the safety and security of our guest is of utmost importance. Rest assured that the hotel has been considered safe by the Department of Health to accommodate our guests, and for using the water for drinking, showering, brushing your teeth and other purposes. We have not have any recent cases.

Last month, the New York City Department of Health (hereinafter “DOH”) requested our cooperation to collect and test a variety of water samples throughout the building. The testing revealed very low levels of Legionella bacteria present in some of the samples collected. The DOH deemed it safe to continue operating and for guests to stay at the hotel while remediation work was underway.

We are pleased to share that we have successfully completed our remediation efforts, and our most recent interim sampling did not indicate any signs of the bacteria present within the hotel facilities.
