Check in was easy and quick. The room was a notch bigger than other NYC hotels. I wasn’t thrilled when we saw a cockroach in our room but we were able to kill it and never saw another. The hotel was convenient to where we needed to be and we were in a rush to get there.

Honestly I’m a bit surprises for a hotel that charges around $600 per night that the heat wasn’t working for the winter month. They brought a space heater but really kinda wild for a nice place like this. I travel a lot to New York and have been looking for a permanent hotel to stay at consistently so I’ll keep looking.
