The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the view from the room can be stunning once the sky clears, be cautious of crane obstruction blocking the scenery. The room itself was a bit chilly, but the location near Union Square is undeniably beautiful.

The view from the room can be breathtaking once the sky clears, but beware of obstructing cranes affecting the scenery. The room temperature was a bit on the cold side.
Service
6.0
The service had its highs and lows. While some staff members were fantastic and professional, there were instances of rudeness and lack of assistance, especially with the card swiping machine.

The hotel's location across from Union Square is convenient, making it easy to access the underground station and eateries. It's excellent for exploring the city and close to business areas.
Dining

The dining experience was decent, with some simple options available, but the quality didn't match the price. The ongoing 'renovation' meant a lack of breakfast and a noisy atmosphere.
Facilities

The hotel offers basic facilities with some hit and miss occurrences. Entrance doors might or might not be held open for you, which can be inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms facing the backside were in need of an upgrade and felt a bit small and cold, but the location was ideal for my city activities. The service was a letdown due to rude behavior, but the lounge area was comfy for relaxation. The dining options were decent but could be improved for the price. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel offers nice, modern-looking rooms but they are a little dated. The view from the upper floors was interesting, although the rooms are in need of a complete upgrade. The housekeeping staff was very attentive. The service was a mix of casual conversations amongst themselves and appropriate measures taken for guest convenience. The location is superb, near Times Square but a bit pricey for the value. The dining experience was not pleasant during the renovation, feeling like a lower-priced hotel in NJ.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was spacious and flooded with light, which was great. The location was fantastic with easy access to various attractions, but be cautious with the room selection. The service was efficient, especially in resolving any issues. The dining options were delicious, although limited due to ongoing renovations. The facilities were good but could use some updating.
