The staff were amazing and so helpful when we had any issues, they addressed it quickly and helpfully. The location is also really great near a metro stop, and it's in the middle between Midtown and downtown which is convenient for sightseeing.
The room was fabulous! We upgraded to a room with a bathroom, it had a tv, desk, microwave, fridge, and the heating worked great. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We definitely would come again!

It had a clean room, good staff, and the room was comfortable.
Sparse room but clean and very reasonably priced. Fantastic location… neatly everything is a close walk away. Even a Penn Station!

A somewhat basic hotel but the location is the big selling point. It was clean to a reasonable high standard. Note the rooms are very small, but it was perfect for our one-night stopover in the Big Apple.
Room was great! Location is close to many shops and subway stations. We stayed here to go to the village and Chelsea Piers and got to enjoy a nice fresh snow in the city while having a perfect place to stay.
The room was nice, very clean air--not stuffy at all. Would have liked a complimentary bottle of water. But comfortable all in all. Very friendly and courteous staff. We would stay there again.

Lights in the bathroom weren’t working and it was very dark. And the sink was stopped up. People at the desk were very nice and the hotel is convenient to the metro.
I was in rm 501 door 1 and I had to sleep with the window opened due to the ac not working i so scared thinking a rat might crawl in. Also we had to share a bathroom and it was horrible having to wait for my roommate to use the bathroom. I was on the 5th floor with no elevator. But besides that it was ok.
