I had a great stay at the hotel! The amazing price, perfect location, and helpful staff definitely make it worth recommending. The room, labeled as a one bedroom but more like a large studio, was comfortable, unique, and well-situated. However, it seemed a bit small and cleanliness could be improved.

The hotel has a charming and cozy warehouse style with spacious rooms and a massive terrace, but lacks some basic 4-star benefits. The service is fantastic, making me feel right at home, but the dining options were not recommendable. The location is perfect, close to Central Park and 5th Avenue, offering a great experience even in busy Manhattan.
