Lo peor que me ha pasado nunca Sucio , deteriorado , ruidoso y caso omiso reclamaciones . Se olvidan de limpiar la habitación y cuando vuelves de un día intenso visitando N York y lo descubres te dicen mañana …. Ningún mayorista debería tenerlo en su cartera para ofrecerlo. Tengo múltiples fotos para poder acreditarlo .

Lack of parking spot, and soundproof very bad, you can here people open door close door at midnight. And the one last thing I cannot tolerate one! Is the towel super dirty eww!! I already change one time, and the second time the towel came also dirty one. Disappointed!

While this hotel doesn't come with the frills one might be used to when staying at more 'established' locations, they've covered the bases for what a person might need. And at their prices, this hotel option is quiet, clean, and comfortable. The staff were also really quite delightful, and were friendly during every interaction I had with them.

Clean and compact hotel that’s fairly new, but there were many issues with my room: •Toilet bowl was faulty on the first night and the following night the air-con broke down – changed rooms as a result • WiFi was spotty and weak – used my phone data for the bulk of the time • Be reminded that you need to place a tag on your door for room service. No one communicated that to me (until Day 4 after multiple times of feedback given) so my room was left as is for days. Tips: • They don’t serve hand soap, but you could use the body soap provided in the shower as a substitute. • There are no facial tissues, so toilet paper is your alternative.
