Great overall experience except for 2 things
For me, safety, cleanliness and price are the 3 most important things when it comes to finding a good hotel, and this one gets all those 3 things right! I just stayed there for 4 nights, and had a good time. It is a great location right in the middle of it all; I always felt safe; and the AC unit drowns out any possible street noise, so I slept very soundly. The room was tiny, but honestly when visiting NYC, you are usually just in your room to sleep so that was fine with me. Same goes with the bathroom--small but offered everything I needed. My 2 complaints are about the electronic amenities: 1, Yes, there is flat screen tv, however, we only got about 5 channels and all of them were blurry and mostly unwatchable. 2, there is no WiFi, even though the website and the hotel will tell you there is. Trust me, there isn't. I brought my laptop and everything, and I was even willing to purchase WiFi had it not been free. But it isn't offered at all because the free WiFi is always "down" according to the front desk. It's not down, it just never works. False advertising. Fortunately, the other perks of the hotel made up for that fact, and I just went to Starbucks when I wanted to access the Internet. I probably won't stay there again because of that, but that's just because I like to have Internet access.
