This place is THE SPOT. Best rooms, amenities, vibe, staff, neighbourhood. Tonnes going on, access to everywhere, epic views of The Hudson, the Japanese omakase restaurant on the roof was the best expression fo this cuisine I've ever tasted. Sake pairing too. I'll stay here every NY visit, ad infinitum.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was amazed with the reception from staff, especially from a gentleman called John when I first arrived. The rooms were exceptionally clean and were updated in terms of technology. I was impressed with the Mirror gym equipment in my room which allowed me to work out first thing in the morning. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel!

In a ‘king superior room’ on the 12 floor with a northeast view (#1203) at a rate of mote than $700 per night, the air conditioning, despite being turned off, continues emitting a continuos high frequecy sound non stop keeping you awake all night, preventing skeep. Serious housekeeping should have identified the problem prior to making the room available. We called the front desk who proposed to sent a technician who never showed up. After a second call one hour later, a technician came by , confirmed the high frequency noise problem but could not and could not solve it. The front desk daid they could not offer another room because the hotel is said to be full.

On a side note, the music a of the bar at the 14th floor can still be heard at the 12th floor, but the nuisance is very minor in comparison to the air conditioning noise.

The room refurbishment, compared with our stay 5 years ago is a plus and nicely done, although superficially performed in the bathroom. There is no central command for managing the lights, especially for turning off the night light in the bathroom which cannot be turned off and jeeps slightly illuminating the room. Eye shades are a must.

So , still nicely situated hotel in the meat packing district, nice rooms, but technology of air conditioning and lighting ruin the experience at more than 700 dollars per night.
