"Loved the location near public subway transportation, shopping, and dining. Thought the hotel as a whole was rather stunning in terms of size and visual appeal, though the room itself was a bit dated, especially the bathroom. The staff, though, were top notch - very helpful, quick and friendly."

Great hotel. Food so so.
"This is an absolute great hotel. Just avoid dinner buffet. Lukewarm and pretty bland. Might be hotel buffet standard, but since Japanese food options are great suggest to steer clear. Lovely little Indian restaurant 2 minutes away if you need something close to hotel."
