1. Good centrel location for Midtown, only slight downside is the noise, if you want a quieter room you'd be better off with a room at the side or back of the hotel.

"Good city break hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/12/2012 Vote

2. On a slight downside the room and bed was a bit on the small side when you factor in suitcases etc.

"Hidden gem. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/20/2012 Vote

3. The only downside was the room was quite small, and there are quite a few taxes on top of the room rate.

"Great Birthday Treat " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/10/2011 Vote

4. On the downside, everything is a bit miniature even for a petite woman.

"a bit disappointing " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/2/2011 Vote

5. The only downside was the pull-out couch was not very comfortable for the 3rd person to sleep on but was adequate.

"We loved the amenities and easy location. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/24/2011 Vote

6. The only other downside was that the people staying in the room next to us seemed to relish letting the heavy room door slam at every opportunity.

"A Welcome Return Visit " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/25/2011 Vote

7. Our room was a deluxe queen and we thought it was absolutely fine in size, it was imacculately clean and well appointed with a good size bathroom - on the downside our room was at the end of the bulding (furthest from Madison Ave) and backed on to lots of noisy air-con units for both the hotel and other buildings, which seemed louder at 4am when you couldn't get to sleep.

8. I had read all the reviews and thought there must be some downside to the hotel but there isn't.

"Great hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/29/2010 Vote

9. The only downside, if you can even call it that, was that there were not a lot of books for that theme.

"Lovely little hotel, great location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/23/2010 Vote

10. One small downside is that the TV channels seemed limited, although not much time for TV watching so no big deal.

"Samll (by NY standards) but perfectly formed " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/21/2010 Vote
