I stayed here with my friend for 3 nights and 4 days. Yes the room was TINY but it doesn't matter because you're in there to sleep. The room we had was a bunk bed and I was happy that there was a sink with soap and towels. The beds were that, just a bed, nothing luxurious. A desk and a safe were also a plus too. The location was stellar. For the price, you can't beat the location. There is a 24 hour McDonald's down the street and it is about a 15 minute walk to Times Square with tons of restaurants and shops. The subway was our go-to, especially to get to Central Park, which was around a 25-30 minute walk. It was nice to take transportation on our way back to our room! Pretty much everything is local and expect to walk from 15 to 30 minutes to your tourist sites. If you are planning to do the hop on, hop off red bus, you are very close from the hotel to the stops.

Dated and rundown. I felt like I was staying at a motel where people cheat on their spouses and the blanket in my first room supported that conclusion. However, the staff was nice and accommodated me when I asked for another room.

I didn’t realize that I booked a room with a shared bathroom. It’s basically like a dorm in college. Room was small, but I expected that. With it being New York and all. Location isn’t too far away from Times Square, just a 15 minute walk. I probably won’t ever book again just because I like my own space. Staff was very nice and easy check in.
