I had rented the 1 bedroom apartment 701 for 3 nights last minute stay because my other accommodations at The Muse fell through due to city scaffolding and not being able to use the balcony room, they let me know the night before, so I had to scramble and many hotels were already full. When I arrived the Blue Moon hotel seemed closed, the street in front was closed, the Uber had to go down anyway because of all my luggage (I had traveled by train on a10 day Boston trip prior) so I was ready to check in! Turns out it was Passover holiday and the hotel was run on a skeleton crew.Ok. understandable,no glass of wine to welcome us like the website suggested? That's ok. The elevator is slow but efficient and the room is 420 friendly. Everything feels safe, they're nice and friendly, but no housekeeping or ice machine. No breakfast as advertised either, the cafe downstairs looks like a set of a cafe but again it's a holiday week. There's Dudley's cafe on the corner and it's wonderful food. They stay has great views of the Chrysler Building and the empire State Building. There's a comfortable bed. The tub had hairs in it...Eww. I thinkI loved the coffee machine and the mini fridge the most! It's a nice thing to wake up to a hot coffee and a view of the city. The historic Blue Moon has a fresh coat of paint and one can notice little updates and pride in ownership from the big screen TV to providing updated electrical outlets. There's a touch of the classic NYC feel to the place too!
