My stay at The Gatsby Hotel was quite pleasant overall, though I encountered a few hiccups. While the location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions and dining options, the noise from the street was noticeable at times. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which made a significant difference in my experience. Yet, the room's amenities could use some modern touches to elevate the comfort level.

I had a decent stay at The Gatsby Hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made everything feel more welcoming. However, I did notice some noise from the hallway and the room was definitely on the smaller side. Overall, it was a solid spot for exploring New York, especially with a subway right across the street.
