great place. has everything you need. including the coffee pot. in a very convenient location. beds are comfy and the comforters are warm. there are subways and buses to take nearby. heade the warning about the noise though, it is not a quiet residential neighborhood. noise was happening for all day and most of the night. I just put in my headphones and listened to audiobook to go to sleep. the room also never gets completely dark, so if you need complete darkness you might struggle. front desk is helpful. you meet lots of other people new to new york and to the states. overall, it gets the job done. I would reccomend it.
