Everything was wonderful from check in to check out. A standard hotel room, very comfortable. Easy access yo the German Village neighborhood which is lovely. An affordable alternative to the Conference Center hotels which allowed me to get a better feel for the city. The buses are a little infrequent by NYC standards so you need to time it right to take advantage of them. But there are plenty of Lyft cars around and those electric scooters if that will work for you.

The staff was superb; our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast area was small but clean and not overcrowded. Parking is a problem. It is a downtown area so security is concerning.

I will just say that when the toilet was not flushing quite right, they brought me a plunger to fix it myself.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel smelled like skunk weed near the elevators and in the hallways to the rooms. The first room we went into didn’t have all of the lamp shades and the ones that were there had stains. We also felt unsafe bc of the time it took for the doors to close to the room. The front desk was very helpful and moved us to a new room. The new room was cleaner. The iron in the new room didn’t work but housekeeping immediately brought an alternate working one up to our room which was much appreciated. The shower had decent water pressure but the water temperature was only lukewarm. The location of the hotel was good and located near many eating options and German district.
