the location allowed simple trips to many places. big apple market existed in the same building. this was a great source for coffee and breakfast. i liked the proximity to theaters and shopping. the staff seemed kind and helpful.
the bathroom lacked total separation. opaque glass did not fully enclose it. there was a weird smell present in the room. i believe the plumbing may be responsible for this.

The location offered convenient access. It was close to a subway station. Plenty of restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.
The shower walls had some mold. the towels were not very clean. Some towels had makeup stains. The shower curtain was short and water leaked around the toilet.
