"We were very pleasantly surprised for the price how beautiful spot we got. Inside the building is newly renovated super clean and the front desk staff are super helpful. Well we were beyond pleasantly surprised and it's pretty close to a key subway station. During the day the area is fine and easy access to everything needed. At night, The neighborhood is less beautiful than some of the tourist traps but still okay. Came with complimentary drinks tons of towels. Would definitely stay there again with my husband and kids. Although they have blackout blinds, I did need to make some adjustments to get it really dark. It does face an apartment, so don't come for the view. That being said we were very very very very very pleased with our stay."

The member of staff own reception was nothing but EXCELLENT and most helpful who managed to get me a room so that I could rest from my injuries. Unfortunately I did not take note of his name.
