Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, simple yet comfortable. I had to spend a whole day inside it during the big blizzard. The afternoon before I stopped by the Trader Joes 3 blocks up the road and got provisions to "shelter in place". By the evening it was impossible to go out, so the fridge, microwave and coffee pot were just perfect. The staff was great too. I was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, so staff helped me carry stuff up. They also have complimentary snacks and coffee at reception. The Inn is well located, and fine for sitting out a blizzard!

The woman at the front desk was great. 2 funny observations: Had to put the coffee maker on the floor for the plug to reach an outlet. I really dislike flavored creamer for my coffee and that's all that was available. Also great location, I love that part of NYC TY, Eric N.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The location was great. The was one big problem. The draft coming off of the window was so cold that I had to move the bed away from it. This basically cut a very small room down to no floor space. I will probably avoid this location in the winter.

For the price, room was solid. Staff was very nice and they had some snacks out front too. My complaint was that we had to leave a day early because of the winter storm and i assumed they would give us a partial refund due to others having the same situation but they did not accommodate us. Overall would come back though.

Staff is friendly, helpful and personable. It’s a simple hotel but it’s relatively cheap and you get what you need and exactly what you pay for. It’s quaint, cozy, simplified and straight to the point. I’ve been here twice and would happily stay again.

Room had a radiator heat pipe on the side that was not adjustable and caused parts of the bed to be hot to the touch, even with the windows open. Bed sagged and was somewhat uncomfortable. Staff very friendly.
