Cleanliness7.2Mixed sentiment: multiple guests report dated smell, carpet and general cleanliness issues; a few guests found rooms clean.
Service7.5Mixed: several complaints about unfriendly reception and poor handling of disputes/charges, but individual staff members (e.g., the service manager Kristin Plaza) and some front-desk staff received praise.
Location9.4Consistently praised as ideal: central to Times Square, close to metro, restaurants and meetings.
Room quality9.0Positive: rooms described as modern, spacious for NYC and with comfortable beds.
Amenities8.9Generally good (rooftop, attractive lobby), though some missing or problematic in-room amenities noted (no coffee machine in room, issues with hairdryer/fixtures).
Value for money6.6Negative: multiple reports of large/unjustified charges, deposit holds and smoking fees that hurt perceived value.
Food and drink7.8Mixed: breakfast is included and acceptable for some, but guests reported lack of variety, long queues due to events and poor handling of allergies/intolerances.
Overall experience9.2Generally positive overall due to excellent location and rooms and some standout staff, but notable service/charging and cleanliness issues tempered the stay.
