Great hotel located on W 50 St between 8th Ave and Broadway! Upon pulling up, you'll notice the outside decor- it's very different and unlike any other hotel I've seen. Enter through the revolving door and head over to the check in kiosk area. That's right, no typical front desk here, but a table with about 8 tablets. You check-in easily via the screen, however, an employee is there to help walk you through each step. When I checked in, KAYLEE helped me. She was so professional, sweet, and efficient. She set the tone for this hotel, and it was a great way to start off the stay!
I got my key, which you have to use to use the elevator, and went up to my room on the 10th floor. These rooms are tight, a little more so than usual even for NYC, but it was clean and modern! An iPad welcomes you by name, and is used to control everything in the room- TV, blinds, AC, and most fun- the lighting! The odd shaped bathroom has neon lighting abilities with many color options that you access via the iPad. Kind of fun to play around with!
The bed is inserted under the window- and the suggest sleeping a specific way if there are two guests v. one. The mattress was SUPER comfortable, but the pillows were sad. Also, I could not get over the shower, which shared the floor with the rest of the bathroom, only separated from the toilet by a tiny little shower curtain. It was like adding a baby shower to an airplane bathroom. Even the sink is located outside of the bathroom because it doesn't fit inside. You have to see it for yourself!
I was in NYC for a business trip and was staying by myself. I ended up adding a late check-out to my stay the next morning, which was great. I was able to have the room until 6pm. It was nice to come back and shower and change after my business meetings and lunch before my flight back home. I selected this hotel as it was near my meetings, and I would definitely stay here more! Again, good property, clean rooms, and honestly, Kaylee was wonderful upon checking in. They're lucky to have her representing their brand!
