Apparently they don’t maintain staff on site after 5 pm. But checkout is 3? But they send a really shady checking email that uses an off site form to take your drivers license and credit card info. I refused to do that but booked same day so wasn’t able to get a refund.

The room was small but very clean and comfortable and the tv was wasy to work. The staff was friendly. On the other hand the water presure was very low, they didnt offer clean towels or coffee refils ,but I could have asked. I didnt have time to deal with that. A terrycloth robe would have helped as specially since tgere was a shared bathroom if you didnt rent bith rooms in the suit. The biggest problem was that it was on the 5th floor and we were told it was on the 3rd floor so my partner had to stay somewhere else. That caused us a miriad of difficulties. We got in late and by morning there were no ither rooms available for us to move to although we had discussed a switch.
Cool spot near by with a very comfortable back room

Clean room, genial staff who were helpful and professional. Cheap by NY standards, good location. 4th fl. walk up was doable but talk to me in 10 years. Some other guest had a bit too much fun and was making a bit of noise, but otherwise room was quiet. Spotty WiFi continues to be an issue in every hotel I've stayed in, including this one. I'd stay here again.

Bed broken and uncomfortable. Room very hot unable to control heat. AC not working and AC unit was dirty. Don’t get a room above 3rd floor if you’re a senior - no elevator, stairs narrow and steep. Room and bathroom are tiny.

Very noisy at night. Extremely poor wifi connection. The hot water pipes make very loud sound in the middle of the night. Staff is friendly, but that doesn't help to rectify the issue. Upperantly owners are aware of the super loud noisy pipes, but have not dealt with it. The noise from the nearby bar is going until around 2am and you can here it in the room. I will not stay there again.
