We chose this hotel as it is one of just a few affordable "apartment" style properties in Manhattan FiDi equipped to accommodate a larger family. The hotel is conveniently located near many metro stations, restaurants, bars, grocery stores and other retail businesses without having the added overflow of tourists and 24/7 activity that you would see closer to Times Sq. That said, this property lacks the traditional hotel services ie. housekeeping, restaurant, bar, room service etc that one might expect elsewhere and this may not appeal to all travelers. Although we found the apartment to be sufficiently equipped with kitchen supplies, small appliances, toiletries, linens, washer/dryer and even a vacuum cleaner, we did run into a number of small maintenance issues such as difficult to open kitchen drawers missing handles, a shower door that leaked badly, a bathroom door that didn't close properly and an A/C system that seemed to have a mind of its own and never functioned properly for our entire stay. Not surprisingly, we also found our bedrooms to be tiny and lacking in closet/storage space and/or dressers which meant we basically had to live out of our suitcases. We were, however, in agreement that the beds were very comfortable. The sofa bed was hard to pull out and seemed very firm to the touch, but turned out to be by far the best hotel sofa bed I have used in my many decades of travel. We did not experience any of the noise issues others here have mentioned.
