I would highly recommend this place. I’ve stayed at several different hotels in the area. I definitely feel like it is very budget-friendly by New York standards, even with a top-floor room at the highest price. My room was very far from street noise, which is always a plus for me. The view is beautiful. I didn’t use the kitchen for cooking, but it’s nice to have a full-size fridge and microwave to reheat coffee or anything else. The bed was comfortable, but I couldn’t sleep well the first night because the pillows and sheets smelled like they were sprayed with air freshener. I asked room service to change them the next day, which they did and resolved the issue. The gym views on the top floor are also pretty amazing. I don’t think any air conditioning was working there, but propping the door open cooled the place enough in the morning. The breakfast is pretty good; there is a good variety, and it’s a bit different every day. I really loved how I was greeted everywhere, and everyone was courteous and helpful. I would recommend this place.
