It's a fairly simple property that seems like a de-branded property. I took a chance because it was value priced and I feel great about my choice. It was clean and much of the space was redone new tile / bathroom and vinyl floor. Simple amenities. Neighborhood was interesting but not dangerous. Lots of food options around and 24hour bodega. Reservation system slowed down the front desk a little bit but they're trying. I would stay there again for the price. 5 minute walk to the subway.

The room was clean when we arrived, but we had half a roll of toilet paper and when we asked for refill repeatedly we did not receive any. We had to buy our own. No housekeeping the towels started to smell like mildew. No complimentary breakfast as advertised. No light outside the entrance made it hard to find and

I was checked into an occupied room at first, then had no TP in my room upon check in. The hotel was clean, but there is no iron to iron your clothes in the hotel at all. There is no cable only antenna TV (couldn’t watch Monday Night Football) and the area was not very good. Air conditioning was not working in my room the first night but thankfully was cool and I could crack the window.

Worst hotel in NYC

Do NOT stay here, complete disaster. How Hotels.com allows them online is beyond me. The room lacked the following: There was no shower curtain and front desk just shrugged. There was no tv remote or a way to turn on the tv. There was no closet. There were two beds that were extremely uncomfortable and lumpy. The sink worked. Although no closet there were a few hooks screwed into the wall. There were several Jesus stickers on the doors and wall.

No TV Remote To Start...

This was my closet. Notice anything missing?
Dirty light switch that says where the hair drier is...
The only thing under the sink cabinet was a sopping wet rag in a pool of water.

Well I came to check in before 3, just to get my room faster when the room was ready, I got 15usd charge, then came back at 3:30, the guy in the front desk told me I had no payment, I had to pay twice, that last guy was impolite and unnecessary rude.

Don’t do it. Trust me.

Don’t do it. The positive reviews have to be fake. Doesn’t show up on navigation as it should. Charged $30 upon arrival for no reason. Key didn’t work first time. No towels - literally air dried - funny, but dumb. 2 small square pillows. Very comfy bed. Just spend the extra and get a real room, this place is not for real. We went down in the morning to request towels and dude literally just added us to a very long list of names and room numbers. We just air dried and got out of there. Literally no towels of any size.

Room AC barely functioned. No clue why the design of the room would have it where the AC unit is in the windowsill but with the curtains installed in front. Room was incredibly stuffy, we ended up leaving a night early unfortunately.

The hotel does not deserve the 7.2 rating it has on Expedia. From the moment I arrived, I felt unsafe, as if people were checking on me. The room had several broken items and was poorly maintained. I had booked for more than two nights, but I couldn’t bear to stay longer and decided to check out early, even without a refund. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend this hotel.
