We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The location is ideal, just about a 10-minute walk from the heart of Soho and very well connected by subway. The view over the buildings was incredible — we especially loved the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which really allowed us to fully enjoy the city skyline. We highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again on our next trip to New York.
