Perfect for my needs during business trip. Occupants of bunk bed rooms across the hall were noisy and hung out in the hallways, but we’re not heard when they had the courtesy to go inside their rooms. At check in, desk agents were unfriendly. But check-out agent was wonderful. Left an item behind, and it was easy to pick it up. This is the neighborhood I lived in for 18 years, and this is the first hotel that felt like home. I have three other stays booked here now.

This is a great place to stay if you don't have a lot of cash. New York - Midtown is sort of expensive so it's good for a four or five day stay. Of course the rooms are very small and there are no refrigerators in the room so it was hard to get food and put it away if you could not eat it all. On the other hand, there is a lot of restaurants and shopping in the area. It's easily walkable or Unbearable.

Great location and the staff was amazing. The updates int the lobby and common spaces are nice with the MCM designs. Inside the room, there was signs of age in the drywall and tile. Very clean and spacious. Beds were very firm, pillows were great.
