Nice room with 2 beds, large enough for our family of 3. Well located and quiet. Fairly good service. They give a small treat each day you stay, a soft drink or small bag of chips. It’s no big deal, just that they refused to give the third one… So cheap and easy to fix for full satisfaction. Would go back!

Great location - we walked to many major attractions. Loved the neighborhood- not as loud as Times Square or other parts of midtown
