The hype
Travelers are universally impressed by the extreme cleanliness and the fun robot theme, but many are baffled by the lack of in-room coffee.

$169-280 / nacht
Boek dit als You want a spotless, high-tech crash pad near Penn Station and prefer a robot dinosaur greeter over small talk with a concierge.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The animatronic T-Rex in the lobby is a legitimate novelty
- Heated Toto washlet toilets in every single bathroom
- LG Styler steam closets in upgraded rooms (perfect for refreshing travel clothes)
Snel Overzicht: A bizarrely efficient slice of Tokyo dropped into the chaos of the Garment District—clean, compact, and completely coffee-less.
Beoordeeld door @amandasparkles: I booked this place for the gimmick but loved the room. The T-Rex check-in is hilarious, but the real win is the Japanese-style deep soaking tub. It’s compact but super clean, and having a heated bidet in NYC is a rare luxury I didn't know I needed.

Reality check
The rooms are 'Japanese efficient' (read: small), and while the street noise is well-dampened on high floors, hallway noise can bleed through.
- You are a solo traveler or couple who values hygiene and tech over square footage
- You need to be within walking distance of Penn Station or Madison Square Garden
- You appreciate a silent, high-tech bathroom experience
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable. Reviews consistently praise the 'spotless' nature of the rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. The Toto toilets are kept in pristine condition; grout lines are typically white and clean.
- Maintenance: The hotel was built/renovated recently (2021), so wear and tear is minimal. Everything feels new.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and fresh. No complaints of threadbare towels.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh. No lingering smoke or musty carpet smells (mostly hard flooring).

Kamers om te vermijden

- Deluxe Double if you are 3+ adults (luggage space becomes non-existent)

“I would love to request a room on a high floor (10+) facing away from the street for quiet. If available, an Executive King with the LG Styler would be fantastic.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there really a dinosaur checking people in?
Yes, a large animatronic T-Rex stands in the lobby and roars/moves. It's more of a greeter; humans or kiosks handle the actual check-in.
Does the hotel serve breakfast?
No. There is no breakfast service. However, Liberty Bagels is literally next door and is excellent.
Are the rooms tiny?
By US standards, yes. They average 275 sq ft. By NYC/Tokyo standards, they are efficiently designed.
Is there a gym?
Not in the building. You receive a pass to use the Planet Fitness located directly across the street.
Do the rooms have fridges?
Yes, small mini-fridges are provided, but they are for keeping drinks cool, not storing a week's worth of groceries.
Is the area safe?
It's the Garment District/Penn Station area. It's very busy and generally safe, but can feel gritty and chaotic at night.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 2nd floor has a 'Guest Lounge' that is often empty—a great place to work if your room feels too small.
- ✨
The LG Styler (in Executive rooms) can sanitize and de-wrinkle a suit or dress in 20 minutes—a lifesaver for business travelers.
- ✨
Liberty Bagels next door usually has a line down the block; order ahead online for pickup to skip the wait.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The lobby smells faintly of the 'Jurassic' theme (sometimes earthy/forest scents are pumped in).
💡The elevators are surprisingly fast for a NY hotel.
💡The 'balcony' rooms (Suites) have views that are mostly just other buildings, but fresh air is a luxury.
💡You might hear the T-Rex roaring from the mezzanine lounge.
💡The bathroom lighting is excellent for makeup, unlike the dim caves in many boutique hotels.
