10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel in a very convenient location. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but comfortable. My room did have some wear and tear but overall it was still good. It's not fancy but it's everything you need and clean. This was my second time staying here and I would stay here again. Breakfast was not included in my stay but they do have a small cafe and restaurant where you can get food on the fourth floor of the hotel. There's a split elevator design so you have to take one elevator from the lobby to the fourth floor, then get out and walk around the corner to take another elevator to the actual rooms. I didn't mind this because it made the rooms feel more secured from outsiders. Overall I enjoyed my stay."

"Great location, great price. Only issue(s) are minor. Wall A/C is loud, so T.V. Volume has to be somewhat high. Another traveler below our room decided to call cops rather than ask the building manager to handle it; but hey… what’s New York without a little crazy. Elevators are old, so a bit small… but better than walking 14 stories!!! Will stay here again next time."
