If you’re looking for a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, this isn’t it. But if that doesn’t bother you, it is convenient to pubic transportation, close to restaurants, and free parking. The staff was very attentive too.

yes, the property is old and dated. The common areas are shabby, worn and dirty but you’re getting a $90 a night room in a very expensive area. The room was clean. The bed was great. The air conditioner worked, Free parking. The staff was available courtesies and helpful. The neighborhood was nice with good restaurants in walking distance. The price for the night was a bargain. So if you want an updated and spotless facility go elsewhere and pay hundreds of dollars a night. If you are looking for a clean room and bed for the night this is the place.

Move on

Location is good but the hygiene is simply awful. The place is falling apart and there are no amenities. Staff are very pleasant and nice and they try. Location is very close to Harvard, loads of restaurants but the houses on the street need a whole hell of a lot of love. Shared bathroom, no soap or shower gel or any amenities so buyer beware. Final pro tip: Check the bed sheets for stains, we found dried in coffee or something dark anyway!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The whole building is filthy and out of maintenance. The hygienic condition is far below the minimum standard. Toilet not working, no soap, no shampoo, no TV, the mattresses are screamy without springs. The bedding didn’t look clean. The overall service and condition are significantly worse than what is advertised on the website. Do not come, it is a fraud.

Budget Friedly Stay

The place was definitely a budget friendly and cheap stay while being close to the center of New York. The reception staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, the place was very old and a bit run down. The common areas weren’t very clean and the bedroom had broken and old furniture. If you are looking for something cheap to sleep in is a good choice, but if you are looking for a quality stay, this is not the right for you.

Staff was great. It's better than sleeping outside and marginally better than sleeping in your car. Bring your own wash cloth! With all that, I'd stay there again.

Bed, pillows & linens were comfortable! No towels in the room. Never asked about options, so be prepared or ask ahead. Staff was helpful and parking was excellent! The price was right, and the area great for dining, walking, though don’t expect the Ritz. If the property were more posh, the price would be too! There are very delicious options, Asia, Ethnic, Breakfast restaurants. Enjoy!

Everything is so old, dirty and smelly!!! The picture of the room I picked on the Expedia website is not how it looks in reality. The mattresses are extremely uncomfortable and make a lot of noise. The TV is not working and is there for just decoration.

It was convenient to restaurant selections. My room included a bathroom so that was a surprise. It didn't have a glass or a cup, yet it had a microwave and a refrigerator. There was no washcloth. I felt the sprngs in the mattress while I slept. The hallway rugs appeared worn and dirty.

Do Not Stay Here!!! Terrible!!!

This stay was absolutely horrible. I would not suggest that anyone stay here ever. They stuck me and my two friends in an attic room that was not listed anywhere on their website. The room was extremely small, there were wires hanging from the ceiling, and the AC barely worked. We also only had access to a co-Ed communal bathroom that was old and dirty. I'm honestly not sure how this place stays in business. We left within 20 minutes of getting there because we did not feel safe or comfortable staying. I will be emailing the Inn and hope to at least get some sort of refund.
