I'm glad I ignored the bad reviews. I found The Selina to be an exceptional value for the location and experience. The staff was terrific, and the free welcome drink was a real treat - the margarita option was a very quality cocktail, not a cheap mix. Most importantly I appreciate they don't extort pet owners with exorbitant extra fees and were truly welcoming to my pup (we were in town for an AKC event at the Javits Center). Also the morning coffee in the lobby was a really good brew - I normally would go out to one of the many specialty cafes for coffee, but was more than happy with the complimentary cup. The room was small, as are most NYC rooms at this price point. I did not have a problem with noise other than the to be expected occasional street noise which was barely discernible. Music from the lobby area traveled up the elevator shaft but could not be heard inside the room. While I could hear the sound of other room doors opening and closing, I find that to be fairly common in hotels and was not bothered by it, nor was my dog. The room temperature was easily adjustable. I did initially feel a draft and some cool air but soon realized the window had been left partially open. I will definitely be back to the Selina for the AKC event next year- the proximity to Javits and Hudson Yards without being in the gritty really busy Times Square area was perfect.
