NYC FOR SUPERBOWL

Hotel was in a perfect location, not the greatest hotel in the world but what do you need if you are going to party in NYC. Location Location Location, sights, bars, shopping and pretty much anything you need at your door step. Would not recommend for trying to impress any future girlfriend or possible wife :-)

The location could not be better. the beds were comfortable and the room , though run down was clean . I was grateful that there were no bugs anywhere. I would have appreciated a coffee pot in the room.

check in

When I arrived around 7 PM, the line to check into the hotel was about 100 people long with 1 person at the front desk. Another one arrived 30 minutes later! IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO CHECK IN! When i complained, I was told that management laid off bunch of people and now guests are suffering from it. No apologies, no nothing.

terrible

when i got up to my room it was creepy. i honestly felt like i was in a horror movie. the hallways were dimly lit. when i got into my room there was blood in the shower. i got transferred to another room and that shower was just as bad. i did not feel comfortable staying there at all. i do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great location

Perfect if all you want is a place to sleep. We appreciated the affordability and the central location. If you are looking for extras, this isn't the place for you. If you want a cheap, clean place to stay while you explore the city, it's great. We did have a long line to wait in for our Friday night check in but the folks working were very nice. I plan to go back.
