OK stay, some problems
Considering it's a value hotel, the Washington Jefferson can be a reasonable alternative in New York. The property in general is in good shape, although looks a bit dated.
My room and bathroom were quite small, although bright. The bed was average, nothing to complain about. However, I had a couple of electrical issues in my room: none of the two lamps worked. The issue was fixed quickly after I reported it, but I guess they could check this kind of things in advance. Complimentary, in room wi fi was also convenient.
The location is quite good as well. The street is not particularly nice but it's 10 min from Times Square and Central Park.
