A good value. Rooms could benefit from an upgrade, but still okay
I will never go there again ! Noisy, VERY NOISY ! Bring very goor ear plugs if you want to TRY to sleep in the night! With the aircon ON is like having an airplane engine in the room. Turning off the aircon , the fan continue to make noise. Then if you unplug the aircon (as I did) you will surprisingly continue to ear the 'airplane like noise' ! In fact the windows are is so bad condition that you will ear the aircons noise of the other rooms so strong as it was in your room! Asking the other colleagues sleeping in the same hotel, they reported the same issue! In addition the room is very small and the bathroom so old that either if it's one block from Central park, it's really a bad hotel ! They should renew it now because it seems that during the last 30 years NOTHING HAS BEEN renewed !
Excellent location and housekeeping. AC worked but didn’t get cold enough to be comfortable. Nice rooftop area with one-lane covered pool. Room was in need of updates and view was of another rooftop and building—no visible sky etc. Restaurant inside hotel is closed. Very friendly staff. Biggest plus for me was the location—right across from Lincoln Center.
Pros. location
Cons. there was literal brown water coming from both the sink and shower
