A welcome retreat in Washington Heights
The only hotel in the Washington Heights area, offering very good value for those that need access to the nearby NYC Presbyterian hospital or Columbia facilities. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, cozy and all the amenities worked. Bathroom was fine, everything was very clean. Maid service each day. The front staff was very friendly and accommodating, always greeting you with a smile. They also brought up a mini fridge which made our extended 2-week stay much more comfortable. The neighborhood looks rough--and it probably is later at night--but it has a lot of character. There's lots of food places, a supermarket, even a Target all within walking distance. The subway is a three minute walk down the street.
The air conditioner cooled, but it didn't seem cool enough. Those appliances make noise, something I'm not a fan of. But it never got too hot. And the windows opened and let in cool air.

Nice hotel with grea view and good staff but can get loud.
The view, the staff, the amenities.
The fact that you have a fan running non stop in the bathroom, it can get loud especially at night.

Great value and location and not far from the bustling downtown, but a nice area to have some peace
Good location, close to the subway, small room but had everything we needed. Since we were staying 6 days they gave us a fridge for the room too! Staff was so kind and helpful and got us anything we needed and answered all questions and needs quickly. Above and beyond!

I didn't understand the heating system.

Comfortable stay in a lovely, well run hotel
Modern, clean, thoughtful touches and close to amenities. It was ideal for my short stay helping to settle my daughter into accommodation nearby. The reception team were very friendly and helpful and the room was beautifully clean with a fabulous view of the New York skyline.
A small fridge might be useful.

My trip was very relaxing.
The receptionist on February at the Desk when I got there at after 3 in the afternoon was very helpful and welcoming. Needed to book an extra day and he went the extra mile to help me do so.
Can not think of anything .

A bit far from the city center (I knew it before booking), but the metro station is only few steps far from hotel entrance. The view from our room at 11th floor was fantastic.

Been there before. Clean, friendly, half size hotel. Close to Columbia Medical Center. Restaurants were great. Shout out to Havana around 174st. Great dinner.
Price could be better, no parking.

Very well located (close to the subway station), comfortable , clean . But the pricing was too expensive for me
Very close to the subway station (trains A and 1) Nice view One of the receptionist was really nice and welcoming (unfortunately I dont know his name)
a bit expensive for what it is there are some snacks and drinks available for a fee, i didnt ask for the price right away but then i saw the huge amount to pay.. just for some chocolate bars and drinks. If i knew i would have gone to the closest supermarket. I understand the prices in a hotel are higher than outside but this was way too expensive ! Be careful with the prices

Always nice to stay at the hotel.

Sound between rooms is very porous. I could hear even whispers in the room next door.
