In a good location
Most guests of this hotel have loved its location. The property sits right in the heart of New York's Financial District, just a short distance from Wall Street and just blocks from One World Trade Center. Guests who had business to attend to in New York loved this location.
positive:
Unique 1980s theme
Each room at this property is decorated in 1980s-style decor, which made for a unique stay for guests. Many guests particularly likes the 1980s memorabilia that was displayed throughout the property because it was different from a traditional hotel experience.
positive:
Kitchenettes in the rooms
Multiple guests have liked the fact that the rooms have kitchenettes at this hotel. This allowed guests to cook their own meals, if they wished, which saved them money and prevented them from having to head out at night.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy at times
Past guests have mentioned that this hotel doesn't have the best soundproofing, as they could hear everything that was going on in neighbouring rooms. Guests have also found that there is a fair amount of noise that makes its way in from outside the hotel.
negative:
Doesn't have a safe
Guests have been disappointed to arrive in their rooms and find that there aren't any in-room safes. These guests have said that the hotel advertises safes in the rooms, but they aren't present upon arrival.
negative:
Limited housekeeping
There have been complaints about the property's policy of offering limited housekeeping. While this is done to keep the costs down, guests would have preferred to have their rooms made up daily.
