The Arlo Nomad is by far the best hotel room for couples. The room is very small but the view of the city makes you forget about the room entirely. Next time I visit NYC I will definitely be staying at the Arlo Nomad again. The Rooftop was open for pictures but the bar area was shut down due to Covid restrictions.
Also if you look at the pictures listed by Arlo, you might notice the Empire State Building being viewable from the sky room(s). However, the building does have rooms facing the opposite direction so you may or may not get that particular view. Our room was facing the opposite direction but we still really enjoyed our stay and will be visiting again. You can't go wrong with this place.
