I arrived way before check-in time but I was given a room immediately - a big help, obviously. Like the location, right at the Port authority.

The room looked like someone else had been staying in it - cleaning had been negligent at best, and simply not done at worst.

Great budget option. I do wish it was a little closer to the subway stop, but that is the only potential issue for me. Staff was excellent. Beds comfortable and everything was clean.

Very well located, I asked for a quiet room and was upgraded. Room was quiet, small but a good size for one person. Staff very friendly. Small problems: usb charger by the bed wasn't working. No outlet near the desk to charge computer (there's one below but didn't fit my charger adaptor). Sheets a bit worn out (starting to tear) The only thing that I'd really complaint is that there's no proper blackout. The blinds have a big gap and the room is bright as soon as the sun rises, if you're a light sleep like myself, even with eye mask it gets too bright by 6-7am in winter.
