The hotel was a decent enough place to lay your head at night. Rooms were very small, as expected in NY. Advertised balcony... yes we had a balcony that entered into a dimly lit courtyard surrounded on all sides with massive buildings (no sunlight). In the room, the furniture was beat up around all edges, perhaps due to the small space and suitcases hitting it. Mildew buildup in some bathroom tile. Zero New York charm other than the lack of square footage. Felt like a Marriott courtyard that didn’t quite make the cut. I kind of wish we actually went to the courtyard, because the price was pretty much the same and we’d have had our room serviced.
Pros: location was less than a block from the 6 subway line. The front desk guys were friendly. Bathrooms were modern. If you don’t plan to spend time in the room other than sleep, this place isn’t such a bad choice.
