Clean common area and room, comfy bed (I am 6’5” and slept like a baby), great view from the Empire Terrace Suite. 24 hour gym, vending machines that don’t cost an arm and a leg to get drinks from. Rooftop bar was nice and fairly priced for the area. Walked from Penn station when I arrived via train and it took 10 minutes at a city pace. Many good food options in Koreatown and a market (H-Mart) across the street that also serves food on the second floor. Stayed two nights and left my bags in their secured baggage area while I walked around on my last day after check out until my train arrived. It was extremely convenient not having to carry my belongings around while I passed the time prior to leaving the city.
My ONLY gripe was when I was trying to reach the front desk prior to my arrival (hours I could not reach them. I pressed the correct input and still got routed to central booking who could not help me due to the fact that I booked third party with Expedia. I addressed this with staff when I arrived and they were very apologetic and explained that it had been busy and they assured me that they would be there for any need I had during my stay.
All in all for the price, location, and time of year I would absolutely recommend this location. The view from the terrace suite of the Empire State Building was amazing, the food and drink in the immediate area was affordable and noteworthy ( Jongro BBQ, H-Mart, grace street, and Mochi Mochi- to name a few)
