    Highly Recommend

    Welcoming and helpful from arrival through to departure. Clean and well maintained throughout. Efficient well organised staff, from the doorman through reception, breakfast staff and room attendants. We could not think of any way this could be improved.

    Nothing special....and, coffee not provided!

    The hotel is clean and the bed was comfortable. But, the rooms are very "bare bones"...nothing extra. It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel that didn't provide coffee....not in the room and not in the lobby. Well, yes....you can buy coffee in the lobby café for $5. This was our first time at this hotel. I doubt if we'll return. There are better options in NYC.
