When booking this place it is important to remember that you are paying probably the cheapest price in New York city. The place it's self is clean, and the bathroom had everything I needed for my stay. The building was nice and the doorman very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was probably what you would expect for $20 a night.. small, unsafe and uncomfortable. I'm sure if it was below 80° I would have had a chance of sleeping but unfortunately it was a hot few days and the desk fan didn't suffice. The bad was uncomfortable and also blocked the door meaning you have to climb over the bed to get into the room (the photos used really flatter the room, with one taken from outside the room and the others with the bed moved). The one outlet in the room was very loose which made it hard to plug things in. All of the above mentioned things however are what I would expect for the price, therefore I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a budget trip to NYC! If you are looking for luxury (or safety) then maybe this isn't the place for you!
