For New York City, Hotel 17 is a great value. But don't expect amenities like room service, complimentary breakfast, or even an ironing board or in-room coffee maker. This is a bare bones hotel meant to just sleep in and drop off your luggage. The Wifi is also very spotty, so if internet access is essential during your visit, you'd have better luck going to an internet cafe. We were given a room with a double bed and shared bathroom. My main complaint was being assigned a room in the smoking section.
But the good news is the location and the relative cleanliness of the shared bathrooms. Hotel 17 is located in the East Village, very close to St. Mark's place and restaurants such as Veselka and Otafuku and bars such as Decibel.
Despite its no frills approach, I would stay here again.
