There was no functioning AC in our room, so it was very hot. The hotel refunded one of our two nights. Since there is no staff on premises, things like this can be problematic.

Fair Hotel but nothing special.

Overall this is a no-frills hotel. Relatively quiet. Room was OK but nothing special. Bed was about 18 inches off the ground. Bathroom was very generic.

Small and noisy

Stay away from the ground floor rooms as they are at street level by the lobby and very noisy. Generally small room that work ok for one… even the double rooms, but very tight if you are two.

The room had a metal double bunk bed (with broken welds) with about 18 inches of room on one side. No desk, no chair but a small fridge and some shelving that looked like it was picked up off the curb somewhere. The bathroom is tiny but the shower was a good size. The shower was dirty and had some mold. The bathroom sink had a slow drain and the AC didn't work initially but saw the service person and he was able to fix both items quickly. We just had carry on luggage but there is no place to put it where it didn't get in the way. I put my knapsack on top of the shelf and it got coated in dust. I asked if we could check out early and get a refund but received no response. This is a place that maximizes profit over customer service. I recommend paying a further $100 per night to stay somewhere nicer (NYC is crazy expensive). Unfortunately, there is not much available in this area of the city which is why the hotel gets away with sub par conditions.

Jasmine was very helpful. Rooms are small but clean and efficient with great views. 1 block from the famous Katz deli, and a few blocks from the always fun saint marks place. Definitely check out the roof for great pictures and a cool hang out spot.

Our room was on the first floor with a tiny window facing the sidewalk. People could see straight in if it wasn’t for the curtains. I felt claustrophobic. The bed was uncomfortable and very noisy.

The front desk staff, when present, were very kind and helpful. I asked to not be on the first floor due to safety concerns, which was not acknowledged. There were coffee and snacks available daily. The area surrounding the hotel is very busy and loud, which we were aware of, but the hotel walls were so thin you could hear everything both inside and outside. We got almost no sleep because of this. The bed was uncomfortable, the shower was in poor condition, and out toilet had no lid to it, which made the bathroom feel gross. Our friends who were also staying in the hotel had a completely different set up (a tub, a toilet with a lid) on the second floor, so I am unclear as to why the rooms vary so drastically.
