We loved the modern and new look of the hotel. Our room was clean, well-equipped, and provided us with the privacy we wanted. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly, offering assistance with taxi calls and wake-up calls. The hot gluten-free breakfast at Refuel was a great option, and the hotel's location near the Apollo theater and the subway station made it convenient for exploring the city.
