The rooms were clean, spacious, and serviced daily, which we really appreciated. We stayed in Room 205, and unfortunately, the bathroom had a noticeable sewer smell.

Good location, steps from the famed 5th Avenue. The suite I had was clean and spacious but lacked character, art. The only common space is the rooftop pool area and bar which is nice, friendly staff. But there was rarely anyone in the rooftop pool area. Bummer.
