    The staff was so friendly and helpful and approachable I’m not used to New York prices. So I would’ve preferred a less pricey hotel. I enjoyed this hotel. I felt safe I felt cared for.

    An incredible welcome by the night staff on 26/5 just after midnight and an overall positive service not to mention a well-equipped room, very clean and quality bedding. Add to that the perfect location for visiting New York for a couple of nights. It’s the ideal place to stay.

    Good location. Clean room. Was quiet. No proper lounge; no coffee- or tea-making facilities in room (available at entrance to hotel). No proper wardrobe closet. Main problem- at 462.00 USD for a Tuesday night, the hotel is double what I think is reasonable to pay. I would only return if the total with tax was about 250.00.

    Not much The room was small, dirty floor, cheap furniture and in the basement. Very noisy in the morning as the walls were paper thin. No coffee machine in the room. Just like a cheap and dirty roadside motel. Terrible.

    Location great, staff friendly, room clean. Nice to have coffee and tea at all times in the tiny lobby. Tiny lobby, but ok - Would have preferred a better quality of toiletries - only provided shampoo, body wash and thin lotion that had too much scent for my taste, and no facial soap which would have been nice.
