  For the price we weren't expecting much more than a place to sleep. And that's all we got. If you're at all claustrophobic, don't go there. Starting with the elevator, then the hallway when you get off the elevator, then finally the room. The bed took up the whole room. We had to pile our suitcases in front of the door when we went to sleep at night. The ""kitchenette"" consisted of a microwave on top of a small refrigerator, which was so noisy we had to unplug it so we could sleep. The t.v. only got a few channels. The room was clean, but lots of stains on the walls and rugs. The staff was not very friendly. No one ever looked up as we were coming and going. You got the feeling that anyone could walk in and not be questioned. Also, they only had one room key to give us, which made things a little awkward at times. Other than that, the area is great.

  This hotel was referred to us by a co-worker in our home town. He lived in Queens before moving to Atlanta. This hotel is owned by a friend of his family and it was just about what we expected for the money. It is not a 5 star hotel, but it does not come with a 5 star price. It is clean, safe, and comfortable. Its location was great for getting a taxi or the subway. My wife and I did not spend a great deal of time in the room or at the hotel. We came to NYC to see the sites not to spend time in a hotel room. The money we saved we were able to go and see a Broadway play [front row seats] and have dinner at a fine restaurant near Times Square. Each morning for breakfast we would walk only two blocks to Broadway and there were several restaurants nearby. We had a great time at Zabar's. It must be where the friendly locals go each morning and they asked where are you from, etc. One gentleman worked on Wall Street, another was a manufacture's representative, and the other was into art and music. The 82 Street cafe had good home cooked meals. After breakfast we were a short distance to the subway for a day's activities. This hotel is located in an excellent location including Central Park. The next time we are in the NYC area, we will have to stay there again!

  Stayed for a few days with my girlfriend. 2 room suite worked out fine. We brought food to have breakfast in the room -- used refrigerator and microwave provided. Hotel is close to Broadway restaurants, train. Never had to take a cab. Nice neighborhood -- felt safe at all times. Staff didn't offer help, but when asked provided relevant info and service: examples are directions, suggestions of good nearby restaurants, plates, cups and utensils, and wake-up calls. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Rooms cleaned each day, no problem. Hotel is minimalist compared to others, but clean rooms, refrigerator and microwave, comfortable beds, convenient, safe location made up for other amenities. My friend and I agreed that we got a good value for the inexpensive price we paid and enjoyed spending the money saved on New York City attractions. We both want to stay there next time we go to NYC.

  Despite a wonderful review in the Washington Post, we found this room to smell like the backdraft of a fireplace or fire, paint literally was peeling off the wall and ceiling, and the ceiling had some sort of funky pink fungus growing while the walls had ashy handmarks. The corridor was dark and dank and we checked out as soon as possible. I'll never stay here again.

  The satff was rude and not helpful with information; they lost my reservation (for a holiday week); paint peeling off of the walls; elevators are small and very slow; dirty walls and carpet.For the price, I didn't expect luxury but my expectations were for a clean room, NOT met. The bathroom was clean, bed was clean and comfortable
