We had a wonderful experience at the hotel itself. The location is PERFECT for a tourist to NYC, to go to theaters, Times Square, Central Park, and transportation to other sites. The room was super clean and comfortable, the hotel is beautiful, and the hotel employees provided excellent service.
What I must note in my rating, for Airbnb customers, is that I was charged the NY and NYC sales taxes on the room fee via Airbnb, and then the hotel charged me for these AGAIN. The $40+ per night facility fee and associated sales tax SHOULD have been billed to me in addition to the fees paid to Airbnb, but I did not owe double the NY taxes on the room. Watch for this - the hotel did not resolve it for me yet, so I took it up with the credit card company.
