I loved this stay so much. There’s a subway station less than 2 blocks away and it made getting around so much easier. Lots of great food options nearby. Staff was great and super friendly. Very clean (rooms and bathrooms as well as common areas). Will definitely come back here when I come back to New York!

Minimal bathrooms/showers for the entire floor and a long walk from your room. Property is dated, but well taken care of. Love the proximity to the subway.
