For a budget hotel, it’s just fine. Great location. No elevator (5th floor). Share private bathroom with another room. Weak Wi-Fi. But the area is great, the room is clean, cozy and quiet, and the no front desk check-in was smooth. If want to save $200 per night for restaurants and activities, this is your place.

Room is good if you just need someplace to sleep, nothing fancy and small. Needs updating but clean. I reserved a room with a private bathroom. The hotel staff didn’t engage but were pleasant enough when I spoke to them. There was a microwave and a small fridge in the room.

If you’re looking for a spacious room, this isn’t it, but it’s also not the point. Who goes to NYC to hang out in their hotel? It’s perfect place to rest your bones, recharge, freshen up, etc. It’s also not without its charms. Not sure what purpose this building used to serve, but you can feel the history of this revived walk up.
