Great location for sightseeing, only a 5-minute walk from the subway station. The room was clean and comfortable, the price was reasonable, and the breakfast was good. The surrounding neighborhood was not the nicest, especially at night, but overall I had a pleasant stay.

Perfect place to stay when you visit NYC. Only one stop away from Midtown using the Subway. Small room, but very clean and cozy. Having hot breakfast every morning is a plus. The staff was very helpful every time we had interactions with them. Beds were kind of hard, but I guess that's what we needed after too much walking in the city. I definitely would stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel for five nights and had a wonderful experience. Our room was very clean. We requested daily housekeeping. Even though we were out everyday day, it was a pleasure to return to a fresh, spotless room each evening. It definitely made our stay much more enjoyable. The staff may not seem overly friendly at first, but whenever we needed assistance, they were always kind, helpful, and accommodating. The breakfast was also very good. There was a nice variety of options—nothing fancy, but everything we needed. The breakfast area was well organized, and even during the busy morning rush, the staff kept everything well stocked and running smoothly. We were able to check in early, and because we had a late flight after checkout, the hotel allowed us to store our luggage, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe area and is only about a three minute walk from the subway station, making it very convenient for getting around. The only improvement I would suggest is expanding the lobby area or providing a larger common space where guests can sit, relax, or spend time outside of their rooms. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again.

The room was clean and staff was very kind, but that was probably the hardest bed I’ve slept on in my life. Like to the point that we moved the fitted sheet back because we thought maybe it was just a box spring with some padding. It was nice being close to three different subway stations, and we appreciated the shuttle from the airport.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our stay was very good. Easy to park a car and walk to subway. Nice coffee shop nearby. Our request for a higher room was accommodated. We did not try the breakfast because we joined our son. Our only hotel issue was that the room fan did not go on even when we turned the fan symbol to high, and the room was a little too warm. We also had loud guests on our floor after midnight one of 3 nights. But overall, it was a clean, quiet, comfortable stay for a reasonable price. There are some good restaurants and ice cream shops within 15 minutes walk as well.

Caroline

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was fine. In an odd location, but close to public transportation. The main issues were that the bed was extremely uncomfortable, almost like sleeping on a box spring instead of a mattress. Another issue is there were no washcloths, only towels. Lastly, the water in the shower almost caused burns on my feet due to the temperature and not being able to turn the temperature down without getting inside the shower. We were placed across from the elevator and it was extremely loud in the hallway. Also be aware you are next to a large parking lot with cabs so we could hear car alarms going off regularly. Did not have the breakfast and had minimal contact with the front desk. We chose this hotel based on the reviews and were disappointed with the reality.
