The outside of the building was nice and our room was large but the sink and stove did not work and it was infested with ants and we saw roaches in our room! We also paid for a nonsmoking room and there were people sitting right outside our room smoking.

They say you get what you pay for, and this is a prime example. They have one of the lowest prices for rooms in the area. And, while the outside of the building isn't much to look at, the rooms were actually quite spacious. The main issue we had: paper thin walls. We could hear EVERYTHING in the room next to us, and they were just having a normal conversation. Our room was clean, but very outdated. A great place to save some $$$, but good luck on getting a good night's sleep.

Very clean hotel. Is an every day clean a requirement in hotels in New York? Because they popped in every day! The only downside of this place is the hot water. It came but i had to run the tap for a few minutes to get it.

I liked the property as a hotel that I wasn’t going to be at much.The room was fine and the layout was nice. However, the shower barely dripped water in Room 214. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to repack and change rooms and keys. But the place was clean and the layout of the room was nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I stayed in the jacuzzi suite for almost $200 a night, which would have been fine except the room was dirty and poorly maintained. The staff was so rude and was offended when we asked for clean towels bc the ones in the room were dirty. The shower didn't drain so when taking a shower you stand in few inches of dirty water. Not worth it.
