Outstanding option for a short stay in NYC!

Great hotel for an option to stay at NYC for a short trip (10 days max.) Personnel is very kind and is always willing to give a good service. Cleanliness is the most outstanding characteristic of this hotel; everyday they got into my room to sheets, towels and make a deep clean in the floor and bathroom. If your visit to NYC is for business or vacation in Manhattan, this hotel is an outstanding alternative. The location is properly connected to main streets and avenues of Manhattan, so moving around is pretty easy; I mean, the hotel is like 5 minutes away from Grand Central Terminal by foot.

I felt the location was pretty good. We were able to walk to alot of destinations. I felt the room was extremely small. I understand we opted for bunkbeds but still. I also felt like breakfast could have been included or a voucher provided. Everywhere offers you breakfast these days.
