which was strong throughout the night. it made it very uncomfortable for me to sleep, especially since i suffer from allergies and asthma. i wish this issue was addressed more thoroughly.

the staff were very helpful. they offered advice on places to eat. the hotel had a quirky design with well-appointed features. i thought the location was great. it was central to everything i needed as a tourist. it was near union square, beds were comfortable, and the large tv was nice. housekeeping provided fresh towels after one night.
the room was very dark. it had a nonexistent window. the heater did not work well. i had to ask for assistance. the heating stopped working again later. the room lacked a fridge. i think for the price, a little fridge in the room is expected.

My stay wasn't perfect. I found the lack of a fridge in the room inconvenient (especially at the price I paid). I also struggled with the noise, it seemed to come from everywhere. The cleaning wasn't what I expected for the cost either.

Fantastic Location and Cool Vibe

central location free coffee quiet room
The hotel's location is central. It made exploring so simple. The coffee available in the lobby helped start my day right. I found the decor very cool, the rooms were quiet, and the bed provided comfort after long days.
The elevator was quite small. It barely fit one person with a luggage cart, which sometimes caused delays.
