I saw some reviews saying they couldn’t get any sleep because they were in Times Square (which honestly wouldn’t be the hotels fault anyway) but I was shocked by how quiet it was at night! This is the perfect place for solo travel- clean, affordable, good location for shopping and sight seeing, it’s small but that’s kinda the point of the place, and personally I loved it- it’s cozy and I’m a messy traveler so when it was time to pack up it was nicer to have all my stuff in one small room then trying to remember everything spread out around a bigger room or suite. I will definitely be staying again!

The street level lobby to catch the elevator to the main lobby smelled like sewer. The room was advertised as a twin/full and the photos showed both a twin bed and full bed, however it was just one full bed. The toiletries were very limited and the room did not have a fridge.

The hotel room was nice a little small but nice! However there was consistent construction right over our room every morning that we weren’t aware of until it woke us up every morning very loudly.

The hotel is very central to transportation, banks, and different food options. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Check-in and check-out was quick and easy. They returned my $50 deposit a few days post visit. Housekeeping was impeccable at keeping my room spotless every time I returned from a day out. The bed and pillows were very comfy too. It's so rare to find a hotel that's safe and clean in a busy tourist area. Would definitely visit here again.

Depressing place… it feels like a prison and the staff are just meh. Construction happening that I wasn’t informed about was loud throughout the day. Doesn’t feel very clean and has a depressing atmosphere

was assigned on 15th floor , on top there’s on going renovations / constructions, the noise from 10am-4pm was unbearable, complaint to the hotel reception but they did not even offer ear plug and apologize. Plus a random guy suddenly tried to open the room saying he needs to check the lock battery, i did not request for any battery change. The Hotel is pretty much accessible, bus stations, subway, etc.

Totally fine, but no frills. Serviceable when on a budget or prices are weirdly high elsewhere, but definitely nothing to write home about
