Fine -- A Place to Sleep
Hotel is fairly new (appx. 1 1/2 years old) and is still in good shape. The room was tiny but clean; the bathroom was of normal size and also clean. Rooms on the back side of the building are quiet and have nice city views. The breakfast was poor even for the typical "breakfast included": bagels were awful, there were no English muffins or whole-wheat bread, and the eggs were way overcooked. The neighborhood is grimy and slimy (with not a tree in sight) but there are lots of food and drink options very close by (too close, actually). Tourists should understand that this location is not near the main NYC attractions and is inconvenient in terms of the main subway lines. But, if you want to stay in this area, this place would work fine.
