This is a great hotel and the staff and common areas are great. The rooms are updated and, while small, are good for the price. Outside of the reception and first floor areas, the common areas are dated but fine. There is a great coffee shop on the first floor.

Originally we were given a room that was extremely tiny. I asked for another room and they gave us a room where one side of the bed was against the wall, so I had to climb over my husband to get into the bed. As an 87 year old that was extremely uncomfortable and dangerous.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The overall property was nice but I was not expecting to spend another $137 on amenities/facilities. I had my two daughters with me who are under the age of 21 which only allowed for two hours to use the rooftop restaurant. So we were never able to make that time as it was always booked. The lighting in the bathroom in the bunk room needs to be improved.

Really great hotel, perfect location. Good room size for New York. One elevator was out but cannot control that and it didn’t cause much delay. Room and staff were really nice and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

Pretty good all around, spacious room, very clean. But right below the nightclub--ridiculous amount of bass, like, RIDICULOUS. Had to blast the white noise and it still really didn't cover it. Won't stay again for this reason, too many other places nearby to book.

Great location. The hotel was clean and we liked how they distributed the layout on the room for the queen bed and the individual bunk bed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved how close it’s from a subway station.

This place is budget friendly, slightly hip, but lacks simple things like a plastic cup so you could take your meds. First night had towels, bath mat, washcloth and hand towels... second night had one lone bath towel and nothing else.
