I think this is a hidden gem. It has a really nice vibe to it. Rooms are clean. Staff is great ... very friendly and they let me keep my bags with them after my stay was up so that I could go to a play with my daughter. The location is also great ... a short walk to the subway (but only a 20-minute walk to the Times Square/Broadway area). About the only downside is that if you are a super light sleeper like me, you might get awakened by others heading to the common bathrooms and showers (which were clean and nice).
