ROW NYC
"Quiet, clean, comfortable and great location. Everything was excellent except housekeeping didn’t replenish all of the toiletries, until asked, which they then did promptly. So all was good."

"Insanely hot room, with barely functional AC and elevators that stop at every floor so they take 20 or more minutes. It’s a very convenient location and clean but LOUD and hot and miserable."
