Rooms are good. But breakfast lobby is way too small for the croud, and this becomes hell. Only one of the elevators was working, so it took up to 10 min to get to our room due to the jam. Bathroom was not vacuumed properly with many women hair on the tiles. Front desk not friendly.

You get what you pay for
The room was NY-small, which was fine for the price, but having only one working elevator for a 15-floor building was difficult. Also, a lot of the housekeeping stuff happens on the first floor, right next to the elevator. The pancake machine was working, but the dining are was a zoo since it was very small relative to the number of guests.

Overall, our stay was decent, but we did encounter a few issues. One night, we struggled to sleep due to other guests partying in the hallways. They were smoking marijuana in a neighboring room, which caused our room to smell of smoke. These disturbances occurred between 3-5 AM, which we found completely unacceptable. We eventually reported the issue to the front desk, and security intervened, bringing the situation under control. Thankfully, we didn’t experience any further disruptions for the rest of our stay. Additionally, one of the two elevators broke down, leading to long wait times to travel between floors. Despite these inconveniences, our stay was overall satisfactory.

Great location to explore the city. We had one room for a family of two adults and two children which worked well, as we only used it as a base to sleep. Bathroom was a good size. The room was well cleaned.

My initial impression was of the friendly, competent service of the staff at check-in. This was immediately forgotten by discovering that only one of the two, small elevators, was working! We were on the 7th floor. We had to wait for several cars to come and go before we were able to get to the lobby, the next morning, barely in time for the free breakfast, which was being cleaned up by the time we got there. The room was clean annd attractive, but there wa.s no comfortably seating

Pros: it is at an excellent location in NYC only blocks from train station. Price was good given that location. Cons: (these are actual events). The heat in the room was not working properly. No matter what setting, it was blowing out cool air and temp in room never exceeded 70F. Complained to staff multiple times; best response was maybe someone will look at it but don't know when. No one ever came in our one night stay. This is mid Dec in NYC. Additionally, there is only one operational elevator for this 15 stories hotel. That elevator is limited to 8 people. I was in the 7 th floor which means that I was never able to the elevator down.

Great stay!!!
Wonderful stay!!! Check-in very easy and all workers there were wonderful and so friendly! Complimentary water upon check-in and during the stay. Hotel lobby very nice and clean and welcoming. Our room was very nice, clean and quiet. Bed was extra comfy! Bathroom was roomy and clean. Complimentary breakfast was amazing and such a nice perk being in the city. You don't find that at too many hotels around there. Coffee, juices, fruits, yogurts, cereals, eggs, potatoes, meat (sausage patties and links), and pancakes (best little make your own pancake gadget I've ever seen!). Breakfast area was always extremely busy, but all guests were pleasant and patient. Area is fantastic and within walking distance of everything.....stores, restaurants, Penn Station, MGS, other subway entrances, etc. We would definitely stay here again!!!

The hotel was in a great central location with easy access to transportation. The rooms are smaller but clean. The only downfalls are that it was very noisy when the people next door would go in and out and the breakfast area was too small. Otherwise, a great place to stay in New York.

The room size was great but the thermometer was broken in my room and it was FREEZING. I did ask for an extra blanket about 4 times until I said something to the front desk, advising that we’ve asked 4 times for a blanket already in which they admitted they probably don’t have any extra … the walls were also super thin and we could hear every single person talking or slamming their room door. The elevator was broken 2 times during my stay and the 2nd time was when I was leaving the hotel to go the airport and I had a check in and a carry on which I had to carry down 6 flights of stairs … the employees at the front desk are honestly not very pleasant but other than that the room size, comfortability and location of the hotel was pretty good!
