The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK
Very impressed with all aspects of the hotel. The staff were amazing and friendly. The cafe and the Yu downstairs were a great amenity to have. Suggestion to put electrical adaptors on at least 4 the outlets throughout the rooms. We had international adaptors but we still needed the main one.
