My room was very close to the elevator which has been a noisy adventure at other hotels, but my room was absolutely quiet, which was great for sleeping.

This isn't for you if you have claustrophobia, but I LOVED it! Very efficient use of space, fantastic location, and checkin was super: They upgraded us from bunk beds to a queen (without asking) b/c one was available. I will go back! Very reasonably priced (considering this is NYC).

Mattress was not good, felt like I was going to fall off the bed, the coils were so weak. Also, the size of the bed looked like a full instead of queen.

The room was spotless, well-furnished, and offered a perfect balance of comfort and style. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were thoughtful and convenient. I also appreciated the quiet, peaceful atmosphere which was ideal for rest and relaxation.

Hotel has a nice young vibe and everyone was super helpful. The day we checked in there was a problem with obtaining the key to rooms So we had to be escorted to our room each time which wasn’t a big deal and the guy that escorted us was very nice and funny. The rooms were small which I knew from the pictures and Reviews but clean and good use of the space

Clean, quiet and cozy

Room was very clean and very affordable. This was my first time staying in NY and I was worried about quality to price ratios for hotels, but the location is great for out-of-towners (9 minute walk to Times Square) while also being clean, friendly and quiet. Only downside is the tiny room size, but for travelers just wanting to explore the city and have a safe place to keep our stuff it was a perfect stay.

Good for the price

Overall the stay was good. Location is good although it can be sketchy at night. The hotel itself was very quiet and efficient for the price. It does have an onsite gym but it’s not very well cooled. There is no onsite restaurant so you have to go out to get food. They do serve breakfast until 1:30pm but it’s expensive and not much to choose from.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I stayed at here prior in February. However, my experience this time around was subpar. The hotel floor “10” smelled bad, and the hotel room had a moldy smell & just felt unclean. The inside of the toliet was not cleaned, so I did it myself.
