This property was a mixed experience. It was clean and had new or stylish features, but it also badly needed a fresh coat of paint. It's vibe, which is really nice if you're into it, is of a dark jazz club --nicely unique. The staff were pleasant and the manager was very helpful in resolving a room issue at check-in.
Since I have sensitivities to odors/perfumes as well as to molds, it's an issue I wish I'd known before I booked a room here. Either the cleaners they use, or the building itself, had a fairly strong, peculiar odor to it. It didn't bother my husband, it did bother me. The suite I initially booked is located in the basement, and that quickly had me feeling nauseous. The manager quickly and graciously switched us to a very nice room on the upper floors. The smells were less (not absent) and I could open the window for fresh air so I felt better enough to stay.
The breakfast was convenient, but not tasty. The location is great, including close to the subway station. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The property is somewhat quirky, but not all in bad ways; in fact, has some bit of charm.
