Clean bed and bedroom. Your roommates, well, it's a gamble really. My experience with the bathroom was great. Super clean! Yes, it is shared. But, felt as same as being in my gym. Nothing new, sharing a bathroom. Super happy that I can visit Manhattan on a budget again.

Nice, quiet & considerate guests in my all-female 10-count room. Climate control seemed perfect. Front desk check-in was simple but thorough. The cafe is the Bomb. A local church tower with noon bells.
