Lions and tigers and bears...Oh My!
All that can positively be said is this: it's cheap! Which, for NYC, is tough to find when it comes to accommodations. It's run down, smells a bit, has small rooms, hard as rock beds, crunchy towels, in window aircon (oh the spores!), no bar, etc. - recall your youth and the hostels you might have frequented. There ya go!
Ps staff were as helpful as could be in this type of environment...Starbucks next door a real life saver!!!
