Because I arrived at 11 PM. check-in was done over the phone, which was Very Easy to follow along. I would Only recommend for a short/quick stay. There was only one bathroom w/shower that had to be shared with the other guests. The room we stayed in was clean, bedsheets were clean. The neighborhood was in an ok area. Wouldn't necessarily say it's the safest but also not the worst. If you're traveling to Manhattan via bus/train it will take you an hour to get there.
