Great location! Walkable and safe neighborhood with plenty of dining options nearby. Easy access on foot to public transportation, shopping, the library, midtown Manhattan, and it's only a moderate distance (less than 2 miles) to walk to the theatre district. That's why we chose this hotel. Our room was very small, but we knew it would be. Everything about the property was as advertised and expected. The location is its primary appeal, but that makes every penny worth it.

They put me in an unacceptable room next to noisy machinery that droned on all night. Refused to refund for the room. I checked out 2 days early despite their refusal to give me a refund for paying in advance.

Such a cute little room!! Very efficient use of space. Full size bunk twin beds with private bath and quiet. Very clean, excellent staff, free morning coffee in the resto/ bar off of lobby, great location within walking distance of so many “must-see”places plus Grand Central for subway. Definitely recommend and would stay there again next time I’m in NYC.
