great location with super nice staff
I stayed 3 nights as a business traveler. It was a small quiet hotel with clean room and free breakfast. the room is not big, but the shower was good, bed was comfortable. Location is great, 3 mins walk to subways, at the center of lower east side, there are plenty of bar and restaurant, as well as tattoo shops. The neighborhood is pretty quiet during week days. 20 mins walk to soho for shopping, 10 mins walk to China town for great food. All the staffs there were very nice and friendly, especially Jay. I would love to go back again if I visit NYC. 
The free breakfast is a delight. You can make your own pancake, and there are fresh fruits. Great value!!
