This was a great property in the heart of midtown New York. You were within three blocks of Rockefeller and in great walkable distance to everything. As well as it's right on the Lexington and 53rd subway stop so really easy to get to from the airport

Very nice for a short stay! It's cozy and perfect for a two person stay. However, there are lots of very loud guests all throughout the entire night though the staff does seem to do their best to take care of noise complaints!

Despite indicating that we wanted our room cleaned, it was not- we never even received a change of towels. The AC made loud banging sounds throughout the night and the in-room shower, toilet and sink unit are very bare bones.
