A small hotel with no amenities. The price is unbeatable for this great location, plus you get a private (even if small) bathroom - a deal you will not find at this price level anywhere on Manhattan. The hotel is clean, but aged. Expect some loud heating/ACs, old pipes and issues with getting the shower adjusted.
There are different types of rooms in the hotel. I had a double-bed room on the first night, and it was REALLY tiny. Just the bed and a small writing table, bathroom close to the size of a closet, almost no place left to open a suitcase. All rooms have TVs (even if small and old).
The second night, I had a queen-size room. This was MUCH bigger, with bigger bathroom and even a small built in closet.
ATTENTION - there was a long-term construction going on just next door (March 2012). Some rooms (like my room on the first day) are facing the construction site and are VERY loud as of 6.30 am (including weekends). I have asked for a room change and got it, but the hotel is usually well booked, so you may not be that lucky. Please check with them on the phone.
There is no breakfast in the hotel, but Le Pain just across the street and Starbucks two blocks away. Subway close by - with direct connection to JFK.
