Tourists trap

Great location, horrible situation. It's not the place to be with your boyfriend because you're much too preoccupied with the unsalubrity of the place to relax adequately. It's a dump and the front desk look like shit. AVOID !

A real bargain!

Lobby, elevator and halls seem old and shabby but the room was clean and pleasant, bathroom down the hall was, too. For a "basic hotel" (without a box of Kleenex, but a provided roll of toilet paper to carry to the bath), there were clean towels every day, a small frig, new TV with remote, sink in the room, a/c and fan! I was a woman traveling alone and felt very safe in the neighborhood. Save some $$ on a hotel so you can spend more at the wonderful cafes and restaurants close by.

Clean And Cheap

This hotel is Clean and cheap, I mean if you are like me, spend more time in the city than in the hotel (just to sleep) it is the perfect one... You can lock your door, you will have to share the bathroom but it is always clean... The neighborhood is quiet and it is close enough of a subway station. Next time I am in NY, I will stay there.

Dog House

My business partner and I have traveled around the world including budget hotels in India and Africa. When we got to New York, we were looking for a no frills, quiet, Spartan hotel that we could retire to at the end of the day. We were really exhausted when we got into the city and went straight to the hotel. The outside was nice, but inside was hot and stuffy. The guy that was running the desk told us that there was no room for us because the hotel was being booked by a bunch of college kids for a month and that they had told the booking agency that they couldn't take anyone else. I had just talked with this agency and had gotten it confirmed the week before so I insisted there must be a room. The guy lead us down the grungy halls, passing by the soiled shared bath to the only room he had left. It was worse than anything we had encountered on our travels! There was no air con -fan or otherwise ( you could shove open a window, if you didn't mind a lack of screen). The beds were barely made, there was about 18" in between them and there were no pillows. I won't even begin to describe the rusty, tiny sink that was dripping. Overall, it was a piece of work and the manager and desk person didn't give a rip. the experience led us down a nightmare weekend of trying to find a decently priced room (around $200) during the United Nations' visit to NYC. It took us a few days to recover from lack of sleep and I can only get around to laughing about now.

No Private Bathroom

This is probably the worst hotel I even stay in US. It looks like a dorm/apartment rather than a hotel. The place is very old and has not been remodeled. I can see that it has been repainted several times. The Bathroom is shared among other guests and you have to wait inline to use it. All appliances are old. Despite all bad things, they provide a queen size bed and the service is ok.

The Best Value You'Ll Ever Get In Manhattan

The central heating is inclined to make odd noises in the middle of the night, and the decor isn't exactly pristine, but this is a comfortable, dependable hotel exactly where you want it for a price you can scarcely believe. I stay there every time I go to New York: I like the local cafes and shops and dry cleaners, and it's within a pleasant walk of Lincoln Center and the New York Historical Society and lots of other things -- in fact it's little more than seconds from the big subway station at Broadway and 72nd. It doesn't do food (just a few vending machines -- but there are plenty of cafes around), and you wouldn't schedule a meeting there to impress clients, but what it does it does perfectly.

Only If You'Re Dead Broke, And Enjoy Substandard Everything! Should You Stay Here.

Hello to everyone, I went home to Manhattan for a few days on business. Just a casual meeting so I thought I'd get away without splurging on a hotel. Big Mistake. You get what you pay for. When I first arrived, there was no one to carry my bags. I was put in a TINY room (beautifully renovated...very handsome room...very tropical) The phone didn't work. So they moved me to another room. The phone worked but, none of the outlets supported my charger for my notebook. Some idiot had painted over all of them. The room was chilly and I felt like the entire apartment building across the street could see in the cracked blinds that stopped a few inches short of the ledge. (no curtains) I was fed up, it seemed as if the hotel manager was the handyman, maid, electrician, and general purpose manager all together. No restaurant, no lounge, the lobby was just a sore site for warm eyes. I ended up switching hotels after one night. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE. I did however hear that they're undergoing MAJOR renovations now. So you might want to check them out before you stay there. Oh, and don't fall down the elevator shaft...it's an old fashioned elevator.. if you open the door when it's not on your floor...you go down....fast. And it gets stuck frequently so be prepared to tote your baggage up the narrow stairwells by foot. Did I mention half the hotel is a real college dorm? Ok the list goes on...you get the point.
