This property’s only elevator worked once during the five-night stay: the day/night after I checked in. There was a sign on the elevator which turned out to be an ominous sign of the experience ahead: Please don’t hold elevator door open. Elevator will cease to function. My guess is someone either didn’t see the sign or ignored it like they do every other sign meant for them. Boy, did it ever cease to function! Of course, this happened on Friday night/Saturday morning, as in nobody coming to service the elevator until Monday. Up/down five flights of stairs. I guess I was lucky that I wasn’t on the sixth floor! Elevator hadn’t worked since. My luck, it’s probably working now that I’m gone.
Also, my room had one spot by the desk where something had been spilled but not cleaned properly. The sticky residue was still there. There was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, from previous guests. Luckily I had some portable air scent spray. Regarding the bathroom, the door opening/closing was hampered by the toilet. Either the door or the toilet was too big for the space.
On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and clean. Back to the negative side, my window faced a VERY active (as in NOISY) Queens Boulevard…sometimes at 3 in the morning. NYC, amirite?
In my opinion, the only way this place makes money, other than cheapskate bargain hunters like me, is from maybe US Open goers. My advice: avoid this place. The saying goes: you get what you pay for!
