Perfect for low-budget access to NYC

I have stayed here twice, and it remains my first choice for future stays as well.
No, it's not a fancy five-star hotel. But yo get a room, a bed, and its affordable. Yes, the room colors are gaudy, there's 8 layers of paint, and the doors seem to have had locks changed 100 times. But it works, its a great location, and I always felt safe. Great restaurants, a great jazz club (Smoke), an authentic bagelry, and the subway (1-2-3 Red line) are in easy walking distance. You can get *anywhere* in Manhattan from here.
If you're a priss expecting luxury, go elsewhere - and pay for it. If you're a budget-conscious traveller who needs a place to lay your head while you spend your money in the garment district, at the theater, or at ESPN, and you're flexible and easy-going - THIS is the place.

Bring Your HazMat Suit

This place is a joke... view their site and you'll get tricked into thinking you'll get a sterile, functional, bug free room... it's all a lie! Our bottom bunk didn't even have linens, they lie about amenities right down to the air conditioning. Don't stay on the 5th floor either, cause if there is a fire, you'll surely die. The pictures on their website are from a different location, and are nothing less than pure deceit. For the real pictures go to www.portlandmusicians.com/gallery/dump. I'd never stay here again, and would not even advise my worst enemy to stay here. The homeless would run screaming away from this place.

Sham!

This place is the worst. Came to NYC to visit friends. When we arrived the desk attendant tried to "check us in" at their "other location". When we demanded a room at the location we had reserved we were told that there was none available. We returned the next morning and had to pay cash in advance for our 5 day stay. What a mistake! When we saw the room it looked like a death trap. We spent one horrible, sleepless night. The following morning we decided to check-out and request a refund. We got the run around and no money back. Basically the place is run by scam artists who pry on unsuspecting tourists. They should be shut down. DO NOT STAY at this hell hole.

Nightmare!!

This is undoubtedly the worst place you can imagine staying. The photos and info displayed on the web site are completly misleading. After you`ve checked in and enter the lift, it just becomes worse and worse. The rooms are disgusting. There is no form of room service like linen/towel changing no matter how long you`re staying, the staff are incredibly rude, and seem to be the dumbest and most unhelpful shower of dorks I`ve ever meet in my life. I stayed here two years ago and some homeless dude that I had been giving money to on Broadway kicked my door down while I was sleeping on my last night and threatened me. Again the staff were completely unable to handle the situation. I had to persuade him out on to the street with cigarettes and a few quid, and push a wardrobe up against my broken down door for the rest of the night.
So why did I stay twice? It`s cheap if you`re staying for a long time. It`s very central beside Broadway and Central Park and it seems to be a pretty...... Read more
