Great location! Very clean!
Shared bathroom and no elevator.
The staff was always so willing to help! And every night I slept like a baby with their AC. Would recommend to anyone if they are solo traveling. Might not be spacious enough for more than 2.
There was no power so there was no light and I couldn't do any work, which is the reason why I booked this hotel in the first place. So I had to leave and find a different hotel.
Nice choice between a hostel and hotel. Private bedroom but shared bathroom. Comfortable bed, clean linens. Small room, but great place to sleep while visiting New York

Quiet, affordable, closer to amenities, good place to stay for single person or couple. Definitely used this place when I comeback to NY, not fancy but budget friendly and clean. Good place to stay for simple person.

The walls felt thin, I could hear the next door slamming their door at night. It woke me up. Bathrooms were regularly cleaned it seemed like but the water in the shower didn’t drain well so I was standing in a pool of water towards the end of my shower. I stayed 3 nights, and there was just one morning when all bathrooms were taken. Other than that, it was always available. I didnt even see any of my neighbors. There’s no elevator but I am happy I stayed on the 3rd floor since everyone from upstairs must all walk in front of the 2nd floor rooms while coming down. The mattress in my room felt old, it was pretty soft and it sunk in the middle. I am 5’3 and I was pretty much able to touch the foot of the bed laying down. The duvet cover had an old stain but I didn’t make it a big deal since the sheets seemed fresh and clean. I found a spot on the floor with crumbs so maybe it wasn’t vacuumed properly. The sink in the room helped a lot. Bring tissue if you need it, there’s none. Don’t stay here if you want that 5 star hotel experience because you won’t get it here, and don’t expect it when you come here. This place is very minimal and reflected in their price point. I was able to save $600 by staying here in December and I would stay here again if it saves me that amount again. I would not come with little kids, the whole floor will probably hear them. I only interacted with 2 receptionists and they were both chill. Location is great. TV had a bunch of options. I am pretty minima

The room was with no bathrooom which I did not expect. The staircase is tilted. Cleaniness is okay.
Overall, the location, staff, and room were great. Unfortunately, the person below me decided to play loud music at 3 am in the morning, so I was awakened from my sleep and was unable to fall back for a while. I also received towels that had a bit of make up on them, which made me hesitant to use them.
