I had to find a last-minute hotel, and this was the most reasonable option within reasonable travel distance to Midtown. The hotel exceeded my expectations on almost every front, particularly the room. Although very small—common in urban hotels these days—it had an extremely well-thought-through and highly functional layout. (The bed was also very comfortable.) The front desk staff were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Surprisingly, the location worked much better than I had expected—the subway is a three-minute walk, and since it has two express lines, the trip to/from Midtown was surprisingly quick.
