I landed in the hotel during the hurricane and it was a great stay. Very nice property. The front desk was really accommodating in many ways for people who were stranded and kept their tourists happy. The hotel is quite lovely and the rooms a very nice sized for a big city hotel. Sleek rooms and relatively quiet for a busy part of town. The reason I am even writing this review is as a woman I want others to understand the area. I would say if you are booking please know that the hotel is on a street that is in transition as they say. There are nice places to stay on half the block and sketchy bodegas/video stores on the other end as well as the subway. If you are a city dweller or adults traveling in pairs or a big guy you can certainly walk down the street no worries. I'm not sure a woman or two young women should walk down the block after dark...or at least they might experience the 'grittier' party of NYC. I left the hotel and passed two guys cursing out each other. Didn't bother me but I have also lived here for 25 years. It is in a good location for Broadway shows, 9th avenue ethnic cuisine, the ACE line subway. But it is also across from the GIANT bus hub and all that it attracts, good and bad.
