Beware--Bedbugs!
I stayed at this hotel for four nights in what will be the first and last time. The room appeared clean with new wooden floors. The shower is unpredictable, there is no elevator and it's noisy. It is fairly well located, near multiple subway lines. I thought the price was good for NYC these days. Not so! I awoke the morning of check out with numerous welts on my face that I didn't connect with insect bites. By the following day I was literally covered with itchy welts, bedbug bites, on mostly my upper body. About a hundred or slightly more. When I called to report this to the hotel manager, he denied having a problem there.
I've had to take preventative measures since my return home in hopes that I didn't bring this problem with me. Don't stay here!

I showed the bellman my copy of the reservation that clearly said 2 beds were requested. He made a quick call to the front desk & said they had another room with 2 beds on another floor. This surprised me, as this hotel has no elevator & upon realizing this, I had requested a room on a lower floor because my friend has difficulty climbing stairs. I was told there were no other room available. So after climbing up 4 flights of stairs, we were being taken downstairs to another floor. The second room was so small that there was barely room to walk around the beds. It was so dark & dingy that cavern-like is the only way to describe it. We immediately took the phone book out of the drawer & began calling other hotels. Luckily we were able to find one, albeit in another area of the city. When we went down to the desk t...Read more

Clean, And Quiet
The accommodations are small but clean and adequate for two people who want to be out in the city rather than in a hotel room. The free bagel and coffee breakfast really made this a bargain. I would stay here again.

Room Unavailable - Sold Out
We had a reservation but when we arrived after a 2 hour ride we learned that there were no rooms available. The hotel paid our cab fare to another hotel and we had to pay an additional $40.00 for that room. A very bad experience
