    The room is really small so plan accordingly. My wife and I kept bumping into each other in the room. Also the bathroom shower has no door. So the whole bathroom gets wet when you shower. Also staff didn’t pick up the phone for a whole hour straight when I needed towels.

    The site didn’t state that the hotel is walk up and no elevator which is very inconvenient for elderly like me. Had I known it to be walk up place I wouldn’t have selected it.

    Super tiny rooms, good for 2 people. No elevator though, so if you have asthma notify the property way in advance!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was small (but not cramped). It was very clean and modern, and the bathroom / shower were great! In a perfect location for theatres (on 8th Ave, between 46th and 47th). Lots of food options nearby, and only a few blocks from Times Square. Very friendly staff. Water and coffee available for free. Only possible hitch . . . no elevator! So if you are good with taking the stairs, this place is wonderful! (there are even signs saying that taking the stairs is good exercise, and good for the heart and legs!) Overall, great place!

    If you stay on a low floor because of there being no elevator, you can literally hear and feel the subway running underneath. And, the Air Conditioner did not work well.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Warning-do not stay in this hotel. There is no mention that there is no elevator in the discription. It is not handicap accessible and if you're like us and given a 5th floor room it is 10 flights of steps you will climb. Try doing that with your luggage climbing. The room is tiny and the water from the shower leaked all over the bathroom. It isn't worth $20 let alone the money we paid.

    my go to if i have to stay in the city

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was quite small but the bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked well. The bathroom was a wet room design, so water easily went beyond the shower. Fortunately it stayed mostly on the floor, so I used an extra towel to dry it off (I hate my feet getting wet when I come back in the bathroom to do something). I was annoyed that they demanded a $5 charge to leave my bag the day of check out. I search for that service when booking a room and saw nothing about a charge in the listing. The biggest reason I will not stay here again is that there is no elevator and my room was on the fifth floor. I definitely did not see that in the listing. I think that kind of information should be blazened across the top or be in the title of the listing. Fortunately I only had a backpack, but I didn't enjoy climbing all of those stairs after walking around the city all day. They put signs in the stairwell about how climbing stairs is better for you. Oh, please. That did not help my annoyance at all.

    Great location, easily walk to Times Square, the Theater District, plenty of restaurants, etc. The room is a great use of space and clean!

    Disgusting place

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Solid, clean, can't beat the price. location is good. It's a walkup--and I was 5th floor so just be prepared for that but they will help you with your luggage up the stairs. They are friendly and dependable.

    Great value for the price. It is a lot of stairs! But for a quick trip, I’d go back. Like the edgy decor, and very comfortable bed
