I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights on a trip to the city. I found it to be very quiet, simple & just what I needed. Yes, the rooms are small, but you get your own private bathroom & it was totally renovated & nice. There was a fridge and tv and room for the suitcase. The nearby area is quite safe, close to transportation & had a lot of great restaurants. The Key West diner is awesome (go for dessert if anything) and I also enjoyed an Italian cafe down the street that had great food. Book online for a discount & go in the off season when rates are reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was small, a wee bit bigger than a cruise ship room. the bathroom (private) was very nice. It did not have a coffee pot so had to walk across street to either McDonalds or Starbucks for morning coffee and breakfast (they do not offer breakfast at all ) They do not offer newspapers for free. You can buyone outdside. I got this room for 2 nights, with tax $378 for the 2nights. I would not pay any more for the room. it would not be worth it.. The window a/c was very loud, you had to turn up the TV very loud to hear over the a/c noise. got it on hotelscheap.org but only stayed there 2 nights so it was not a very big deal.

This was a great little place to stay. As the other reviews said, great location, it was very clean, with a friendly staff, quiet neighborhood and the Key West Diner was delicious! (try their homemade veggie burgers!!) We also found a nice little jazz bar up the street a block. My only issue was booking with Hotels.com! I made a reservation and paid for a room with two doubles. When I checked in the hotel only had a room with one double or two twins which was fine. I tried many times to get a credit from Hotels.com and they hung up on me each time I called!!! My advice is to book directly through the hotel - the rates weren't much different and you know what you are getting! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

If you want a low budget hotel in Ny, this will serve your purpose well. Spent 2nights here and didnt have any problems. Booked a room with shared bathroom but never bumped into any one at all during my stay. Nice situation, 5mins from central park, 1min from subway station and easy access to bus stops. Clean and friendly staff. Not 5star hotel but excellent for the price as you only spend the night in your room anyway.
