    • Prime location! Room was small but clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Cons -

    • There was no hot water; it was a fifth floor walk-up; the sheets smelled musty; the carpeting was ripped up.
    • The hotel had no hot water, and no elevator. The hotel has been without hot water for weeks now. They promised a refund of 30% for the inconvenience, I'm not expecting I'll actually see it. Luckily it was only a one night stay. I'd not go back.
    • The sheets were dirty, I had to ask for pillowcases when I arrived, there was no way to regulate the temperature (and it was so hot in the room). To try to get some cool air I opened the window which opened to a shaft in which pigeons lived.

    Prime location! Room was small but clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Lack of elevator, but the stairs weren?t too steep.

    7JonathanPosted on: 1-22-2025

    Cannot beat the location

    Could not get the heater to work. Walls were thin and could hear neighbors snoring.

    6Verified guestPosted on: 12-6-2024

    Location was great and the staff was pleasant.

    No elevator which made it hard going up to the fourth floor. Room is a decent size small room, bathroom is really small, almost hard to turn around in, but it is NYC.

    Location, room cleanliness, price

    9Verified guestPosted on: 10-11-2024

    Location was perfect for walking to the events we were attending

    Lack of an elevator -- The staff did bring our bags (2 very small overnight bags) to our room -- we were on the 5th floor.

    7EricPosted on: 4-17-2024

    The location is great if you are seeing a lot of shows in and around Times Square. Tons of restaurants are along 8th and 9th too.

    The location on 8th and only being on the 2nd floor meant a lot of noise came into the room. We slept fine, but only because we bought ear plugs to use. As noted in the hotel's description, there is no elevator so you'll be on a lower floor.

    Location, low cost

    Poor soundproofing to hallway and other rooms

    Great location! Clean, modern, minimalistic rooms. There is no elevator, and you have to take the stairs, which forces me to get some exercise.

    I was here in February. It was cold outside, but the room was EXTREMELY HOT! There is NO WAY of adjusting the temperature in the individual rooms. I had to keep a window open, but even then, it was too hot to sleep at night. There is no ELEVATOR!

    9StevePosted on: 2-22-2024

    The location is undefeated. Spent a ton of time out and about, and it was great to be so close to everything on my checklist! Perfect location, very clean, and friendly staff. Will absolutely be back!

    The room is small but is perfect for solo travelers!

    Tv wasn¿t working bathroom was dirty with hair on the shower floor had climb 5 flights of stairs didn¿t know.

    Not a thing.

    4 story walk up, no elevator. Staff was clueless. Room was mediocre at best. Rugs in hotel were dirty. Bed frame was broken. I can go on and on.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-12-2024

    Location, nice staff, sleepers provided

    Be aware about couple of things: 1. Stairs. Hotel has 5 floors and doesn't have an elevator 2. Room size - rooms are small. Very small. You will have your bed and tiny space for standing

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-11-2024

    Location is perfect.

    Stayed 4 nights.On the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, the TV wasn't working. When I asked the female receptionists downstairs, they merely agreed "yes,tvs are down"n didn't apologize or explain or say that it's being looked into,they were on cellphones all times. Sad!

    Nothing room to small not worth my money

    My grandson was with me and the television in the room I requested a room change and they wouldn't change my room.

    5Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-5-2024

    It was less than $--- night and right off Broadway!

    The "two single beds" are bunk beds. They are very squeaky and would be hard for anyone with mobility issues to get into the top bunk. The mattresses are crib mattress style, and you get one sheet/blanket thing and one bed pillow and one throw pillow.

    If you can handle stairs,this hotelis ffor you. Super clean, well appointed, tiny room with a wet bath (shower doesn't splash on the commode, but the floor throughout gets soaked). Staff was super friendly and helpful. You CAN hear neighbors. Loved it!

    No complaints. Great price for the location.
