Being New York, finding a nice hotel on a tight budget is hard. But this is a nice little hotel. The room was not very big.

It is soo close to everything! We stayed there for 5 nights and it was just great. You walk out of the door and you are just in the middle of everything. We couldnt even hear the traffic noise.would always go back. More

After reading mostly positive reviews about this hotel, we decided to book it. Big mistake. Our experiences at this hotel almost ruined our time in NYC. The only positives about this hotel are the location and a few staff members - a few at reception and a Polish cleaning lady who was a gem. The negatives (and they are considerable):... More

The hotel is well located in walk distance from all major NYC sites. And probably this is the only advantage I can list here. Our Cons list is much longer: 1. Very old decor in the rooms (we had 2 connected rooms) with odor of dust 2. It was very difficult to operate with water taps in the bathroom. It... More

The staff were friendly and accomodating and willing to help book any cars or trips that we were after. There is a cafe attached to the hotel where the drinks and food and cheap... More

I was staying with two friends here, having just come from another hotel/hostel that I loved - when I checked in and made it to the room I was a little surprised.
