A friend and I took one of the bunk rooms at this great hotel in the week running up to Thanksgiving. What an amazing place, seriously! Check-in was completely smooth, as was check-out on the day we left, as well as the service - the hotel booked us onto an airport shuttle bus and held our luggage for us until it was time to leave.
The room itself was, yes, quite small, but it was more than adequate for two girls with big suitcases and a lot of clothes. The personal TV screens and the iPod dock were great touches, as well as the free Wi-Fi. The beds were comfortable - I usually have problems sleeping in a bed that isn't my own, but not here!
We took the shared bathroom option and there were zero problems with this. There were four bathrooms on our floor, and at all times were clean. They're all different as well, so as sad as this may sound, it became a bit of a surprise visiting each one! The rain head showers are incredible - and try and source out one of the bathrooms that has additional back-height jets.
The location as well is fantastic - it's only a few blocks walk along 51st to reach the Rockerfeller area, and from there Times Square is close. The subway is very close, and a few blocks down is a stop for the sightseeing buses. Closer to home, just around the corner from the hotel is a selection of good bars and a café that we ended up having our breakfast in each day - so good!
All in all, the hotel was one of the highlights of our trip, which, in a city like New York, tells you just how good it must have been! Obviously we could have stayed somewhere a lot more expensive to get more amenities, but honestly, why bother when you can save so much money and stay in such a great place as this?
