Nice hotel for New York City. Convenient location right near the No. 6 subway line. Rooms are a little small but it’s NYC. I liked it because it’s so close to so many things. I wouldn’t waste time on the breakfast. Beds were big and comfortable. Hotel was not weird or scammy.

As someone who loves Korean food I picked a great hotel to stay in! The location, quality customer service and cleanliness stand out the most. I felt safe leaving at 1:30 am to get local Korean food and early morning walks for cafes were a joy. I would absolutely stay here again :)
