Great location. A block from fifth avenue, friendly staff, rooftop pool, big rooms with 10ft ceilings and great balconies. While some other reviewers have mentioned the noise level from the street is very loud we did not find that to be the case, if you are used to complete silence when you sleep maybe it would be an issue but if you live in a large city the noise isnt really even noticeable. The hotel does provide earplugs in the room in case the noise is too much. Beautiful newly renovated rooms, we had the king room, note the shower is glass and faces the room, which is great for a couple maybe not so much for friends. Very secure area, 24 hr 711 store a block away, several cafes and restaurants and a pharmacy immediately around the hotel. Check in is easy and fast.
