I chose this hotel for its close proximity to the person whom I was visiting in the city but, other than that benefit, there was nothing to recommend it among other NY hotels. First, the elevator cab was filthy with stained carpet and scraped, chipped and tattered wall panels. My room was located at the end of an uncomfortably narrow hallway (a challenge when you're wheeling luggage) with a dropped ceiling. The claustrophobia did not end there. The room was perhaps the tiniest I have ever stayed in and would have been impossibly tight had I not been thankfully traveling solo that weekend. The bathroom was equally minute with a tiny-basined pedestal sink and no surfaces on which to store toilet articles. The bed was soft and needed replacement. The room decor, however, was pleasant overall. The other saving grace was a cold lemon water dispenser in the lobby which was a welcome and refreshing relief on our very hot summer days. Complimentary hot coffee in the lobby was equally appreciated each morning.
