First, some good things. The location was excellent. Great vibe near CCNY on Amsterdam - great restaurants and clubs. Bus Stop Diner, Home Sweet Harlem, Clove - Indian, Fumo - Italian, Cafe One for coffee and breakfast. Public transit nearby can get you anywhere from Yankee Stadium to Times Square to World Trade Center. People in this diverse neighborhood sitting out on front door steps were friendly and approachable.
The beds were comfortable and the plumbing fixtures were fine, but the place just kind of felt dirty. There was too much evidence of the people who had come before. Multiple leftover shampoo bottles, a half-box of cereal, etc. I don't mind some coffee or spices left over for us to use, but it felt like nothing had been cleared away.
We didn't get any instructions about leaving linens in a central location, and we didn't get instructions about where to take our garbage. I suppose that means checkout was easy, but it is not what we were accustomed to doing.
