Hotel is in an excellent location and staff were very helpful throughout our entire stay! The chrome cast feature was very good as we were able to use this to watch Netflix, YouTube, etc during the evenings. The luggage storage and common room was very useful to have once we checked out, also! It was very handy to be able to check in and out ourselves as this meant less hassle.
Unfortunately my sleep was disrupted by the sound of banging coming from the roof (we were on the 15th floor so there we no rooms above us), every night for hours. The room wasn’t very well insulated due to the older windows so I often woke up in the night and had to turn the heater on, which is impossible to sleep with whilst it’s on because it’s so loud! The room was tidy but not very well cleaned, there was dust and clumps of hair under the desks, and the shower and sink shelves still had hardened soap residue on them. The bedding also had a 3 inch rip at the top. Although the hotel is in a very good location, I didn’t feel safe walking down John St (the street that the hotel is on) as there were high/drunk people lingering around the entranceway and urinating on the pavement right next door to the building.
The hotel was good for its value but unfortunately I wouldn’t stay here again if I were to return to New York in the future.
