The photo is accurate and the room is how it appeared in the photos. It was pretty small but that's to be expected in New York. It was clean and we felt very comfortable in the room and beds. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. They offer free coffee and snacks in the lobby which was nice. The location was fine but it is a close to an area of canal street that's a little chaotic. It was a good value for the money and we had a great stay. You need to use your room key to enter the building, upon check in, the front desk person happened to be away from the desk for a moment so we couldn't figure out why we couldn't enter the hotel - but then the desk person came back and let us in and explained the entry process. It would have been nice to know before we arrived that that would happen. But it was no big deal and the staff took great care of us.
