I booked a room due to the good rating of the "On The Ave" Hotel (which is probably manipulated by the Hotel).
The interior design of the rooms is actually good though the rooms are very small and a bit noisy which could be average if you "only" pay roundabout 200 $ in New York - though it is quite a long walk to the central park (not to mention to the centre). Since it was my first time in NY I can not answer this question.
There was too much stuff in the armoire that its door could not be closed. After walking barefoot you had to take a shower. The blindings were completely broken. The windows haven't been cleaned for about a decade.
Unfortunately I made a few phone calls of a few minutes. They charged me 190$ for it! Asking the hotel manager about that he answered: "Well, I am not doing anything illegal". And they mentioned that they charged an other guest for one phone call more than 1000$. Unless you are not a lawyer looking for a dirty room for 200 $ I can not recommend the "On The Ave" Hotel.
