TV and WiFi didn’t work properly for entirety of trip. Severe mold discovered in first room, and we were itchy the entire trip from how dirty it was. Omar one of the managers comped us a night off but the previous manager we spoke to only offered an amenity fee of $100 off so we had to circle back to get this. The first refund the first manager promised didn’t come through fully to the amount he promised and it amounted to $73 dollar refund.

My room had no ac not a big deal for most but i have a medical condition where i have seizures. Heat makes things worse and can trigger a seizure with my room being 87°F it did just that i had 2 seizures. I had repeatedly asked for it to be fixed or to be given another room and nothing happened. I will never stay at this hotel again and will be reporting all NYC code violations to the proper authorities and consult my attorneys in this matter. This hotel put my life in jeopardy

Nice historic, arty hotel in Gramercy/Mad Sq. area. 2nd time staying here & while a little loud sometimes (mezzanine club & rooftop bar)- its a great location & fun setting. Murals in all rooms, great beds, custom lighting/furniture & bathrooms. Little issue w/ water temp-pressure one AM & 1 of 3 elevators was down a bit leading to lobby queues, but great staff & will def. Stay there again.

This is a great hotel and the staff and common areas are great. The rooms are updated and, while small, are good for the price. Outside of the reception and first floor areas, the common areas are dated but fine. There is a great coffee shop on the first floor.

The room was quaint and adorable. I loved the decor, and the uniqueness of Three's Company room. It was small, but that's typical for NYC. My only complaint is that a room for three, only had two hooks in the bathroom. Otherwise the location was great, near multiple subway lines, and the bars on location were a great experience. It was perfect for our needs.

The hotel has a wonderful aesthetic, and two adjacent restaurants which are really convenient. There’s no room service but you can order take out and pick it up literally next to the lobby. The only downside for me was the noisyness. My room was on the third story facing the main street and it was noisy every night until 3-4 AM. If you’re a light sleeper, you will definitely need ear plugs.
