Close walk to several fun and popular spots. Lots of good access to subways into Manhattan and around. The room was small but the heating and the fridge were working and the shower was hot (after running the tap for a while) I was not expecting a high quality hotel based on the price and reviews. All in all I think if your expectations are low and you're just seeking a base to sleep to go out to explore from then this will do you fine. Felt safe enough as a solo female traveller here and the staff helped me with directions and with storing my bags for a few hours after checkout.

For a good price, you get a room to yourself and your own bathroom. Beats a hostel any day. And everyone working there is friendly and helpful.
