I got to the hotel at 9:00 am after traveling all night and was able to check in right away without extra charge.The people at the front desk were very nice. The room was a good size, very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great, close to soho, brooklyn bridge, ground ziro.

But what made... More
