I had a layover in NYC for one night ahead of a trip abroad and wanted to stay in a new hotel. I prefer to stay in the new hotels in any city I travel to and found the fidi. I checked out the website and it seemed cool so I booked it. As you walk into the hotel there is cool music and the pure NYC vibe! The staff at reception were very nice and took the time to explain what type of room I booked and the location. The bed- was so comfortable. The room was very clean. The bathroom was small, and I would have liked more space to put my lotions and potions, but it was perfect for a one-night stay. They don't have a restaurant but I got great suggestions from the staff and my wake-up call came on time the next morning so making my flight was a breeze. I arranged a car to the airport at reception the night before and the driver was great- he knew how to get around traffic, etc. Since I have another layover on my way back I booked my next stay before I left!
