    Loved the room and bathroom

    Check in process wasn¿t emailed to me as needed so was a hassle to get in

    The location is excellent. It was very clean, staff were helpful on the phone every time I called.

    I'm not great with stairs and the filling out of the registration form was a bit odd.

    its a super location for the price of this hotel. The room was incredibly clean, and the bed was comfortable. This is a contactless establishment but the staff was responsive the one time I had to get in touch. Bathroom was only shared with one other room

    did not realize my booking was for a room with no windows. Tv screen had damaged by the closet door. Shared bathroom instructions were ambiguous - bathroom trash was not cleared for 3 days. When they came, they took away the TP without replacement.

    It was close to my son's college. It was clean & a good value for NYC

    Would prefer door keys or cards over the door codes.

    4Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 12-13-2022

    Location was very good

    The room was freezing, literally 10 degrees even though the heat was set to 28 degrees. It clearly wasn¿t working and they told me no one is there to look at it. It¿s a contactless hotel but they didn¿t send me info to check in so I was unable to get

    Exceeded expectations! Bathroom is shared with one other room. Clean and secure. I expected the stairs, and they were totally fine.

    Check in was a little weird¿ they expected me to have gotten some sort of check in email that was never sent.

    The location.

    1. The hotel has five floors and no elevator. This fact is not revealed. 2. The room is pretty small and its furnishing does not justify the price. 3. The hotel has no personnel for check-in.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-8-2022

    Location. Clean.

    Took a while to find check in clerk

    There was a major fire in one of the rooms while I stayed. This resulted in construction , noise and equipment left in the hallway to make daily repairs. It ruined the peacefulness of the stay. There was no compensation offered for the inconvenience.

    Location was great, so was the price. The room was very clean and very nice. Although it was a shared bathroom, the bathroom was very very clean

    A lot is stairs...

    It's old, small, cheap; should be a 2 star rating

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-20-2018

    Location was excellent.

    4-story walk-up. First stay was on 4th floor, second stay was on 3rd floor. That said, didn't mind it.

    10LaurelPosted on: 4-12-2018

    Perfect location. Quiet and welcoming with very gracious 24 hour staff

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-5-2018

    It was quite, cozy and the staff was awesome and the location was perfect

    Nope!

    Room decor with the exposed brick Great location Cool demable lighting in room.

    Had hair and blood stains on sheets. New set also had wads of hair. Lobby music and tv were loud all night long Staff was not too excited to help check us in. We changed rooms. First one was in a construction area in the basement by boiler room.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-26-2017

    Terrific location, the staff were quite friendly and helpful, and although the rooms are compact, they are well-maintained and ideal for visitors who are in town for just a couple of days.

    No, the hotel exceeded my expectations. (I had stayed once before and found it to be quite good, but it was even better this time.)
