Positive: 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.

Positive: Parking was easy, was close to many things. Pretty quiet at night. Daytime was a little more noisy but nothing crazy.
Negative: Rooms were small, but for the price and location. You pay for what you get. Wasn’t horribly dirty but could definitely use a deeper cleaning.
Summary: The price reflects what you get. Dont expect a 5 star hotel, huge rooms. Good for a quick stay or if you have no intenti
