The location is PERFECT and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. However, it's a simple hotel. Do not expect it to be a 4 or 5 star place and you'll be fine. Rooms can be noisy sometimes because of the A/C and restrooms, especially during night when the place is quieter. That's the only thing that bothered me while trying to have a good sleep. Apart from that, I enjoyed my time there.
The stay was super lovely and super central to everything literally the perfect location and the staff was super nice and helpful, we had a early flight and a late flight and they let us store our luggage’s in the meantime I would 100% stay here again.
Even though it is an older property and I had some reservations about staying there, it met my expectations. It was always clean; towels were changed and the room was cleaned daily. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was central and convenient for getting around. There was hot water with good pressure. Air conditioning. I would stay there again.

I would stay there again, as long as I can still climb stairs!
I absolutely love this hidden gem! It’s an older hotel but the staff were so helpful. They checked our bags when we arrived early and held them the day we were leaving so we could do I bit more exploring before we left. The room had 2 beds and 2 bathrooms! Perfect for my friend’s first trip to NYC. Perfect for me whenever I come back. I love the location and the neighborhood. The food at Rays was great and Mc Sorely’s is right around the block. The neighborhood becomes absolutely energetic at night. 10/10 will stay here again. 5 stars. I would give more if I could.
Amazing location but only downfall is that there is no refrigerator in the room. Would be nice to have, even if there is a fee for one. The convenience would be incredible so I wouldn’t have to waste throwing away any food. Wish I could have taken my pizza back home.

Clean and comfortable and a great location. But property is very old. Window was cracked, stains on ceiling no hot water in the evenings.
The room was small and old but for this price it was a very good stay.

They fixed any problems we had in a timely manner. Absolutely no frills what so ever but the location was good and it’s a decent places to sleep at the end of a long day of running around the city.
