To be bluntly honest, this place represents the quintessence of New York accommodation...it is expensive for what it offers, then contrary to what you can see in the pictures shown on the internet, the rooms are very small... I mean VERY small ( there are 2 beds separated by maybe 2 feet) and last but not least, the included breakfast it is very poor in options. If you get there with your own car, prepare to pay anything but cheap for the parking in the near by. The check in at the time I write this review is at 15.00 o'clock and if you get there sooner, you have to pay extra for early access to your room (optional...if not, you can wait). But then again, who goes to NYC as a tourist to stay in a hotel or eat there?! On the good side, it is clear, surprisingly quiet considering the close proximity of the train that crosses Manhattan bridge, it's in China Town in easily walkable distance to the Financial district, to One World Trade Center and the 9/11 museum, Brooklyn bridge ... bottom line there are many many things to see and visit in a relatively close vicinity. As expected, plenty of subway stations close to the hotel, so you can move around easily.
