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.

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.

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.
