Neighborhood is transitional, but definitely has some cool coffee shops and restaurants. There is a third roommate whose room is adjacent to the guest room. Roommate was a bit noisy at late hours while we were trying to sleep and even woke us up a few times. Girls were friendly and easy to get ahold of. The room and bathroom were plenty clean and I am picky in that department. It is good for the value given how expensive hotels can be in New York.
