AC worked once i reset the power cord surge protector. Front staff ladybwas nice but overwhelmed at 3 pm check in. Each reservation takes 10-15 minutes minimum. Mine took 30 because she had to text and call the hotel owner over a seperate "emergency ". Allow for a wide window to check in and early checkin is not allowed.
Location was good with quick food delivery. Hotel has NO BREAKFAST. 5 minute walk to subway.

The staff is excellent. They greet you with a smile. The manager is very attentive and does his best to help you with any concerns. Parking is $30 unless you wish chance parking outside within the area. Rooms were very clean and in order. Unfortunately people smoke in their rooms but their is no control over this.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately our room did not have heat and a space heater was brought in the room for our stay. Water was also barely lukewarm. However, it was a quiet and spacious stay and easy to commute to all of New York

I have just checked into the hotel, and the first thing I can say is—don’t always believe everything you read in reviews. Based on what I saw online, I had little to no expectations, but from the moment I checked in to actually lying down in my room, this place has drastically surpassed my expectations.
The front desk staff was extremely friendly, which was the complete opposite of what many reviews mentioned. Check-in took less than five minutes—again, the opposite of what I read. Upon entering my room, everything was clean, the bed is extremely large and very comfortable, and the view from the 9th floor is absolutely breathtaking.
I’ll provide another update at the end of my stay, but as of now, I can proudly say that I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to my friends.

Just Ok
Good location, was clean, but a little beat up and small. The owners were nice and good to work with. Biggest complaint was that the room had zero towels - they said they were out and would bring some in the morning, but never saw any.

This was a fine place to stay. In the listing they advertised the room as a King bed but it’s definitely a Double. It said there would be a coffeemaker which wasn’t true. Those things didn’t wreck or stay, but just tell the truth about what you offer. We had to ask for a second pillow and towel set, only 1 provided in a booking for 2 adults. We got a good night’s sleep and the location offers easy subway access.

Not a bad hotel just decent for a place to sleep. The toilet seat was falling off at the hinges and the curtains are sheer and don’t provide enough privacy.
The light in the bathroom also turns the bathroom fan on which is super noisey. Over all if I needed a cheap place to stay this works but not my first pick.
It was clean enough and bed is comfortable enough which I’m glad. The hotel is a little ran down but over all not the worst.

Came all the way from the Caribbean and your Hotel do not have a "IRON "THAT SO VERY POOR. The lobby area are poor 😫 not even a watercooler. Your service out of ( 1-10) =5 is for the room Excellent. Try and put intercom in all room so the guests can call the front desk for assistance.

It's a fairly simple property that seems like a de-branded property. I took a chance because it was value priced and I feel great about my choice. It was clean and much of the space was redone new tile / bathroom and vinyl floor. Simple amenities. Neighborhood was interesting but not dangerous. Lots of food options around and 24hour bodega. Reservation system slowed down the front desk a little bit but they're trying. I would stay there again for the price. 5 minute walk to the subway.

Stayed for 7 days yet room was not cleaned once. Room had no glasses. Property very beat up with strange smell in my room I swear was urine. Location is very convenient to get to manhattan. Owners should put a little effort to make the property pleasant.

The room was more affordable than most nearby options, and the location is excellent—just a 3-minute walk from the subway, which was very convenient. However, the experience had several downsides. Most of the staff were not very friendly or helpful, and there is no secure space to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out. The place offers no real facilities—just a noisy microwave. On top of that, their charges were unclear: beyond the service fee, I was billed an extra amount with no explanation provided.
