Still a favorite!
My stays in New York City are usually for business and usually just one night at a time. All I'm ever looking for is a clean quiet and safe place to sleep for the night. This hotel ticks all the boxes.

The hotel was clean, tidy, functional and great for a short stay. We actually recommended it directly to a friend who came and joined us there and also enjoyed their stay.
