This hotel is very new and is fabulous as far as room cleanliness, decor, location. It's one block from the subway stop and one subway stop away from Penn Station on the 1 train. The King bed rooms have the best rooms as they are offer a better city view than the double rooms. As written by previous reviewers, make sure you don't get a room on the top floor as the noise from the rooftop bar is ridiculously annoying. Free breakfast (part of package) was nothing to brag about, especially given the price difference from that of a normal-priced room. You'd be better off going out to the streets of NY for something to eat. My biggest gripe with this hotel, having stayed here before and having experienced the same issue, is their need for 'tips' for just about everything. We arrived early and our room wasn't ready. No problem; we left our bag in the luggage room--tip needed. We came back, checked in, and found that our bags had to be 'delivered' to room even though we were standing there and could easily have wheeled them up ourselves--another tip needed. We asked for an extra set of towels to be delivered to room since we didn't get the extra set we had requested, and then left for dinner. No towels upon return. Asked for them again and left to go out for evening. No towels for the second time. Finally figured out that they wouldn't deliver them since there was no one there to give a tip! Ice bucket--tip needed. Bottle opener--tip needed. In conclusion, I would certainly recommend this hotel, but just be aware that you need to have lots of small bills in your pocket for the tipping. It was also disappointing to learn that they have done away with the mini cupcakes upon check-in. This was something that set this hotel apart from others.
