It was ok in a pinch.

Overall this stay was fine for one night but it it seems like no one checks to see that the hotel is being properly maintained. The toiletries in the shower look like they haven't been replaced in months ( soap scum on the bottles, one of the bottle's pumps was broken the conditioner was separated like it hadn't been used in years). The toilet paper holder was rusty and the bathroom sink would back up and gurgle very loudly every hour. Bed was pretty hard and uncomfortable. I didn't contact anyone during our stay for these issues bey there is no staff at the hotel and when these things were noticed it was late at night and cold and snowy outside. With it being New York and snowy the hotel doesn't provide any place to put your wet shoes once you enter the room so the floor was wet with dirty salty slush. Overall it could have been worse but it needs a staff onsite to help guests/ maintain a higher standard of service.

The shower was a bit dangerous since the water was leaking outside onto the bathroom floor. I was very concerned for my family’s safety in the bathroom.

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the room was! It looks relatively new and a lot of thought went into the design of the rooms. I love that the room was not carpeted; the bedding was all white (IE. Clean), the mattresses were in protective covers, and no old, dirty box springs. The bed also had no bed skirt to cover a dirty floor underneath. To use the TV, you need your own Netflix or Youtube account to log in to. There is also a conveniently placed HDMI plug on the wall that I assume connects to the TV, but i did not try it. This is a remotely operated hotel, so there is no one at the front desk, but I was contacted ahead of my stay with check in details and it was very easy to check in and out at the kiosk. My key did not work to open the lobby where the breakfast items were (Coffee, tea, granola bars), but someone from the cleaning staff arrived as I was checking out and welcomed me in to get something before I left. I would definitely stay here again!
