Quaint
3 of us stayed for 3 nights at this quaint hotel. It was what we expected, in that it was very old, small, shared bathrooms, quiet neighborhood. This was my first time visit to NYC (and it was wonderful!). This hotel was fairly close to the hoopla. The shared bathroom worked out fine, and we never had to wait. The room (a triple) was very very small, but clean. There was no view at all (one small window that looked right into a brick wall). The shower had great pressure & the water was always hot. We arrived early & they stored our luggage while we toured around, then allowed us to check in 2 hours early, which was very nice. There is an ice machine, but no refreshment center, and no fridge or microwave. The cost was fairly reasonable as well. It is a very nice hotel if you want to stay away from the noise & don't mind walking (which you shouldn't if you're visiting NYC!) a little extra. However, Union Square is just a few blocks up, there are some nice buildings to see, and a wonderful 24 hour cafe just one block. The beds were quite hard, but we were so exhausted it didn't matter.
