    This was a great hotel. Loved the area. If you want to experience what it’s like living in New York for your brief stay this literally is a one bedroom apartment. I loved my view so spacious. It was just me for this trip. Definitely will book again. The bed was so comfortable I normally do not sleep well in hotels. The mattress was so comfortable. It literally was like home. The hotel was quiet. Easy for Uber drops/pickups. Right in front of the door. Front desk was so friendly.

    Nice, clean spot, convenient and great for the price point!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    2nd time staying here. The place is very clean, staff is friendly and it’s close to the train. It’s more of a quiet neighborhood, so if you are looking for night life city experience this might not fit you. Will definitely be back.

    Located very close to a couple of Subway stations and coffee places , restaurants. We'll definitely go back Thank you for everything

    The location and the space for a person traveling alone was the best part. Advertised balcony very misleading. Only real view if from the terrace rooms. Wish there were more amenities or lobby options

    Lovely stay for a quick stay. Nice decor, feels plush when u first walk in. The kitchenette is a nice touch and a microwave is a HUGE plus! But could use paper towels for clean up and more than just 2 equal packets stocked. There was no regular sugar, nada. The tub is extremely clean, also a big plus but seems like the maid forgot to leave a soap bar box with actual soap in it or to refill the dispensers in the shower. I had no conditioner. Plush robes, slippers and towels that actually smell like real soap were nice to have. The bed was very comfortable, great pillows, but I did find some long hairs under my comforter that perhaps (hopefully) fell from the maid when they were turning over. Also, remote for the electric shade didn't work so couldn't sleep in total darkness, and a screen door on the balcony would do well so bugs don't get in if u want to get some fresh air in the room. They're not the biggest issues but I'd say they would've made all the difference which is why I mention them bc I'm sure the company will appreciate the simple fix suggestions that could've made this a stellar review. I must mention, the front desk gentleman, both in the evening and morning, were super polite, professional and welcoming! I don't believe this place is worth more than $180 a night, if I'm being generous. It was a nice, decent stay.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great place to stay with a lot of room.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Lovely space. Would love to see kitchen sponge and ability to use the kitchen sink. Patio was amazing. Staff were wonderful. Some minor cleaning issues but all in all, loved the space and would book again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Newly renovated hotel, close location to food, train, nice and central to everything, quick hop to city!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Hotel is very clean. Pablo was amazing and made our stay worth it. Friendly service and suggestions for locations to eat were a good help. Only down fall is pictures are not clear I purchased room assuming patio was the view that is depicted on the site hoping to catch the fire works for the Fourth of July. Was told that roof top terrace is only for penthouse suite not general public. Balcony in room is just a window very small space not enough for a chair or two people to stand out on. Also note there will be a $350 hold on your card for each not for incidentals. Room was clean just like pictures. Cool for a quick stay
