What can you say other than you get what you pay for. Not so clean, not too dirty. Mattress wasn't very firm, but it wasn't soft either, or maybe those were the bed springs poking through. Not quiet, but not so noisy. But where else are you going to stay, near the subway, right where I needed to be, for only $50 a night? I guess the money I saved gave it enough value that I would 100% stay there again. 3/5 stars on amenities/quality, 5/5 stars for value.
