The pros are very strong, but the cons are also very strong. Consider both!
Pros:
- Location. Amazing location. Like two blocks from the Empire State building. While walking, I "accidentally" stumbled across Madison Square Park. So beautiful. This is truly a prime location!
- friendly staff. Everyone I encountered was polite and helpful.
- Comfy bed.
- Reliable WiFi
- Amazing water pressure in the shower, even at among the highest floor!
Cons:
- No AC in room, and even with windows and balcony door cracked, I was sweating all night long and hard to sleep.
- While the sheets and towels seemed cleaned, everything else was very, very dirty. Many left over hairs in the shower, a dirty film and spots on the toilet seat that required wiping down before using, the walls and baseboards were absolutely filthy.
- There were literal holes in the wall, scuffs and scrapes everywhere, very run down and not maintained. The shower head was wiggly and loose. The "privacy film" on the window in the bathroom was peeling off, right where you sit on the toilet, so everyone can get a free show into your personal bathroom matters. I could see a guy across the street working on his computer while sitting there lol not ideal.
Summary:
For the price and room accomodations, I expected more in terms of cleanliness and being more maintained. But I'm not from NYC, so maybe that's just the expectation, high priced "botique" hotels that are very run down and not maintained and dirty. *shrug*
