Everything I needed for a 2-day holiday in New York. The room and bathroom was clean, and nicely dome up. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe. The location was perfect for accessing key Manhattan landmarks.

The location was great, the staff was very friendly and the bed was comfortable. The noise from other guests late at night though was incredible. Definitely bring some earplugs.

The room was clean and the staff was nice and helpful, but i stayed on 2nd floor in the rear, noise from the upper floor was constant. And cigarette smoke smell came from downstairs, really really bad.

I love this place. 2nd time staying here. Very clean and in a great location. Very close to many hot spots on the city. The price is great for what you get. The bathrooms are shared, but I never had to wait to use it. I will say that there is no elevators in the building, so if you are not staying on the first floor you have to use the stairs. Not a huge deal as it keeps you in shape, just like the walking in the city does! For parking we used the Madison Square garden garage, as it is just 2 blocks away.

It is in a great location, near many attractions and tourist sites. My room was a little small, but since I was out all day, I only needed it for sleeping.

Great location and easy accessible for all the New York, I am rating 3 only because I had a hard time to lift and bring down my two 50lbs each luggage to 5th floor, and the bathroom of 5th floor is very stinky for my entire 3 night stay

Place is good. For the price and location, i would come back again. Area is a bit darker at night and some homeless. I guess NY is like that nowadays. Stay is pleasant.
