Very good value for money in a very expensive city
9.0Location for me was excellent . Easy access to subway and walking distance from family who I was visiting. The gym facility with the water fountain are great. Facilities in reception , tables and chairs , microwave and disposable utensils , coffee and tea are wonderful. Riverside park across the road is a beautiful…
The lifts are quite slow and small for the amount of people needing them and the cleaning staff with their large trolleys . At check out time it becomes a problem.

Great river view and nice staff
8.0We stayed a weekend and it was great - the staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, free coffee in the lobby, and the view from our room was of the river. Easy walk to the trains. Great stay for a friends weekend.
Only small thing was the AC was not working well. Someone came up to check it and offered a fan instead. Not sure if that is common in NYC since im not from there. Fan worked great for us.

Close to the 1 train and easy to navigate anywhere. Great AC, water pressure and comfortable bed. Staff was very nice. Stayed in the double bed room for two nights which was fine for two of us. Moved to suite for two nights. Very spacious and would work well for a family of 4.

Perfect City Break Base
9.0Great location for being relatively central but far away enough to be in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Clean, comfortable and perfect for a city break. Close to Central Park for walks.
The bed was a bit too short for me as I am touching 6ft.

Great location, right by the train. Comfortable stay for three nights two days! Staff was kind and helpful.
When we arrived one of the bed sheets had a stain. Our room was too close to the elevator which led to us being able to hear early morning conversations people were having in the hall that woke us up.
