I should have known I was going to New York and should not skimp by staying in an inexpensive hotel, but the reviews seemed good enough to chance it. We arrived in the evening and the building looked old ... like they took a really old hotel and tried to make it into a modern hotel ... the catch is, they did that very cheeply. Everything about it was cheep. The halls were beyond belief stuffy and when we walked to our room the guests in the rooms we were passed dead bolted their doors. The room had an extremely noisy window unit air condition and the window opened to a wall, so there was no light at all. The room was extremely small and felt dirty. I did not walk around the room without shoes. The bathtub was also stained and black because it was old and unkept, and the bathroom was extremely small (keep in mind that I live in Europe and therefore am used to very small hotel rooms, but this room was uncomfortable).
There was no restaurant or breakfast, which is fine because who wants to stay in the hotel in New York city anyway. The location was fantastic.
Overall, I would not stay at this hotel again. If you are looking to travel on a big budget and don't mind a cheep place, then maybe you would be okay with this hotel, but for those looking for a good steal I would not recommend this hotel.
