Spotless room & very nice staff. We didn’t get the exact room that we booked (queen) and ended up in a studio instead with two beds, but it was very large & probably would have been more expensive than what we booked. We will definitely stay again!

Small but great location for the budget-minded. Bathrooms are separate and shared, which can be a plus… six-block walk to Radio City and the theater district, less to the UN, a tiny bit further to MOMA. No complaints!

This hotel is in the vicinity of so many areas of the city you'd want to visit. Most of them walkable. Across the street is a lovely and serene urban park. Dining options are plenty. This is the perfect place if you don't mind minimalist fare in accommodation. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed how available the shared barhrooms are, 2 per floor yet always available. I really liked how i could store my luggage for free in the lobby after checkout. The rooftop terrace is a nice bonus, with a view from 14 floors high. Had nice and quiet neighbors and made a noce experience staying here.
