The hotel is a hybrid between a hotel, a hostal and an AirBnb - the place is perfect for those looking for a good and inexpensive place to sleep - but they won't clean your room unless you pay them $35 each time - also, there is no receptionist onsite - you have to call their hotline. The area is great with subway, buses, restaurants, coffee shops and everything new york has to offer less than a block away. Overall I do recommend this place.
