The staff was fabulous. Great area and close to 5th Avenue

Room was clean and the bed was firm but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a sofa or soft chairs to watch TV. Instead there is a bed, two hard chairs and a small kitchen table. Two of the floor to ceiling patio doors slide open providing good access. Balcony has two folding chairs and a small table. Our room faced the rear of the building that is shaded by trees providing some privacy and an opportunity to watch local birds who like to perch on the branches. There is a Yoga studio below and you can sometimes hear people talk and some music but it didn't bother us. The kitchen includes utensils for two people and two frying pans but no pots. There is a coffee maker, a toaster and a microwave. The fridge is full-sized and there is a 2-element hot plate for cooking. Bring your own sugar, salt, pepper, etc... We did have a couple of issues. The deadbolt would not lock from the inside. We reported it to the manager but he was not helpful so we had to rely on the outside lock (this should be fixed). We also found the building a bit noisy which is mostly due to the walls being concrete and the ceramic tile floors. Expect to hear some noise from the hallways and nearby stairs (doors slamming, people talking, etc...), especially at night. The rooftop amenities are limited (3 lounge chairs, 3 day beds, 3 hammocks) but there is a separate sitting area, plus tables and chairs next to the grilling stations (2). It was always very busy up on the roof.

Amazing employees. Location is great, laundry available always a plus for me.

The place was wonderful in the room very clean and comfortable. The hallways and elevator are not air conditioned. The elevator was broken the last 2 days of my stay I was in room 402 which is 5 flights of stairs, the lobby is not floor 1. The cooking pans are very cheap and the cook top has no instructions on how to operate. It’s different than any I’ve ever used before. The pool was very popular although I never used it.
