Beautiful building and felt very safe. Overall, good experience and would stay again for the price.
Pros:
- very accessible to many major subway lines
- key code access for rooms and common spaces worked very well
- maintenance and cleaning staff very helpful and kind
- water bottles and candy provided at entrance regularly
- located right at beautiful area of battery park
- room was clean and well-kept
- staff was responsive and helpful when issues arose.
- toiletries and kitchen utensils plentiful
Cons:
- building is right up against the Carey tunnel, so you have to walk a few blocks in any direction for coffee, restaurants, etc.
- amenities such as co-working space and lounge were smaller than pictured
- residents commonly played loud music - definitely recommend this building for a younger crowd only
- some appliances did not work reliably (heater was very loud and needed to be turned off at night and certain settings on the dryer (including “normal” did not function)
- front desk support varied significantly depending on who was working. (i.e. in person reservations required to access gym, some staff unwilling to help book a reservation 15 minutes in advance to avoid multiple trips to the downstairs lobby, while others went above and beyond)
