This hotel is a dump. Heat didn't work in the room, so they gave us a space heater. The room was advertised at 375 sq. ft. ("Corner King") and was maybe 200 sq. ft. at best. The front desk would do nothing, said to complain to the manager via e-mail which I did, and she never responded. No dresser or drawers for clothes (in an upgraded room!) The bathroom smaller than a closet. STAY AWAY!!!

Just ok. Small room which wasn’t a huge issue for us, but it was noisy. We could hear neighbors talking, people in hallway, and traffic outside. The restaurant looked great but we didn’t have time to eat. Not the worst we’ve stayed at but certainly not the best.

I don't think the room warranted the price. The room was quite small with a single bed which was fine for me. Although I believe I was charged the same price as larger rooms.

I highly suggest to clean windows. Bathrooms should be upgraded. Bathroom looked very outdated and looked gray. Street noise was extremely loud at night.

We loved that we could go down to the cafe to grab a quick drink and breakfast before starting our day. It was cozy and perfect for the two night stay we planned.

Great Gramercy location convenient to various MTA lines & Mad Sq. Park. Nice large room (for NYC standards) w/ great bed & bathroom. Good options for dining & drinks too; did brunch @ Comodo, coffee & snacks @ Smile & cocktails @ both rooftop bar & Calico. Hot water was an issue one morning, as was some noise/reverb from the mezzanine night club on Sat. Night.
