On the pro side, I definitely shopped around and I believed this to be the best value for the money (I paid an average of $350/night including all taxes/fees) that I could find in Manhattan for the time I was there. Given that, I have no regrets about the choice. The staff were friendly and the room had everything I needed for a short trip where pretty much all I did in the hotel was sleep, shower and change clothes. It was fine for that. Having said that, it's an extremely old and run-down property that I would definitely consider "budget" vs. "boutique." There was an odd smell in my room that I didn't notice until the second day, so no idea what that was from. Also, while the bathroom was huge (largely a waste of space), the shower design was very poor...there was no way to take a shower without the showerhead spraying water direclty onto the bathroom floor, which just made a mess and created a slip hazard.

More Spacious than Most Hotels.

Could not review the studio suite because we didn't get to stay in it and had to stay in a regular room instead. The pictures on hotels.com and the property website are incorrect they show all rooms with a walk-in shower which is critical for those with mobility issues. Instead ALL studio suites (according to the person checking us in) have bathtubs with a shower. Only the non-suite rooms have "roll in" showers. We always look at the picture of the bathroom before booking a room and so we depend on the pictures being accurate. Other than that and it may not matter to others the room was fine. Ours was a little dated in the bathroom but otherwise comfortable (for a room) and well appointed. The staff were very nice. If the pictures had been accurate would have been a 4 or 5 start review.
