we stayed at this hotel on feb 29th for 2nights .the only good thing about it was its good location to the subway .
we had a package deal booked by a travel firm as we were only sepnding 2 nights here before moving on to a cruise .
as soon as we walked through the door i knew we would be dissapointed .It has a very small reception which is just desk by alift with a bench to sit on it has no other facilitys whatsoever .
we were allocated a room on the 4th floor , on exiting the lift we were in a corridor that was littered with empty cleaning buckets and general rubbish and this was 8pm at night , we wound our way down the dirty corridor to what you called our room , it consisted of a double bed ,1 bedside cupboard , a wardrobe that looked about 50 yrs old with a tv of the same era dumped on top.Yes it was clean and so was the small bathroom , however the decor needs seriuos attention. , the window had blinds of the same era which when opened gave the most depressing sight of 4 brick walls around you with other windows you had to keep them shut and block out all light or you were looked in upoun .
had we not had good weather in new york and had to suffer being in this hotel i do not know what we would have done we only went to the room to sleep as we were out sight seeing for most of the 2 days .
the sleeping was not easy either when not being woken up by noise through the the thin walls or people talking in the small
corridors , you were woken up by the very noisy heating system
at approx 5 am it comes to life with the most alarming noises of banging and gushing water .
the subway is only 2 blocks away which was good but other than that there is only a small cafe /takeway on the street a few doors down or a small cafe bar about 3 b locks down near the garage , so nothing to keep you occupied near the hotel
this is not a hotel i would ever recomend and i would never ever return we were with freinds who were also not impressed .
If you are happy to rough it then fine but if like us you expect a good standard of room then stay away
