“In my opinion, the location is a major draw, placing guests near the Empire State Building and multiple transit options. The art-centric décor creates a distinct atmosphere, and the rooftop bar appears to be a popular spot. While rooms may vary in size and some past guests mention service inconsistencies, the hotel's central location and unique style make it a worthy consideration.”
