Hated it
Yes, this hotel is cheap, but that's for a reason. The rooms (and hallways) are unbelievably small! Our room was 10 by 7 feet. The door between the room and bathroom is GLASS. Yes, GLASS. You can see EVERYTHING through it and you can hear everything, too. This was prison cell. On top of that, the staff was impossible. What kind of a housekeeper takes all the towels and leaves no clean ones? And doesn't replace the shampoo? By the way, there is no bell hop, no door man, no ice machine, and no cups, iron, coffee pot, or any of those things in the room. You get a roll of toilet paper, 2 towels, no wash clothes, a bar of soap, and three mini containers (shampoo, conditioner, lotion.) I had a full blown panic attack when I walked in the first time. It is impossible to relax in this environment. The rooftop lounge is crowded and uncomfortable. Best thing about this place is the location! Great location, especially for first time visits here. You get the true NYC experience. You can see a video my husband took at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pmhiS50JW8&feature=youtu.be,
