Okay, I can't give this place a bad review. I stayed there at short notice and found it to be clean and the staff friendly. For what I needed, it was just fine.
However, don't use this hotel if you're looking for a peaceful night sleep and quick access to the tourist sights. My room was at the front of the building, only a few meters from the main express way to JFK airport (and yes I knew this before I got there). Just be aware it's VERY noisy all night. But hey, welcome to NYC!
Also, the nearest subway is about 400m away through a rather rough area. I was fine as it's not my first time in an rough spot, but if you're not used to it, it could be quite off putting going to and from the station for example.
It's also the better part of 45 mins on the tube to get to lower Manhattan just so you're aware.
Look, it's a city hotel. It's clean, the staff are fine, and the beds are reasonably comfy. Just don't use it for a quiet romantic get away and you'll be just fine.
