    Poor communication. My flight was delayed until the next day. Despite many attempts to let them know and request to hold the reservation, it took them more than 24 hours to get back to me. I tried phone (many times), Hotel.com messaging and Hotel.com help desk (where they finally replied after > 24 hours). I don't need this kind of stress on top of the missed flight.

    This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Uncomfortable bed, dirty bathrooms, tiny space, unfriendly staff. I will never stay here again.

    The room was clean, but had scuffing all over the floor. The bathrooms were clean at night, but not in the morning or at mid day. They were all out of toilet paper until are at least after 12pm. This was almost like a youth hostile.

    Bathroom showers had issues. Not a fancy place at all. However, we were in NYC to explore NYC. Getting a cheaper room let us explore NYC more. Not a place to stay if you want to hang out in your room. Close to central park and a subway station. They have a fresh fruit vendor a block away onnthe xorner. Loved that place!!

    They do a great service by providing budget accommodation in NY. Staff was super helpful and responsive to my requests. Convenient location, safe area. A previous review mentioned the $10 daily fee that should have been added up front. They said they’d notified their partners so maybe an oversight by Expedia. The mini store in the pics is not there but plenty of places within a block to buy things.
