AAA Inspector Notes
Near to many fine restaurants, this landmark property blends colorful Art Nouveau original details with a modernist boutique style. Rooms are appointed with European beddings and toiletry amenities.
Smoke free premises. 244 units. 9 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
Pros: Location was excellent - close to inexpensive and delicious restaurants, drug stores, subway. Easy to get a cab.
Cons: Facilities were being renovated -- lots of active construction in lobby. No coffee maker in room -- coffee and pastries were for sale in lobby, but no tea bags available. No drawers or bureau in room to put items and clothing. No shelves or space on sink in bathroom to place personal items -- had to set up the ironing board for use as a shelf. Mattress was lumpy. Beverages in and snacks on top of refrigerator were for sale at ridiculous mark-up.

Comfortable and friendly.
Pros: The staff at the desk was extremely friendly and helpful.
Cons: The wifi wasn't working--which was a Verizon problem and out of your control, but it meant leaving the building to do any work.

Pros: The coffee and pastry counter was great. The staff was very nice. The hotel is right behind the Museum of Natural History and the park. We asked if we would like to arrange a car to the airport. It was so nice to have a nice ride at the end of a busy trip.
Cons: A dresser of some sort would be nice. Maybe in the closet?

I’d stay there again if...
Pros: Comfortable clean, well thought out space and renovation- mini bar a plus.
Cons: The insulation around the window was poor, hence the radiator heat had to be higher to offset the air coming in from the outside. Not cost effective for the hotel, but on the other hand, fresh air is a good thing for the client. Perhaps a review of this ?

Pros:
Cons: We were 4 people, 3 adult + kid,the room I reserved was very nice in the picture on the booking.com but when we arrived in the hotel the room was very tiny and not for 4 people with 4 luggages. No forniture, just a very small one for maximum 1 person. The bathroom very tiny.
Pros: Excellent bed. Extremely helpful staff. Christopher at front desk was beyond expectations
Cons: Lots of dust under/around the bed. Could be cleaner in places.

Far below expectations; the hotel...
Pros: Location on Broadway was satisfactory but a bit noisy.
Cons: * The bathroom is old, dirty and the appliances are rusted
* Small room size for Delux Duble room in the 4-star hotel (there is no space to leave the suitcases)
* Old, damaged and dirty furniture in the room; does not meet the requirements for a 4-star hotel;
* The heating system was broken and making a big noise (banging every 45 mints). We could not sleep at all;
* No help from reception on the heating system issue;

Great location, great staff, OK...
Pros: The staff was wonderful. Every difficulty I experienced was met with professionalism and a quick response.
Cons: infrastructure is being worked on which is very necessary. Constant problems with the elevators were irritating . I returned one day to standing water in the bathtub and no drainage in the sink. Quickly taken care of, but shouldn't happen in the first place. Received a bill on checkout that was $1,100 more than I expected. Computer glitch and was soon was resolved, but .....

Antiquated, noisy A/C, too pricey
Pros:
Cons: No central air, only noisy window A/C units (and radiators for heating). The hums from all the window A/C units in the building make it feel like you are on an airplane. Difficult to sleep.
Sink in bathroom has many cracks.
There is a small (2") step on the entrance to the bathroom without any warning. Easy to stumble on and hurt you foot.
Tiny glass shelf to place toiletries in the bathroom.
No tissues box in the room.
Noisy cleaning crew (talking to each other loudly in the hallways).
Rates are way too high for what you get.
