Pros (+) Large rooms for New York. Mini kitchen.
Cons (-) Property feels tired and in need of renovation. Elevators were slow and troublesome. No silverware or plates in mini kitchen. You will get dinged with a daily facilities fee.

Pros (+) Great location and good price. The staff was friendly.
Cons (-) On one of the days we stayed, the entire hotel's air conditioning was out for almost 24 hours. It was humid and very hot outside and we were traveling with an infant so we decided to come back to the hotel only to find it even more hot and muggy inside.

Pros (+) Clean and spacious room
Cons (-) The only reason why i booked this hotel is for the rooftop and you guys completly ruined my stay by closing the rooftop for a private event the ONE day i booked. Good to know that no matter how much cash you shell out youll still get beat over the head because of rich people wanting to close off a whole area of a hotel. Horriible experience.
