Full disclosure. This hotel has a nightclub and is a very popular hotel for younger party crowd. So Thursday, Friday and Saturday after 10pm- 2am, be aware of the club crowds. Check in was easy, staff all very friendly and helpful. I requested to make sure our room was on lower floors (away from club). We were here for fashion week. The room design, decor & layout is pretty clever. We had view of the Empire State Building. The hallways were a bit noisy at night due to the partygoers and other young people living their best lives.(I turned on my background noise for bedtime). The location of this hotel is fantastic! Walk to Chelsea Market, Pier 57, or to 8th Ave easily to catch the A,C,E trains/subway. Very conveniently located. Lots of food option everywhere.
