It doesn't jump out at you from the curb but it was everything I needed for a quick, quiet, clean trip in and out of NYC.

Every day brought a new little surprise: unreplenished coffee pods, a taken but unreplaced bathrobe, or a dirty bedsheet left on the floor in the corner.

A slow check-in6 of 2871 in 48 reviews
Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because we didn’t receive our room until 5:30, when check in was @ 3:00…

Just don’t bother with the whole early check-in process; it takes time and doesn’t work.
