The company that manages them, Concord Hospitality Group, has a bad reputation regardless of COVID. The hard product for the price is actually fine given how new the hotel is. However, the management is terrible. I visited someone staying there last year and smelled weed in the lobby and even on the upper floors. Four months (earlier in 2021) later I came back to visit someone else and still smelled weed.

Are you looking to travel to New York in general or do you specifically wish to stay in FiDi?
