It is really a hostel, which I was not completely sure of, but the service was good. The location seemed nice to me although I am not well traveled in NYC. I could walk or take the subway nearby most places I wanted to go. The interior was also nice, but be aware of the open nature of the rooms. There is no ceiling and therefore relatively noisy. Earplugs are supplied, but probably required. The room is as small as it can be and still fit the bed. The bed felt adequate for me(173cm), but is probably difficult for significantly taller people. The wifi was unproblematic. The bathroom/shower is communal, but good quality(especially the shower). I could keep my suitcase there after checking out for $10.

I was satisfied with my stay.
