Sauna was great, building is old but beautiful. Rooms were very clean, staff were helpful. It’s very accessible to most shops, wine shop a few doors away, target was 5 minutes away, lots of places to eat and shop, you can walk to Macy’s and time square. I really enjoyed staying at this hotel and would go back.
