DO NOT RECOMMEND - the windows are paper thin and all the city sounds come the through -ugh- I had noise canceling head phones and still could hear- at 5:30 am the construction across the street started and it was deafening - I have video. Trying to talk to my family on the phone, they thought I was in the street. the rooms look nothing like the pictures, older, dirty, need updated, and just a sink- shared bathroom in small letters means 8 or more other rooms share the bathroom in the hall… the only shower and place to go to the bathroom … shared by strangers, when you gotta go you have to wait… not ok. Also the breakfast which the front desk guy called a snack - a plain bagel and hot water for instant coffee. Do you really want your memory of New York to be that you pooped your pants waiting for the room four doors down to get out of the shower… or to be singing karaoke to some loud polka music with the guy in the street below at 2am (real things) … real adventures of NYC at the nightmare American INN
