This was a hostel-type accommodation; I must not have read the listing info thoroughly because I assumed it would be part of an apartment. The location was very convenient, close to where my family was staying in Union Square (for half the price!) I appreciated having the TV in the room and that check-in and check-out were quick and easy. We also enjoyed the friendly service, with a more personal feel than the standard hotel. Just a block away, the Scullery serves up great coffee (though their food service was a bit slow).
With so much to see and do in the city, we weren't looking for a cushy room to lounge in all day, so the basic amenities fit our needs perfectly. The furnishings and decor are dated, but no functional issues - worked for our practical sensibilities. The only minor issue we had was that there is basically no sound barrier between the room and the hallway/front desk area, so you may want to bring your earplugs if you're planning to sleep in. Overall we had a good stay, and would come back if we're planning to be in the area.
