You get what you pay for. For $52 a night, I can't expect more. The room was fine, but the mattress was basically a rock. It's always hot in there which is nice because it's getting kind of cold in NY. The walls are thin, so you'll be able to hear whatever is going on. You can't bring in any friends, otherwise there'll be a $10 charge (doesn't matter for long of a stay it is). Overall I'd say it's a decent place to stay at.
