I don’t know why some people give such negative review on this hotel. It is what it is, a cheap hotel. Yes the hall stank of cigarettes but out room didn’t. Go 2 minutes out of the hotel and buy some incense if it botherss you. Yes it wasn’t the most slick room but it had comfortable bed, clean sheets and enough space, the shower was hot, the fridge was colder than our novatel. But the best thing was it suited my our needs in fact we extended our stay and the location couldn’t get better. For food, shopping and transport. Some people might whine about the road noise or the room temperature as it didn’t have A/C but for the price suck it up and out go pay double elsewhere.

I liked the help I received from the front. I wanted to do laundry and it's included with your stay so all of them were full when I wanted to do my laundry but I know that this was my fault. I liked how it was near a lot of things and close enough to transportation, having a subway line right under the hotel and a Starbucks too.

This place has one thing going for it. LOCATION. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever been in, definitely won’t fit anyone super tall, my knees were almost touching the wall when using the toilet and I can touch the ceiling in the shower… I’m only 5’2. There is absolutely no air conditioning in the rooms, it exists only in the elevator and somewhat in the halls. Be ready to feel super stuffy and hot in the room after a shower. Front desk will only tell you to open the window if it’s hot which leads to excessive noise from the streets. But don’t think that closing the windows will solve your noise issue.. you can hear your neighbors inside their rooms. Coughing, talking, sneezing, etc. I suggest you find some place else if noise/air conditioning are your main requirements.

Not recommend at all

The bathroom was awful! Somehow the water leaked from bus tab and the water spread out to the floor…. It was late to check in and I didn’t have any power to negotiate with front staff, so ended up giving up taking shower on that day. Also, the wall itself is so thin and I couldn’t sleep well because of loud next door…
