place was good enough for what we needed, but once you add up the total cost, it wouldnt have been much more if at all to stay at a hotel and avoid some of the issues we encountered. two days of staff passing the buck to get the table repaired, so we ate over the sink. a couple messages on things such as towels went unanswered. bugs are to be expected in an older NYC building, but something to be aware of. staff did address that, though. laundry facilities are up to date with great results with washing, but very much a racket. need to get a card from staff, then load it at the machine in cash $10 denominations only, no $1 or $5. a wash or dry load costs 3 bucks, so there is no way you're not leaving money on that card. we needed one wash and one dry, so I loaded 10 bucks on the card, meaning I gave 4 to the house. also, since I planned ahead and brought singles and fives, I had to hit the conveniently located ATM on the wall with a $4 fee. good enough. but will look elsewhere next time.
