OK but a lot of things were NOT OK
The room was about 8x20. The bed was fine. The sink was small but manageable. The room seemed clean. The TV worked fine, with a good array of channels. However, the water pressure in the shower was abominable - mostly just a relative trickle and the temperature varied widely. The electric sockets at the sink didn't work at all, though the circuit breaker light was lit. I had to crawl behind a side table to find a plug that worked to charge my phone. And I was socked with a separate facilities fee, that supposedly covered my Internet, the minimal toiletries in the room and the right to store my luggage, which I didn't need. The location is not that great. I'd rather they just honestly up the basic room price instead of playing pricing games. So I will not be staying there again.

Good experience
This was a neat experience and I recommend you try it. We had a small room with a bunk bed. The restroom and showers are in the hallway, you just swipe in when vacant. The only complaint is that we could not control then thermostat and it got very hot in our room.

Absolutely fantastic location - mid town manhattan 10/10 Walkable to a lot of landmarks e.g times sq, 5th ave, st patricks cathederal, rockefeller centre etc - 10/10 Service and staff including the night security was excellent, they were helpful and efficient. - 10/10 Room was affordable and reasonable given the time of year! Room itself was small (to be expected) but there's under the bed storage and enough for a case or 2. Room itself was clean, tidy, shared bathrooms were good too - only downside is the bed is okay, decent sleep but could be comfier and the quilt is very thin. (With room heating tjough, this wasn't too bad and you can ask for an extra blanket). Rooftop view was pretty cool - 9/10 All in all a decent hotel, with good facilities and in a great location.

4 star rating for this property. For the shared bathroom, I recommend bringing a plastic bag so you can put your toiletries and clothes inside and to hang it on the wall in the shared bathroom. Otherwise you have to put it on the sink or on the toilet which I think is unsanitary. Bathroom was definitely regularly cleaned. The space in the bathroom is pretty small. I am a 5’4 woman who is around 110 lbs, and when I sat on the toilet my knees touched the wall in front of me. And while I shower often my body touched the wall as well. So I won’t recommend if you are someone who wants big spaces. Housekeeping: The housekeeping person took the pizza box I had on the table with few pizzas inside. Also, the day when I put “do not disturb” sign on the door, someone came in and organized one of our bunk bed and also left the ladder against the wall. Staff: The lady in the front was not so nice, but all the other people were kind and helpful. Overall, the stay was comfortable and not bad thinking of its price. I would come again if I have to visit new york again.

Service was ok, when I was heading to my room the hallway smelled like smoke and other bad smells. In my room the heater was not working. The room felt unsafe and in bad condition.
