Many other reviews of this property are unnecessarily negative and fear-mongering.
The hotel was safe, clean, and comfortable with a great walkable location. The room size and level of noise is to be expected in New York City at this price range. There were some loiterers outside the property after dark but I was never bothered or even spoken to by them.
One benefit which is not clearly noted in the listing is that there is someone at the front desk 24/7- the staff were very helpful when I unexpectedly arrived to check in at 3am after a flight delay.
However, I do have some critiques:
- The property smelt strongly of weed the entire stay. I wonder if this was coming from outside and thus unavoidable, or through the vents. If you are a smoker, this may actually be a benefit.
- The wifi didn’t work very well and I was only on the second floor. I was thankful to have mobile data.
- The sensor light/fan in the bathroom was very annoying. I would have preferred that it was just a standard light switch.
Overall it was a good stay, thanks to all the staff for your kindness and support
