Run down old hotel. The sheets have obviously been watched so many times that they feel sand paper. The mattress has clearly seen much , much better days. The room itself had this weird patio like area , so you didn't actually have a window. Is truly horrible

The room climate was lovely. It was still balmy in New York and the AC was adjustable from the room, which was great. I love being able to sleep in a cold room. The room was very clean, and very quaint. It has a lot of charm, it's very classic New York. The Balcony was also a lovely touch.

Great Balcony!

Best thing about the room was the balcony! The room itself is nice but very small. We did not get daily housekeeping for a few days of our stay. Walking distance to a lot of great food and the subway. The staff was very pleasant, but plan on having your morning coffee elsewhere as there is only instant coffee with no sugar or creamer

The area is excellent. You’re right near Chinatown and great boutiques, Katz’s Deli, Russ and Daughters, the Tenement Museum. Trains are easy. Away from the touristy areas like Times Square but still easy to play the tourist. The hotel needs some updates. Instead of buying new sheets there are hand stitching to repair them. The bathroom wasn’t super clean. The room is small which is expected in NYC and there was a really nice balcony in our room. Would probably stay at another hotel in the same area next trip there.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was mostly clean, but there was some black mold in the shower and some on the ceiling where the wall meets the ceiling. I asked the front desk if someone could address the mold in the shower, and they said ok, but when I returned at night, it didn't seem to have been addressed (but my AC had been turned way down, so the room was cold). The gym had pretty good equipment, though it was pretty warm in the room. The other thing to note is that the only coffee provided is a kettle with instant coffee packets. A nearby coffee shop opens at 7am.

Our room had a balcony that was next to another balcony with only a planter separating. The neighbors were shouting and fighting with each other, the woman guest was screaming at the top of her lungs “get away from me”. Then there was more screaming and glass breaking, doors slamming. It was extremely scary. This went on from 3am- 5:30am. I wanted to call the police, but couldn’t remember our room number and was too scared to go into the hallway. I called the front desk repeatedly to have them call the police. They never answered. Needless to say, it was a scary terrible experience

They could do better, they usually do

This is not the first time I've stayed in this hotel. As a matter of fact it was my hotel of choice in the last few visits to NYC. However I was disappointed this time. I reserved a delux room with one king bed and received a very small room with two queen bed with hardly any room to maneuver... on one day housekeeping only arrived after 5pm, on another day it seemed that they way in a hurry as the bed was sloppily made up... I would still give them a chance hoping it was a one time incident
