This is a hotel with a hostel vibe: there is a stack of toilet paper in the lobby in case you need it, and everything is well worn. The view and light from the massive windows in the accessible bedroom are wonderful, and the 7th floor is high enough above the fray of Canal street to keep the noise reasonable. I found the bed comfortable but the towels are large rags. Considering my options at the price point, I was very happy with the whole experience. Also there are so many subway lines nearby, and a quick walk to the fun of Chinatown, Tribeca, Soho and Nolita.
