The first room I was given had no power to the entrance light and no power to the AC. The second room was filthy. The floor had a layer of grime on it that I had to clean off myself because my bare feet were sliding through it. The amount of dirt I got off the floor was disgusting. There was black mold in the shower. The bed was a nice size. The AC in the second room worked very well but the second night my key card no longer worked. The Front Desk guy was very helpful, however

The hotel didn’t even have a name tag on. The bed had a massive piece of iron sticking out that I needed to careful to avoid. No wardrobe. No room cleaning. 30 minutes needed for the check in.

Not bad, not great.

Not bad, not great. Internet was very slow. I chose this hotel over others because there was supposed to be parking, but in the end there was no parking, and either way the garage was quite a distance from the hotel, and not free. I'm generally not a very picky person, but I would definitely choose something else if I'm in the same area in the future.

They charge you 100 dollars deposit. That takes 7-10 business day to refund. It’s a smoke free floor (third floo), but ppl smoke cigarettes and weed in their rooms. The smell in the hallway the is beyond disgusting. Filled a complaint with the front desk. Nothing was done. NEVER AGAIN.

Great hotel. Very clean, cozy and accommodating. Good breakfast. Stayed in a double bed room, and although it is a little on the small size, still was very comfortable. The view of NY from the bedroom window is lovely. Location is great with walking distance to the Subway Station which puts you anywhere you want to go in NYC. Houskeeping did a great job. Fresh towels and toiletries everyday. Beds are comfortable and clean. Staff is very nice and helpful. Would recommend anyone to stay here and will definitely come back if I had to.
