Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and very quiet, but they felt quite small and lacked modern facilities. The service was a hit or miss - some staff members were very helpful and professional, while others were rushing and rude. However, the location was perfect, just steps away from Grand Central, and the dining options were a bit limited but reasonably priced. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I found the hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The rooms were small but spotless, equipped with thermostatic air conditioning typical of New York hotels. The bunk beds were cozy, and the room was ready upon my arrival. Service was exceptional, especially the concierge who assisted me with booking a helicopter flight and a ferry ride, and the staff's professionalism and friendliness were top-notch. The location was convenient with easy access to restaurants, shops, and public transportation, making it one of the best value hotels I've stayed at in the city. However, the dining options were limited, and the Tuscan theme seemed out of place. Unfortunately, the hotel's closure during my visit was a downside.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with excellent design, friendly and helpful service, a great location near major attractions, and a rooftop dining experience at a price point above $300 per night.
The hotel offers modern and very clean rooms, but they can be noisy if located next to the elevator. It may not be suitable for those seeking a lot of time inside the hotel. The service is mixed with friendly welcoming gestures but lacking enthusiasm sometimes. The location is convenient, with easy access to transportation, although local insights could have been shared earlier. The dining options are pricey for the category, with limited breakfast choices. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
