Old building, had very old radiator that started banging violently at 3am Windows are not sound resistant at all, noise wise it feels like you’re sleeping outside. They should mention that there’s is no elevator.

We loved our stay. The room was small but clean and had what we needed, and was a great value / rare find. We were in a fourth floor walkup but the staff offered to help us with our luggage; very sweet. Our stay was easy and we'd stay there again!

The room was a million degrees it was actually crazy. The thermostat did not work at all. It was already so hot in the building but coming back to our room at night literally felt like walking into a sauna. It was radiator heating too so there was a hot ass pole in the corner of the room. I genuinely would not be surprised if this building burnt down one day. The check in process was weird too. I had to take like three different photos of my debit card and then enter all the information. Kinda worried I’m gonna get scammed. No elevators btw. Staff was nice enough though

The entry codes to the room and front were worked perfectly. Room was very clean. Shared bath was easily managed. The room was comfortable, however they should provide a bedside lamp. All the light switches are at the door. Room is pretty dark with no windows. The room had all the extras you would expect in a hotel. It was located in a good area easily accessible from the 18th street subway station.

Honestly, for the price that you are paying for the service was above it. The staff was very courteous. The room itself from as far as I could tell was very clean. I enjoyed my stay.

It's an old hotel, and you can hear all the noise from outside and from the other rooms. There's no elevator, and you have to be careful with the heating unit because it can burn you. The rooms are small but comfortable. You have to pay extra if you want housekeeping, but the location is EXCELLENT.
