This is a good budget pick. You can tell this place was nice when it was first built, but now its past its prime. Highlights are the clean room and friendly staff. The breakfast was mid, and the conditions of the hallways poor, it took a few minutes for the hot water to run, but for less than $100 and 1 mile from 8th ave. Not bad.
