Nice staff, clean bedding, great location. Water pressure in the bathroom was not great, but I appreciated that our room had a microwave as well as a generously-sized mini fridge. I would definitely consider booking here again.

Staff was very kind and accommodating, room was clean and heating was so nice in the winter. Only downside is the walk up style building, so pack light just in case!

The woman at the front desk was great. 2 funny observations: Had to put the coffee maker on the floor for the plug to reach an outlet. I really dislike flavored creamer for my coffee and that's all that was available. Also great location, I love that part of NYC TY, Eric N.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The location was great. The was one big problem. The draft coming off of the window was so cold that I had to move the bed away from it. This basically cut a very small room down to no floor space. I will probably avoid this location in the winter.

For the price, room was solid. Staff was very nice and they had some snacks out front too. My complaint was that we had to leave a day early because of the winter storm and i assumed they would give us a partial refund due to others having the same situation but they did not accommodate us. Overall would come back though.

Staff is friendly, helpful and personable. It’s a simple hotel but it’s relatively cheap and you get what you need and exactly what you pay for. It’s quaint, cozy, simplified and straight to the point. I’ve been here twice and would happily stay again.

Room had a radiator heat pipe on the side that was not adjustable and caused parts of the bed to be hot to the touch, even with the windows open. Bed sagged and was somewhat uncomfortable. Staff very friendly.
