I think the Mave is in a good location. It's very central to many places. Nonetheless, it has only 2 small elevators (one of which was broken during my stay), and no formal lobby. The included breakfast was basically put out in the hallway.. not a good vibe. They'd be better not offering breakfast.
They offer miniscule rooms .. and being that this is Manhattan it was understandable and effectively the bed was comfortable.
The Mave isn't bad... it's just not good and for the price doesn't come across as a value.
