Bathrooms were disgusting. Has a single room and bed was pretty much just springs. There was an extra $10 fee per day that wasn’t on the fine print, but I had not choice but to sign it

Rooms adequate for price. Very conveniently located. Had to pay $10 membership fee. Bathrooms pretty scuzzy. Toilets overflowing. Some sinks both only one faucet worked. For one person out all day. Certainly a reasonable choice.

Staff is nice and coming back late at night I felt welcomed and safe!! I felt safe in my room as well. Giving 4 stars just since the place maybe wasn’t the most sanitary which is a given. Such as stains on sheets, bathrooms not being cleaned, and the major leak that was covered half the bathroom floor lol. I’d say again though!

This is a tiny room “hotel” with shared bathrooms and showers. Only book if you’re on a budget. This is not a typical hotel with amenities. Just a small room to lay your head for the night and bathrooms that smell like Penn Station. This is an honest and irrefutable review.

This was an acceptable budget-friendly option for one night's stay. Ear-plugs/ear-buds are very helpful to block out the old AC noise. I don't understand previous comments that the bathrooms are not secure. Yes, guests use a swipe card to enter the bathroom/shower but once you are in that single room, the door can be locked. No-one else can enter. It was a terrific location. You get what you pay for. This is a budget option, but it was fine for me.

i was a member of the gym for a long time and they did a good job keeping it up. The hotel/hostel side, however, is a different thing. Things ripped off walls in shower stall, a large panel next to my bed off of the wall and just propped up against said wall. It I had my drill and a couple screws I'd reattach if for them. But I don't travel with my drill. I want to love this place, but the deferred maintenance is terrible.
