We stayed in a bunk room and it’s not easy to get in and out of the upper bunk or the lower bunk. The lights were hard to figure out the bathroom door doesn’t want to stay closed. The hot water in the shower makes a horrible noise if you have the sink on. There is a window, but nothing to see.

This is a decent and clean Hotel is you are on a budget. The rooms are small but it’s well located and I wouldn’t stay there for too many nights though and btw the bathroom it’s right there in the room without much privacy so keep that in mind if you are staying with so someone else. This is the perfect Hotel if you are traveling alone in my opinion and on a budget. Again, not bad but it is what it is.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was able to check in super early (it changed my first day significantly - for good). The hotel is supper close to Grand Central and Bryant Park. It was a great location and a great experience.

Originally had a full size booked, was upgraded to a queen for free. Everyday room was cleaned with bed being made and fresh towels. Was perfect for my stay and just what I needed.

Great staff as always, from front desk to bar, but the rooms are getting a bit worn and the price is not as competitive as it was to warrant the lack of basic amenities. Still ok for one or two nights if you're spending the day out.

The room is too small for a Queen bed, which is one of our requirements in selecting a room. The bed was less than a foot from one wall, and a TV mounted on that wall made it nearly impossible to get out on that side of the bed. Management should not have put a Queen bed in such a small room, nor should they have charged as much as they did for such a small room.

The facility fee $22 plus facility fee tz of $2.20 was not mentioned as Hotels website indicated that the price included all fees and taxes. When I checked in it was not mentioned either. The check in person said that I was all paid up and my credit card would only be used if I charged something to the room. Instead I was charged an additional $68.
