Upon arrival we were greeted very nicely by the friendly hotel staff. Lobby is spacious and updated. Room is modern, updated, clean, bed comfy. Maids very friendly and do an excellent cleaning job.
Asked for a "qiuet" room - we were reassured that our room was on higher floors and faced away from the street (no view, but what would not you give up for a good night sleep, right?), so therefore our room was quiet.
When we got back to the hotel at 10PM - found out that our room is also next to the rooftop bar with loud music blasting into all hours.... So no view AND no quiet - thanks Affinia!
As for the promise of a full kitchen in every room - there is a fancy microwave and a small undercounter refrigerator full of drinks provided by the hotel at outrageous prices.
RARE bar downstairs has really good breakfast.
Did not like hotel location, 4 blocks to subway on the east side - I guess we just like the west side better. Will not stay here again. For $400 a night you can do better even in NYC.
