    Great location and value. Helpful staff and comfy bed & linens.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    If travelers are only looking for a very clean, newly renovated room for a reasonable price , this can work. Issues-the room was too small- the size of a bed with 2 end tables. Please at least add space for 1 chair and perhaps a luggage rack and room to open luggage. The lobby has no character and leaves no desire to sit there. A rooftop bar photo was on the website but it doesn’t exist yet, nor is there a restaurant. We took the elevator to the top floor and were very disappointed. I didn’t see a hair dryer. Barely room to move in the shower and touching the shower curtain while trying to bathe was never in my plans. I believe valet parking to the nearby ” available parking” as advertised did not exist. Please make a few improvements.

    Good location

    Was my first time at the hotel and the area of Guwanus, beautiful, great location to restaurants stores parks very nice

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was good, price was fair, location was great. A broken A/C unit was a pity, though the offer to refund 50% was appreciated. Communication was terrible, I emailed several times with zero response.

    Nothing, it was a scam. The pictures are not what the place actually looks like. It’s dirty, broken, smelly. The moment we entered the lobby we noticed it had nothing to do with the pictures posted on booking. Everything is run down, the hotel smells horrible. We still went up to the room to check it out, the hallway smelled rancid, the room was dirty and dusty. The sink was broken. It was obviously a scam. We had to book another hotel immediately

    Overall, my experience was mixed. On the positive side, the hotel's location was convenient, the bed was comfortable, the shower is good and the staff were friendly and welcoming However, there are several areas that I feel need improvement. The room felt overpriced for its size — it was small and did not offer good value for the rate charged. The bathroom sink was also very small, causing water to spill out when brushing teeth, which was inconvenient. Additionally, the coffee station in the lobby was frequently empty and never restocked during my stay. The TV was terrible, there is no local channels and most of them are pay channels. Most notably, housekeeping was not provided — my room was not cleaned, the bed was not made, and no fresh towels were left, which was disappointing for the price point.

    The staff were very helpful, but the room was way more bare bones than i expected. First floor rooms are noisy due to the proximity to the lobby.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable minimalist room.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms have portable AC units & on hot days its awful inside the room. Simply doesnt blow cold enough. Couple in room next to me left 20 mins into their stay because the air conditioning was awful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I would definitely recommend this hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel/room was very clean with friendly staff. It is also very close to the 'R' line subway station. The hotel was very quiet and close enough to the areas we wanted to visit. The bed was very comfortable. New York is expensive - the small room size was expected but did provide challenges.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. The only problem I had was the door to my balcony didn’t lock, so I had a little rough time sleeping as

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall this stay was fine. Nice bed and clean. Expect a small room. Very close to Union station stop. The noise really got to me by the last day. The front desk running the vacuum at 7:30 am after a night of people coming home at 11, 2 am, 4am and starting to leave for their day at 6 am. The doors are a heavy slam. I was in a room on the same floor as the front desk and I could hear everything they say at that desk. It was a no sleep weekend until I found my earplugs.

    Proximity to Metro No notes

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The facilities are good, and the staff is very kind. The hotel is very near from a metro railway station. In total, it’s very much cost-efficient.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This was a no-frills place and that's what was expected. We just needed a bed, bathroom and coffee and that's what we got. The hotel and the room were clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the price was very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. The staff was very friendly, helpful and always asking how we were doing. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I'm sure to book there next time I go back to NY.
