Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was adorable. It was very clean and cute. Perfect for my solo adventure. I had a mini fridge and microwave which I wasn’t expecting. I booked a room with a bathroom/shower, it was also very clean and had toiletries. My only complaint is that my room got pretty warm during my stay. There was a fan that helped some but the AC unit didn’t work or maybe that was a me thing. Either way, it didn’t bother me enough to complain while I was there. Again, very cute hotel with tons of stores and restaurants in the area. I walked back and forth from Amtrak with no issues. I would absolutely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Unsure of cleanliness after finding a random, big dangling earring in the bed. Loud banging in the pipes kept me awake all night. No phone charging ports were available. A vending machine or access to any cold drink would have been greatly appreciated. Especially, after having to climb five flights of stairs . If i had known there was no elevator and I had to make it up all those flights of stairs, every time I returned, I never would’ve booked here. This, I believe, should be boldly stated, so guests that may be physically unable to keep making the climb, are aware what they are in for. . I actually got so nauseous, from breathing so hard, that I threw up after I climbed them the 4th time.

Clean and good location. Had to walk up five flights of stairs so beware. Shared bathroom was not an issue. I am not sure anyone else was sharing with us. Great location. No frills but perfect for our quick stay in NYC.
