“Good Stay”

Stayed a Saturday and Sunday night. Quick and easy checkin. Room was clean and quiet despite being by the elevator. Beds were comfortable. Soap and shampoo are hooked in shower which avoids all the bottles and everyone has enough. We were able to park for free on the street and then moved to a garage Sunday night. No complaints.

Here for a graduation which drove the price of this hotel up hugely as one would expect which always, unfairly, somewhat colors one's opinions of course! However we had a very comfortable stay here, where we were only really spending minimal time as we were out for graduation festivities most of the time. First of all, and this obviously depends on where you need to be in the city, I think that this location is first class. There are subway stations within a minute of the door and this is line #1 which will whisk you quickly either up or downtown. This was a great boon to us during our stay. Alternatively, there is always a space kept at the curb outside the hotel, where Ubers can easily pull up and we never waited more than a couple of minutes for one, since they are ubiquitous in this part of town. The hotel is surprisingly tall and thin! I wasn't expecting this for some reason, although I confess to not really doing that much research up front. The reception area is small and slightly set back from the street. Upon entry there is a check in desk or two to your right. The staff there were friendly enough but service was delivered in a slightly laissez-faire manner. This is probably to be expected at this brand level, but not at the price level of this particular stay. Not horrible, but slightly standoffish in delivery. Also in the reception area are several places to sit and a Starbucks with quite a few tables to work or relax. There are two elevators and they require room key activation to reach the guest floors. The main entrance doors operate the same way after hours which means security on the guest floors should be good. The elevators are pretty old and sometimes a little slow! As I mentioned, the building is slim in design and so the guest floors are small. Surprisingly so I thought. We were on the 10th floor and I assume all floors are the same, and they only house 7 rooms. Nothing wrong with that of course but it means that the hotel is actually quite small, but this means the floors are quite quiet. At least they were on our visit. The room itself was on the small side too, but formulaic for a chain hotel and perfectly comfortable. The bathroom has a walk in shower that is much to be preferred to an unusable tub, and seems to increasingly be the norm these days thank goodness. The room was fairly modern I thought, with plenty of USB ports to charge the ubiquitous electronics with which we all travel. This isn't a full service hotel, so no lounge or dining room and your Bonvoy status, often so valuable in Marriott properties, doesn't seem to buy you a whole lot here. However, this is a nice place to stay and I would certainly do so again, but know what you are getting for the price. This is NYC at a peak time after all.

“Clean and comfortable—but, the rooms are showing their age.”

This property really needs a refresh or a renovation; our room just felt old and stuffy. The room was small and cramped — try opening the closet and bathroom doors at the same time, but we were on a high floor with a view which was nice. The lobby is small and uninviting.

This property really needs a refresh or a renovation; our room just felt old and stuffy. The room was small and cramped — try opening the closet and bathroom doors at the same time, but we were on a high floor with a view which was nice. The lobby is small and uninviting. But, the location is great, especially for walking access to SoHo and Tribeca — lots of dining and shopping options only minutes away on foot. Overall, even though I am loyal Marriott customer, I would not likely stay here again.
