We came to NY to see a couple of shows and LOVED the place. It was perfect for us. Everything was fresh and clean. The private shower and bathroom were new, clean, and well above expectation. The room had wonderful art and large windows. We did not spend much time in the common area, but it looked very warm and inviting. We loved the access to the Subway. If you need help figuring out routes and the best fares to buy, go to the entrance on 137th by the park and there is a manned booth. We would stay here 100 times out of 100.
