This was my first overnight stay in NYC, so I can't really compare it to other options. But on its own, I will happily book here again for my next trip. The room was small but adequate as a place to crash for the night. Very clean. Attractive private bathroom. Comfy beds. And a wonderful location. The noise issue some have mentioned, I couldn't even hear the noise from the nearby restaurants and clubs. The only noise issue was around 4am, the street noise got VERY loud... lots of yelling and horns blowing. But I'm a suburbs kid, so for all I know, that could be par for the course. Overall, I was very impressed, and would happily recommend this place to anyone... as long as it doesn't interfere with my plans to come back!
