"This hotel is located inside a Manhattan building. The reception is on the 6th floor, and the guest rooms are from the 16th to the 22nd floor. The entire building has four elevators, two of which are dedicated to the hotel. I found it quite alright; I didn't have to wait too long for the elevators, though their space is indeed a bit small.
Since it's a new hotel, the bedding and towels are very new and clean, which is a big plus. Breakfast is served on the 6th floor. The area isn't very large, so it can get quite crowded during peak season. The food itself is decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly acceptable.
The service was excellent; they were very accommodating. One afternoon, it was too hot to go out, so I ordered a 'Tie Guo Dun' (iron pot stew) delivery back to the hotel. The portion was quite large, probably too big for a delivery robot to handle, so the front desk assistant kindly helped deliver it to my room. In the afternoon, the hotel also provides complimentary snacks, as you can see in the photos below.
The location is fantastic. St. Sophia Cathedral is right downstairs, and it's very close to major attractions. Across the street is the Daoli wet market, and the surrounding area is very lively. The pastries from the nearby Russian bakery (Babylock) are also delicious."
