We read through many of the reviews on your site. We were prepared to
see what we would get. It was as explained on this site. Very small, and not fancy at all.
Yes, the rooms are cramped, carpet dirty, peeling paint and broken channel changer. But the beds were comfortable, the sheets were spotlessly clean, absolutely no bugs!!! Just a place to shower and sleep. Nothing else to do here. Don't stay in less than the suite size or you'll really be cramped.
Staff was friendly, and location is fantastic! Only a few blocks from
Broadway. The bus runs just a block away from here, and the subway only 3 blocks. We took the Metro bus from La Guardia all the way over
to 110th street. Then we took the subway over to 72nd street, and we were there! Takes only 7 minutes to get from this hotel to Times Square. Very safe neighborhood, and quiet. Great restaurants all around here up and down a few blocks on Broadway.
One word of caution: the rooms are not secured with deadbolts. They really need to install those. One night we woke up to hearing someone screaming at the top of their lungs in the hallway that they had been robbed. Needless to say we did NOT open the door for anything after we turned in for the night.
Another morning, I went out one set of doors to go downstairs to use the ironing board and iron. There was a man, dirty, belly hanging out passed out on the stairway floor. I figured I could make a break for it if I walked fast. And I did. Asked the hotel staff to get him out of there as there seemed to be a homeless man on the stairs. They said he was living there and probably drunk. They did chase him away and told him he could not continue to sleep there.
Would I go back? Sure, but I'd be very cautious about asking to stay
on one of the upper floors. Probably not as many problems the farther
up you go. I would not consider going unless I could rent a suite again. There were 3 of us in one room. The room was split into 2 sides. One side was separated by a shower/bathroom. The room had two outside doors to the lobby.
However, the neighborhood is very nice indeed!
