An additional fee to check in early, when the room is available is just greedy. You had approximately 20 people sitting in the lobby waiting hours for rooms that you said were ready and available. The shower could also be improved. The hot water took a long time to get warm-not hot, which is especially problematic during winter in New York.

This hotel is super dirty, they do not clean the rooms unless you ask them too, The pillows and bed sheets have blood stains, the workers are very rude they basically ignore you, they do not have any water to drink not even vending machines, the ac hardly works, and the space in the rooms is very limited. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

If you don’t care about the condition of your room/stay then it’s a good hotel for a cheap price. You get what you pay for. Walls were chipped and dirty, the paint job looks like a 3 year old did it, the bathtub had several chips on the side, No room service or house cleaning. Not even a phone to call for extra towels or toiletries. The front door doesn’t even work and you have to use the side door. The hotel reeks of cigarettes so bad. The “rooftop” level is closed off but hey, we had a roof over our heads and it was okay but this establishment is not very clean. The lobby trash was full to the brim oh and also… they had no hot water and when they did it took over 10 min to warm up. Overall it served its purpose so I’m not mad at it but for sure next time I will take my business somewhere else or across the street lol. A plus was definitely that we could leave our luggage’s after check out for no extra charge!

It was a good thing there was a subway station within walking distance, but the hotel/room itself could’ve used improvements ex: my curtains couldn’t fully cover the window so there was a big gap my entire stay.
