This place has gone downhill

Bed was terribly uncomfortable. Loud music each night till after 2. Could hear neighbors having sex. Thermostat was malfunctioning and the room was so hot we had to open the windows in January. Sink faucet was constantly leaking, was loose, and one of the valves was installed backwards. Shower head was damaged and spurted most water pressure away from you. Lights were flickering. Window blinds were broken. I stayed here 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. But it seems they just aren't maintaining the hotel well.

I loved everything about this hotel. My only complaint, which is not really a complaint, is that the Broken Shacker closed at 12 PM on a Saturday when the website said 1 or 2 AM. My family and I were meeting up and we loved it! Staff is super friendly and the Cafe is good food at a great price. Many train stations nearby too!!

Property is in excellent condition although older. We stayed in a Private Quad (4 people, 2 bunk beds) and somewhat tight space especially for the upper beds due to low ceiling. I would suggest removing the large TV screen in front of the window to create more space and bring in more light. 2 robes provided, clean and modern bathroom and fresh towels. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great location, especially if you don’t mind walking, near subway stations. For short stays and great prices, I’d stay there again.

Nice place outside the craziness of nyc. Easy access to subway to get around. It’s loud if you’re on the top floors. We stayed on 16 and could here the music from the bar all night long, I’m sure lower floors were a little quieter
