Excellent, fast, and professional service. The property was in excellent condition. It's one of the nicest rooms I have ever been in. Absolutely loved the shower. It was large and had a rain head as well. I look forward to staying here again.

The entire stay was incredible and the staff was some of the best we’ve ever had on all our travels. And this is some feat considering it’s New York City. Honestly, we would never have done the review if our incredible waiter Milton had not handed us the review card with his name on it.

He did such a lovely job of waiting on us with a great sense of humor and smile that we had no choice, but to honor him by filling this out. Read less

Brittany (favorite artist Missy Elliot) did a fantastic job of making us feel special at check in. She provided some special perks for my mom and made our experience so special. Thank you, Brittany! The hotel was also very nice and our room had a spacious balcony. Loved the little touches. 10/10!

The service from check in to check out was first rate. It’s close to Times Square but the rooms are incredibly quiet and spacious. The hotel pays attention to detail in all aspects of the stay. I’ve stayed in 5 star hotels in NY and HR is better!! I recommend the hotel to anyone wanting to relax and be near the best parts on NYC!
