I had a delightful stay at the hotel thanks to Sheila at the front desk, whose exceptional customer service made me feel welcomed immediately. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I did feel they lacked some character and warmth in their decor. I also appreciated the hotel's prime location in East Village, which made accessing attractions and dining spots a breeze. Additionally, the dining experience at the on-site bar provided a cozy atmosphere, although the prices for breakfast were quite high. Overall, it's a solid place to stay with a few minor areas to improve.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Sheila at the front desk was absolutely amazing, making my check-in a breeze and giving me great recommendations for local dining. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I was a bit disappointed that mine wasn't serviced on the second day. The dining options at the restaurant were good, but I found the breakfast prices a tad high for what was offered. Overall, it's a cozy hotel with superb staff and beautiful views, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel, with the highlight being Sheila's exceptional customer service at the front desk, which really set the tone for my visit. The rooms were not only clean but also comfortable, providing a much-needed restful experience. I loved the stunning decor and the engaging atmosphere around the property, especially the lively bar scene. However, I found dining options a bit on the pricier side, which was a letdown considering the overall expense of my stay.
