Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Inconsistent access to subway lines — While many guests find subway lines within walking distance, one review specifically notes the absence of a nearby subway line, suggesting access may vary by location or entry.
  • Potential taxi access challenge — The hotel sits in a small alley, and some guests report that taxi drivers may not be able to drop you right at the entrance and may not speak English, requiring a short walk.
  • Price may feel high for the class — One guest felt that room rates were slightly above what they expected for a 3-star property, noting that a little extra could secure a centrally located 5-star hotel.
