put in my credit card info and had to take a picture of it as well as my ID and a day later i get a $132 and $432 charge for concert resale tickets, what a coincidence. save yourself the time and don’t stay here. i knew something was fishy when they wanted a photo of my card info. card number, expiration date and cvv. protect yourself and be smart. or you’re gonna regret it. not to mention the blood stained sheet me and my bf slept on and didn’t notice till the next morning and load moaning sounds coming from a floor or so down. the people at the front desk were none existent most of the time and when requested a refund they denied.

Staff was great. Room was clean. Price was reasonable for NYC. The mattress in my first room was great....nice and firm, but the second room I was in....the mattress was way too soft and sunk in the middle.

Nice staff, clean bedding, great location. Water pressure in the bathroom was not great, but I appreciated that our room had a microwave as well as a generously-sized mini fridge. I would definitely consider booking here again.

Staff was very kind and accommodating, room was clean and heating was so nice in the winter. Only downside is the walk up style building, so pack light just in case!

The woman at the front desk was great. 2 funny observations: Had to put the coffee maker on the floor for the plug to reach an outlet. I really dislike flavored creamer for my coffee and that's all that was available. Also great location, I love that part of NYC TY, Eric N.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The location was great. The was one big problem. The draft coming off of the window was so cold that I had to move the bed away from it. This basically cut a very small room down to no floor space. I will probably avoid this location in the winter.
