My stay at Innscape On Castle was a mixed bag. The central location was convenient, but the hotel itself left much to be desired with cleanliness and maintenance issues. The quirky character of the building was charming, but the noise and odor challenges were tough to overlook.

I stayed in the penthouse, which was spacious and had a comfy bed, but the bathroom definitely needed a thorough cleaning. Plus, there was a persistent bad odor, and at times, the shower drain couldn't handle much water, flooding the bathroom.

The location was great for accessing local attractions, but I didn't feel safe walking around at night, and it wasn't easy to find my way back, even with GPS. The noise from the street and the fish smell when entering the hotel were off-putting.

Facilities like the microwave and kettle in the room were useful, but overall maintenance was an issue. Wifi was spotty and required frequent log-ins, which was frustrating.

I had a unique experience at Innscape On Castle Hotel. The hotel's quirky NYC loft style drew me in, and I loved my spacious penthouse room, especially the large balcony. However, the noise from the street and the elevator could be bothersome, so definitely pack earplugs. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, the cleanliness and maintenance of the bathroom left something to be desired.
