Fodor's Review:

Although a budget-price hotel is certainly welcome in the often-pricey Bloomingdale's neighborhood, service complaints sometimes outweigh the low prices here. On the other hand, there are reasons to stay here, starting with the free cappuccino offered round-the-clock in the pocket-size lobby library. Rooms are relatively large compared to other hotels in the same price category. Sheets are Belgian, toiletries are boutiquey -- the whole place is reminiscent of a small European hotel. Noise can sometimes be a problem on the lowest floors, so request a high floor, preferably with a view of the East River. The 21st-floor restaurant has wonderful river and city vistas.

No rooms available for the price listed here. Did get an upgrade to a junior suite. Request a room on one of the upper floors. We've stayed twice on the 20th floor, and loved the quiet. Very nice hotel, we enjoy the rooftop bar and the views.

My room wasn't sound proofed. The hot water didn't work the first evening I was there. Early in the morning workmen were trying to fix the water problem in the room next to me. I had a sleepless night and checked out right away. The furniture was scuffed and falling apart.
