Room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was the usual standard fare and was a good value. The staff was very friendly - cleaners and breakfast room staff were quick to smile and offer a good morning. The front desk staff was kind.
We were directed outside behind the parking area to take the elevator to our floor due to renovations. That was a little strange but didn't really affect our overall stay.
The area is very walkable and not far from the action of Broadway, but far enough for the room to be peaceful for a city hotel (bearing in mind there is still city "noise" but not unbearable noise. Source: former city dweller who now lives in quiet countryside).
Would stay again.

Front desk staff was super friendly and very accommodating. The room was clean, but we don’t have internet or TV for half of our stay, and the shower made a loud screeching noise while the water was running, which was less than enjoyable.
