There were cockroaches. The room was way smaller than advertised. The heater/ac was broken. The hot water was intermittent and one of the elevators was broken the entire time so I’d have to wait at least 10-15 minutes just to go down from my room. Overall wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all

Rather run down hotel. Heater never worked properly. Set it to 70 degrees and it was blowing just cold air. Hours later it kicked on. Hot water was inconsistent. Sometimes it was hot, sometimes it was cold. Rooms were dusty and marks all over the walls. Bathroom door was rotting. Bathroom was so small, it was a struggle to walk in and out of it every time. Really displeased with the accommodation. On a positive note, the hotel is on a good area

Only one out of the four elevators worked. Elevators were small so you had to wait for another one to come. Apparently, it's common for the room keys not to work. The rooms are in dire need of a renovation. The desk chairs need a deep cleaning. No amenities, other than free coffee. Luckily, the hotel is close enough to bodegas to buy water.

Staff were nice. Room had paint falling off walls and no amenities. Was a room for two but no mini fridge, only one small trash can in the bathroom, no water provided, shower had only half all glass door by design so water spilled out on the floor, all see through so no privacy, dirty blinds, elevator stopped at every floor (15) going up and down even with no passengers, so sometimes 10 minutes on the elevator, tiny closet, only one dresser and no food of any kind offered, coffee machine but inadequate number of cups and no spoons or creamer. Overall a very uncomfortable experience.

The queen bed was fine. But the bunk beds had very low clearance on both the top and bottom, so we kept hitting our heads when sitting up. The top bunk also creaked every time someone moved. The front desk staff were very kind.

Is lowkey a scam from the picture online. Not worth it for the price. They never gave us wifi, paint is ripping from the ceiling, walls are very thin and can hear next door neighbor. Elevators take FOREVER to come down and cant even fit up to 6 people. Overall 1/5 do not recommend.

I’ll start with the things I liked about this location: the staff was great, friendly, attentive. Location is excellent, trains available nearby and Time Square next to the hotel, many food options. These are the cons: several things did not work at the hotel. 2/3 elevators in service, WiFi was down during our 4 day stay, phones did not work, AC was not operable (blank screen), fire alarm beeped all night, lamps didn’t turn on, no body wash. That said, for someone who wasn’t at the hotel very much it was manageable and as the saying goes “you get what you pay for” If you just need a place to sleep and shower, this is a good place. If you want more perks, you will not like it.
