Solo stay

The hotel lobby and restaurants are nice, but the hotel itself is kind of old and dingy. The room they put me in was very dark, facing the interior of the building, and even with all of the lights on, it was just super dark in there, which is pretty depressing. The look of the hallways is also just dark, claustrophobic, and old. I've visited the restaurants on this property before, and would have expected the rooms and facilities to be much more updated than they are.

The bed in our room was sunken in on one side where it seems most people sleep. The lighting in the hotel was dim, probably for a vibe but it made it hard to see things. There’s no ice machine and after walking around the city, having ice for cold drinks would be nice. The staff was friendly and the place had a cool ambiance. It was close to the subway so getting around was easy. They do have a water station and two adjoining restaurants, which helped when we didn’t want to figure out where to do for food.

This is not a four star hotel. The rooms are small and worse, they're badly designed. No luggage rack, no cups / glasses in the room. Sink is too small to fit a water bottle. One water machine in lobby takes forever.

The hotel was great, they have a great rooftop bar, coffee shop, and pizzeria all at the hotel so made things very easy! Would stay here again. My only complaint is that they may need to get double panes windows as it can get quite loud with the sirens outside.

The room was freezing cold. We tried to set the temperature to a higher one bit kept waking up cold and nothing changed. Also the room was nothing like the photos in the website. It was tiny and there was barely any day light.
