My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and quiet, but a bit small with some cleanliness issues under the bed. However, the hotel's location had some drawbacks and was not as expected for the price. The dining options were basic and overpriced without the convenience of a proper kitchen.

The room I stayed in was clean and quiet, offering a considerably larger space compared to my previous stay. I liked the open layout, although I noticed some dust and crumbs under the bed, which was a bit disappointing.

Service

9.0

The staff was consistently friendly and professional, always polite and ready to assist. The night clerk went above and beyond to help us find food when we arrived late and tired. The service was a highlight of my stay.

Location

6.0

The hotel's proximity to Riverside Drive was convenient for my meeting. However, the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy and not up to my expectations. On the positive side, it was walking distance to the subway and some good restaurants.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while providing thoughtful amenities like a fridge, complimentary water bottles, and Bliss toiletries, felt dated and in need of a refresh. Unfortunately, I kept sneezing throughout my stay in the room.

The room had some nice features like the fridge and complimentary water bottles, but it definitely needs a makeover.

The staff at the hotel were absolutely wonderful and incredibly welcoming. They went above and beyond to track down my tablet and had it ready for me upon my return. Their attention to detail was terrific, and they made check-in a breeze.

Location

7.0

The location of the hotel was a bit far for me as I didn't use the metro, resulting in high Uber costs to reach destinations like Times Square. Despite this, the proximity to great spots like the Apollo Theater and eateries such as Harlem Shake, Red Rooster, and Sylvia's was a plus.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience at the hotel was okay but not exceptional. I found the options to be limited and not worth the price compared to what I could get elsewhere for less.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were lacking, especially with no proper kitchen to cook in. Additionally, basic items like breakfast foods that are typically free at motels came with an extra cost.

My stay here was amazing! The room was very comfortable, although there were some dents on the wall. The service was extremely helpful and informative, but they couldn't fix the TV. The location, while nice and quiet, could use a little updating. The dining experience at Refuel with the free breakfast was delicious. Overall, a great value for the price!
