Stay was pretty good. Room is pretty small, however it has all you need. The bathroom situation was alright, however not all 4 rooms on our floor were occupied. The area was fine, not the best not the worst. Getting back at 22 felt safe enough as there's plenty of people around. At first we didn't receive the door code and it took a couple days to get a response. Though it was probably a one time thing, as our other requests got answered reasonably fast. Still not great.

The building was a bit warn down, I didn’t mind that though, since the room and bathroom were both clean and the cleaning staff very friendly. The room was small and cozy, the bed was comfortable and I absolutely loved the view of the city. The one thing I really missed was a kettle in the kitchen so that I could have made instant coffee and tea rather than having to go out to buy it every time. And a mini-fridge would be a wonderful addition to keep a few food items fresh and beverages cold in the heat. That would make a great difference when traveling on a budget. Location worked fine for me NYC is very walkable and there’s a subway very close by as well.

客室も共用トイレも綺麗で満足です。 ロケーションも地下鉄駅から徒歩圏内で便利でしたが、治安が心配だったので９時以降はであるかないようにしました。

Me tome un par de veces con el personal y muy amables, ademas las habitacoines impecables y quizas mi unica incomodidad fueron las almohadas. Deberian de cambiarlas por unas mas comodas.
