This hotel was beautiful!! The aroma when you entered was definitely patchouli. One of my favs!! The staff were amazing, the view was literally everything I wanted it to be. I checked off one of my bucket list “to dos” which was, stay at a “fancy” hotel with floor to ceiling windows, close enough to the fire works, that I could see from my bed, with a rooftop. I am soooo happy Arlo made that happen for my daughter and I!! We were in room 2510, 25th floor with the most breath taking view of the fire works. If you are planning to come for the 4th next year, I’d ask for one of those room on that side of the hotel, facing the east river, 25th floor and up!! We will definitely be back!! The rooms were NY size, so not huge, but beautiful. It was perfect for the 2 of us!! I’ll be back with my partner so we can enjoy the rooftop as adults and floor to ceiling windows, I CANT WAIT!!!
