| This hotel was very down at the heels: Rickety elevators; moldy, broken ceiling in the shower; broken phone in the bathroom - I had to disconnect it to stop the incessant buzzing; floor lamp and both bedside lamps wobbled and barely stood up - 2 had burnt out light bulbs; carpent was threadbare and should have been replaced ages ago. The good news? Linens were clean and the window opened to let out the strong odor of disinfectant.

| Great location. One big negative is that the A/C unit is an old wall unit that made tons of noise (and is located about 2 feet from the head of the bed).

| The rooms where clean, modern, comfortable and an overall great place to come back and relax in after hitting the sites and sounds of the big city. My boyfriend and I were very impressed, would recommend the hotel to anyone, and would consider returning on our next trip to the city.

| At least one of their rooms have a bad heater. We froze to death and then switched rooms at 2 AM!!! After that it was okay. Too much Italian as well.Except these two things the hotel has great rooms. They have wireless internet for $10 and that's really nice. Room service as well as the bathroom is also nice.If there wasn't the problem with the heater I would go back to this hotel but first impressions always stay with you and with so many hotels in NY I doubt I'll ever go back to this hotel. However, I would recommend this hotel to others but tell them to really check the heating in there room.

| not impressed with the quality of the hotel. The air conditioner didn't work well and it was VERY loud. Felt like there was a lack of information about the hotel. For example, no one pointed out what amenities were available in the hotel or pointed out nearby points of interest like good restaurants or a pharmacy. The staff wasn't friendly enough to make me feel comfortable to even ask.
