“Not the Ritz, but good for the price!”
Good location, very close to subway station. Many restaurants/shops/drug stores within walking distance. Room was clean, no roaches, bugs or anything like that. Yes, the room was small, but that shouldn't matter if you're actually out seeing New York. Perfect room to take a shower in and sleep in. Elevator was small and really slow, which was annoying, but I'd rather pay the low price than have a spacious, super speed elevator in a more expensive hotel. Walking distance to Central Park, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, and many other attractions. Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island is one quick subway ride away. Staff was okay. Check in lady carried on a phone conversation while she checked me in, and they wouldn't call me a cab when leaving (told me to go outside and hail one), but again, for the price, you can't complain. Private bathroom and NOT hostel style like many other "hotels" in this price range. Maids cleaned everyday and everything was in place when we got back to our room each night. Didn't bring laptops (used cell phones for internet) so can't comment on the internet connection/lack thereof. Lobby has some comfortable chairs, too. We stayed in the non-smoking King and loved it. Extremely comfortable bed, lots of pillows. Coffee/hair dryers in room. Good bagel place and sushi across the street, good ice cream around the corner. The hotel is old, but it's great for the price. No real complaints. Surrounding neighborhood okay, a few rough people around.
