Decent for the price but could be better

Reasonably priced, safe and walkable location. Room was pretty small but unsurprising in New York. We didn’t find the bed and pillows too comfortable. Room was fairly clean, but we couldn’t be sure if the towels were very clean or not. Would probably try another place next time

Enjoyed my overall stay. I was able to check in earlier than scheduled, that was greatly appreciated. My room was clean and cozy just enough space for me. Staff was friendly. The front desk schedule may pick up back to the airport which made traveling back home one less thing to worry about. I would definitely come back when I’m in NY.
