This was a fine place to stay. In the listing they advertised the room as a King bed but it’s definitely a Double. It said there would be a coffeemaker which wasn’t true. Those things didn’t wreck or stay, but just tell the truth about what you offer. We had to ask for a second pillow and towel set, only 1 provided in a booking for 2 adults. We got a good night’s sleep and the location offers easy subway access.

the room condition was good for the price. Bed and bedding was the best, very comfortable/firm, 100 % cotton. Large TV in room but the internet was spotty, so only worked 50% of the time. Building and shared areas very dated. No coffee, microwave or fridge in the room. not the best neighborhood, but 5 minutes from the train station. Did not cleaned the room or picked-up the trash in 6 days. The AC controls were damaged, so the we had to shut it off.

I have had issues with my stay ever since check in. The first room that was given to me already had someone in it. I had to go back downstairs and get a new room. Then the new room had towels that looked like they were already used, a lamp that doesn't work, and a TV with no remote so we couldn't turn it on. So again my husband and I went back downstairs to ask for a remote and towels. No one ever brought new towels and we was told a technician would bring us a remote in the morning. We went downstairs at approximately 9:30 am and the worker at the desk had no idea a out our complaint. So the front desk people don't communicate. So she told us a technician would bring us a remote by the afternoon. My husband and I left the room and came back around 8pm and still the TV didn't work and no towels. So AGAIN we went back to the front desk and finally a technician was called. The technician came but couldn't fix the TV and just left. We were not given a new room until the last night of our stay. The staff was not helpful, accommodating, or friendly.

The area was kind of awful, had to park a block away because there wasn’t in parking spots in the area. To securely park your car you had to pay $25 and that wasn’t bad but the next day, they told me it would be $35. We actually left a day early because of the area, hospitality and the non cleanliness of the room. NEVER AGAIN

It was a very 3rd world experience. At 1am neighbors were speaking in loudly in Spanish, blasting music and slamming doors. The shower water was cold. I was relieved to check out and would not stay again even if they paid me.

Front desk was very helpful but the hotel looked nothing like the pictures. It was in a sketchy neighborhood and the rooms don’t have much lighting, no trash can other than the bathroom. The bathroom didn’t even have tp had to go down to the front desk to ask for it. Basic hotel room things were missing like air drying, trash bin, phone, ect. Will say it’s very close to a metro station which was very nice

Clean room and comfortable beds. Hotel was a bit dated . Ice machine broken. No dressers in the room. It was exactly what I was expecting for the price and location. The neighborhood is not bad it's more industrial. I felt safe with my daughter. The hotel was quiet. Very quick and easy access via subway and Uber to Manhattan. Excellent value if you are just staying a few days. I don't think I would recommend for a longer stay but was just what I needed for a weekend. If you are the time that like to stay in the hotel a lot this would not be for you. Comfy and clean place if all you need is somewhere to sleep.

Clean room, bathroom was little run down but still good I thought, they didn’t have a do not disturb sign in my room so I asked the front desk if they had anymore but they didn’t. I didn’t require maid service at my stay there, so I wanted the sign. I wouldn’t mind staying again there.
