Stayed here for DragCon. Saw many other LGBTQIA members staying here too. The staff isn’t that friendly, from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. All staff members never said hi, or anything; they just stared at me unless I spoke to them first. Elevator did not work, but the front desk staff member didn’t say anything about it until after we had stood there for a while, then told us the stairs were on the other side. Other than that, comfortable room and bed. Excellent walking distance to the Metro and Grand Central Market.

If your in a pinch and need a place to just crash for the night because there is no where else. This would be it. Other than that no. I would barely call this a hotel for it felt more like a motel. The room was super tight, tiny, and very grimy. It’s very apparent that the Hotel has not updated its appliances and furniture in what seems like decades. Very beat up furniture and old flooring and shower stall. There was long dark black hair in my bed when i pulled the covers back… i have brown hair. I got maybe 2 hours of sleep from what i was kept up all night with ambulances, cop sirens, people racing, the screams of the damned, and some kid pulling the fire alarm… Though i don't hold that against this hotel for i forgot ear plugs, but it gives you an idea of what kind of area this is. My window had a beautiful view of a worn out brick wall. Amenities were not filled where there was no hand soap. I decided to skip a shower because of how grimy the tile looked and i had no shower sandals with me. The staff on the other hand was super nice very helpful. Except for when the fire alarm was pulled the manager was extremely annoyed to tell us that there was no fire and was yelling at his employee to calm down. It was honestly cringe to watch and hear that. No employee should be yelled at in front of customers in that way. Beware over night parking has its own separate fee of $40 a night. Also the parking garage is EXTREMELY TIGHT. So be careful going in and out.
