Very quiet from outside (but you can easily hear doors slamming)
- How is the exec. lounge?
N/A
- What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- Central location, 5 minutes walk to Nomad district, full of trendy spots
- Easy access to public transport. Shared bike station 2 minutes walk to the hotel
- Very friendly staff
Bad:
- Somewhat basic design of lobby and rooms
- Noisy and poorly efficient air conditioning
- Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes, considering that IC was fully booked the last two days of my stay in NYC and that most IHG hotels were at USD700 and above.
The hotel is definitely not made for a family as rooms are tiny, but makes very much the job if you are looking for a clean accomodation in central Manhattan.
