I want my money back!

Oh boy, I’m not sure where to start! Firstly, I was on the second floor and there is no elevator so I had to carry my luggage up and down 20 steps. When I got to my room, I quickly realized that I didn’t have a bathroom as it turns out the bathroom was shared with another room. To make matters worse, there were two drawers in the room in the bottom one didn’t open. Last but not least, there was no window in the room, which is illegal in New York City.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The building is old and rooms are small, but clean enough for just a few days of visit (no room service).

I stayed here trying to same money and I regret it

I bet homeless people sleep better outside than you will on one of these beds. There’s no elevator either, and the front staff m is very rude and dismissive.

Good location but.

No customer service. Shower water pressure was weak in unit 403. No elevators. No new fresh towels or trash removal. Stayed for 3 nights. Good location though.

Our room was small—even by NYC standards. The ventilation system ran constantly and was extremely loud. The AC leaked water on the floor, and the bathroom didn’t have any hand soap—nor did the desk in the lobby. Really poor imho.
