Staff were very accommodating and helpful! I made a late reservation on Friday evening for Saturday and Sunday. I needed an accessible room. The did not have the same room available for both nights. The kind gentleman taking my reservations contacted the manager and they were able to move some things around. That meant I was able to stay in the same room for both nights and that was great. Ordered room service from elNico. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It’s a great place to stay where the showcase and sell original artwork created by New Yorkers with developmental disabilities. It’s a really cute place! I highly recommend!

Very well appointed room for the size. I feel like they thought of everything. Small room yet has a fridge and a sink area! Shower leaked all over the floor which was unfortunate. Wish check out had been at 12 instead of 11.

What a charming little place! They thought of everything. Pour over coffee in the room was the biggest hit for my crew. Nice staff. Sizable rooms for NYC and the property is decorated by local artists with developmental disabilities. Don’t forget to check out the view from the restaurant on top. I would love to stay here again!
