10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 I booked this hotel last minute on a Tuesday night after being stranded in New York due to multiple flight delays, and I’m so glad I did. The staff was kind and welcoming, which made a stressful situation so much easier. The room was clean, the bed was fresh and comfortable, and the towels were spotless. Walking into a clean, well-prepared space after such a long day was exactly what I needed. I truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely stay here again."
