Okay so I think I'm the first person that's going to give this place a five-star review, and honestly I think they deserve it.
I've stayed in some rather nice places in New York City, and I've stayed in some serious dumps before that only charged me about $80 a night for a room, and this place falls somewhere in the middle. I think the room cost me around $140 for a king size bed, and honestly for that money I feel that I had a very nice stay. Okay the bed wasn't fantastic, but everybody that says a bed was uncomfortable at a hotel is usually comparing it to the bed they have at home and there's not a hotel out there that's going to match it perfectly. The bed here was a little firm had it been a mattress I were trying out I would not have purchased it but it served its purpose very well. I fell asleep on it, I woke up and I was refreshed . There's a little refrigerator in the room, there were plastic cups individually wrapped in the bathroom which is to be expected on a little bit lower end hotel however I actually prefer this. I don't know when the last time that glassware was washed that's typically in the nicer places, the fact that I get to unwrap a fresh cup? I'll take it. I mean it holds water and I drink from it, that's all I'm really expecting out of my cup
The view was kind of crappy because all I could see was the street out front but that's my fault, I could have paid a couple extra bucks to take a look at the river, however I wasn't there to stare out the window. I was there to fall asleep. Air conditioning worked splendidly, I didn't hear any excessive noise out in the hallway, the Continental breakfast in the morning was about what I expected... Nothing fancy or special about it just a couple of waffle makers, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, muffins danishes pastries and the typical semi weak hotel coffee... So yeah about what I expected. I would also like to add that there was a nice older lady who was working the breakfast area trying to keep it stocked and I'm guessing somebody in the back cooking, and between the two they did pretty well. We had the opportunity to talk with her a little bit after we were done eating as it was 9:00 a.m. and breakfast was over, and we of course threw a few dollars in the little tip jar she had sitting there because honestly she was doing very well and it's been my experience that in general people suck. After a morning of grumpy people waking up coming down and trashing her breakfast area she still had a smile on her face.
The lady working the front desk when we checked in and a different girl when we checked out were both pleasant. They both had a smile on their face and we're more than willing to help with anything else we might have needed. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.
I mean like I said, everything about this hotel was pretty much what I was expecting for the price that I paid and the name on the front of the building. If you want better accommodations you're going to have to open up your wallet a little bit wider and book something somewhere else... For the money I paid for this everything was spot on. read more
