The room was a little claustrophobic and lacking in appealing decor. A large mirror to reflect light and the small window, some art on the large stark tv wall and replacing the menacing portrait of a man above the bed with something more appealing would improve the room a lot. But the vanity area, closet, and bathroom were nice. I’ve found this hotel to be overpriced compared to others in the area. Especially considering it doesn’t have a restaurant or bar other than the buffet breakfast area. There are other hotels at this price point with more amenities and larger rooms.

I travel to NYC a few times per year to see jazz shows at the Bluenote & the Village Vanguard. I primarily stay at the Washington Square Hotel due to it's great location. It is within a few blocks of the clubs. The neighborhood is fantastic with plenty of terrific restaurants, etc., nearby. As for the hotel, the price is fair & the staff very nice. It is a solid mid-tier hotel. It is by no means luxury, nor is it a dump. It is a clean, well located, reliable, decent place to stay. Pros: Great location, friendly staff, excellent water pressure, breakfast included (haven't tried it), good wi-fi. Cons: Very small rooms, very firm beds, small flat-screen TV wedged up in the corner of the ceiling (plenty of channels though) no mini-fridge, a little noisy, It's hard to beat if you need to be in the area and don't want to spend a fortune. All in all an excellent situation for basic accommodations. Note: When I was there last, I mentioned the rock hard mattress & no mini-fridge & they said next time to ask for a softer bed and a room with a mini-fridge (they obviously must exist) btw, Must go: Waverly Diner & Joe's Pizza a couple of blocks away. .

The room was very clean and comfortable. What wasn't great was the room was at the first floor level, and it was very noisy - garbage trucks; people yelling. It wasn't very restful. The staff were more than accommodating. I did not receive my folio after my stay.
