The room was spacious and comfortable, two chairs to sit in, trees outside the window, and everything was very clean. Keep in mind that this is a hostel with multiple rooms and you are sharing a bathroom with the floor. The decorations were really kitsch but it kinda fit the charm of the place. We arrived pretty late at the Utica subway station and didn't know if the neighborhood was safe. Everyone at the hostel seemed friendly. About a 50 min ride to manhattan. Easy to find but not super central.
