Staff here is amazing. Our flight was super early and we went to check in the bags so we could explore the city in the meantime. The staff was actually able to help us get checked in way earlier and help us get settled. Coffee smell in the lobby is also amazing and super welcoming. Room was wonderful. Great view, super clean and comfortable, perfect to unwind

The room was clean, great size for NY, and the view was my fave. Staff was friendly. I would say my only issue was that our TV wasn’t working the first two nights and then when it did start working — it would buffer and was very slow. Other than that, we had a great stay here.
