I still get irked about hotels charging a "resort fee" that really don't provide any additional amenities. Check-in and Check-out were quick and painless. I was a late arrival and got a room next to the elevator. The room was overall clean but a lot of things could be upgraded / repaired such as the upper door latch that had loose screws, the toilet paper holders that kept falling off, and the wallpaper in the bathroom peeling back so you could see behind the floor tile. They have a nice eating area downstairs where they used to serve breakfast (but don't anymore) and a rooftop where you can go up and look around but there were always smokers there. The A/C / heater unit kept the room toasty for November but seemed to overheat at one point and had to be turned off for a couple hours before it would come back on. Overall it was adequate but could use some repairs and updating. While it's better priced compared to other lower Manhattan properties, it still seemed a little overpriced with virtually no amenities.

An older hotel that could use some updating. A guess would be it was part of a hotel chain at on time now a smaller ownership. However the staff, and all the basic fundamentals work great. I would stay again.

Some up keep needed in the bathroom

Not "family friendly" at all. The shower was all glass with two walls completely exposed to the inside of the room (no privacy at all) and the other two similarly exposed to the buildings across the way, save for some thin curtains. This also meant that the room was flooded with light all night long. We had requested a crib for our 2-year-old, and called twice (including the morning of our stay) to confirm it would be there. When we arrived, we were told "it will be brought up soon", but it never arrived. I called the front desk, and was told that the crib they wanted to bring us was "in poor condition" and that no other one was available. I asked: "Where do you expect the toddler to sleep, then?" and was told: "We're very sorry. Call back tomorrow, and we can waive some fees or something.". Of course, the next day, they would do no such thing. The toddler slept in the bed with me and my wife, and we each had the worst night's sleep we can recall for years. The room was small, and nowhere near as nice as in the photos online, though I'll give them a star for being clean, at least. Our whole floor reeked of weed, and people were slamming the door to the balcony constantly throughout the night. A final thought: at $600 /night, I expected better than 1-ply toilet paper.
