This is budget accommodation in New York terms ... still very expensive from my point of view. It's basic, a tiny space with bunk beds for two of us, but it's clean and the bathroom is good, and once we got used to the place we enjoyed it. The staff on the desk are very busy and not helpful to guests but that's not a real problem. One really good thing is that there is a bar that serves only drinks in the evening, but there is a rather cool eating area so you can bring your own takeaway food in the evening and enjoy the space. We got Turkish takaways from the place next door to the hotel. We only found the eating area on our second day as we weren't told about it by the staff. As I said, they aren't helpful, but we would happily stay here again.

Better than expected experience. Room size adequate for two adults. They have several elevators so you can go up and down from your room with relative ease. Nice bar/lounge area on the lobby floor. Close, but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the tourist filled areas of Times Square. Maybe consider adding more hooks or mini shelves around the room.

For solo business trip

This hotel is well located, close but not too close to Times Square. The room was small but well organized, quite OK for one person. The bed was comfortable but not sure if that would be the case for two people. The bath room was fine, with a large shower. Everything was clean. Would go there again for a solo business trip.

They must have a sewage problem. It smells like feces in every common area on every floor I have been to. The pungent fragrance starts at the entrance of the hotel and crawls up the building, chasing you all the way into your room. I get the rooms are meant to be small but there is no justification for poor cleaning and maintenance - I changed rooms and both showers had black mould all over the bottom. The windows of the room have shutters which are perfectly useless as it relates to screening sunlight. Bright and sunny in the room at 7 am, whether you like it or not. Location is great, and none of the hotel’s fault but this block seems to be a hot spot for junkies and homeless people. Staff was very nice, they somehow managed to keep a straight face despite the apocalyptic surroundings.

I loved this hotel, modern and a nice high ceiling with the bunk beds. It was roomy enough for two people doing some weekend traveling. We loved the area too, it was close to everything and right on the same street as the port authority too.
