Reason of 9.4 overall rate
The hotel was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay. Everything felt brand new, with a thoughtfully designed setup throughout the property. The complimentary breakfast was surprisingly impressive, especially considering it served all 390 rooms. We'd definitely return—just as long as we're using Uber or the subway!

Very clean hotel. Great free breakfast with lots of options and everything was labeled with allergens, which I appreciated. The shower had extremely low water pressure and without a door or curtain, it felt very cold. Hard to wash thick hair.
Beds were very comfortable. Towels were soft and a nice size.
