The hotel needed updating overall. A/C barely working and it’s NYC in the summer. Staff super nice. Expensive for what it was but it’s NYC.

Pros (+) Location and proximity to subway stations. Helpful staff. Responsive management to fitness center inaccessibility.
Cons (-) Noisy neighbors and street activity. Fitness center was not open which was not mentioned on the website.
Cons (-) Hotel did not feel very clean. Staff and guests were often non-covid compliant and ac didn’t work with no working windows.
Pros (+) Room was clean , bright and comfortable

When another water bottle was requested due to this condition, we were told several times that "there is only one water bottle per room".

Pros (+) I liked the location as I chose it to be close to an interview location I was going to an interview nearby at Columbia University. The bathroom was decent, and clean, but the shower was very low flow and kinda cold. This was not a gold elite status experience.
Cons (-) The room was very old, dark and the bedding was uncomfortable and stinky. I arrived very late and had an intervuew at 6:30 am so I could not discuss the situation with the hotel immediatly. I woke up at 4 because the smell of the bed was so overwhelming and it felt dirty. There was a party downstairs and I could hear it all in my room.
Pros (+) About 1 block away from Apollo Theater and nearby shopping.
Pros (+) Great atmosphere. Very comfortable beds. Transportation friendly. Good location Staff very helpful.
Cons (-) The carpets could do with a cleaning.
