This was fine for my partner and I to stay in for a night on our visit to NYC. It is close to the PATH train to the city, so very convenient for those wishing to visit NYC. It is a room in an old house with a shared bathroom so do adjust your expectations, but that didn’t bother us. Mattress is definitely very firm. Room was relatively clean. In the morning some folks on the first floor complained about noise (footsteps from above and in the hallways) but we were only in the room to sleep and left early so it wasn’t a problem for us. I’d bring earplugs just in case. Overall, if you simply need a room to sleep and this is the cheapest option in your price range, it will be fine.
