Quiet cozy friendly hotel a quick hop to the city
We really enjoyed this cozy boutique hotel. Friendly staff. Quiet and comfortable, with quick ride by Lyft or subway to sights and sounds of NYC (without the noise and bustle when you want to sleep!). There are only a few rooms per floor -- felt like a private apartment. A corner deli about 50 feet from the door, which was handy. The room could use a few more outlets next to the bed and maybe a few more amenities in the kitchenette. But otherwise a great stay.

Great stay! Very walkable to several subway train stations and in a nice area for the immediate radius of the hotel. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room felt more like an apartment than a hotel room, which was extremely comfortable and what we were hoping for!

The hidden fees are outrageous!!
$350 per night incidental deposit
$75 fee to check in early between 12-2
$75 fee per our for late check out fee (Yes Per Hr)
No vending available
The first room we were in didn’t have any outlets next to the bed, only 1 by the tv, so we were upgraded to suite that was better but the electric shades did not cover the windows in its entirety so light came in. Just not a good experience all the way around!

Shockingly good
Shockingly good. Uber driver couldn't find it the first two tries, but once we did it turned out to be a hell of a deal. The lobby doesn't tell the story of the rooms. I'm still shocked we were that close to LaGuardia with so much space, for that price.

The property is a great deal for staying near Manhattan. The rooms a large, well-designed, and modern. The only downside is that the local area is a bit of a dead zone and walking at night doesn't feel very safe. These are not issues if you take the subway out into manhattan to enjoy your time.
