I requested a late Check-In and was sent a private message from the hotel stating that that would be fine. They neglected to inform me AT THAT TIME that their credit card machines had been down for 4 days even before my arrival, so once I arrived, I was told that I had to pay for my vacation stay in cash! :-O The problem was I don't carry cash like that, and if I wanted to, I would've been prepared with a heads-up. The manager stated that I could find another hotel, then ~ RUDE! I let him know that I would pay once I left back out (it was close to midnight) and he wanted to hold my passport or Driver's License as collateral ~ NOT! I gave him a work I.D. instead. I went online and paid through Expedia for my entire stay, as I wasn't comfortable going to obtain cash like that to pay for a 5-night stay. The machines never were working during my stay, so it seems like they were out for at least 9 days. BAD BUSINESS not giving customers a heads-up!!!! The room is almost exactly as pictured minus the rug; It was very clean, but upon asking for clean towels, we rarely got them when needed, and the cups in the cupboard were dirty with stains on them. The shower was hit or miss with hot water and drained very slowly. The breakfast was great ~ hot, plentiful, and good! The location was about an 8 min taxi ride from 5th Avenue, but hard to find for many taxi cab drivers. Nothing was nearby and taxis had to be ordered from the hotel staff. Overall rating ~ 3/5
