Bathrooms were disgusting. Has a single room and bed was pretty much just springs. There was an extra $10 fee per day that wasn’t on the fine print, but I had not choice but to sign it
Very friendly. Clean. Secure. Best location in NY.

Rooms adequate for price. Very conveniently located. Had to pay $10 membership fee.
Bathrooms pretty scuzzy. Toilets overflowing. Some sinks both only one faucet worked. For one person out all day. Certainly a reasonable choice.
Pillow was dirty room felt dirty as well. The bathrooms are dark and dirty. Had booked for two nights and had to leave after one night of no sleep. Not comfortable or clean. Lost my money.

Staff is nice and coming back late at night I felt welcomed and safe!! I felt safe in my room as well. Giving 4 stars just since the place maybe wasn’t the most sanitary which is a given. Such as stains on sheets, bathrooms not being cleaned, and the major leak that was covered half the bathroom floor lol. I’d say again though!

The room was fine for a one night stay. Staff was nice
This is a tiny room “hotel” with shared bathrooms and showers. Only book if you’re on a budget. This is not a typical hotel with amenities. Just a small room to lay your head for the night and bathrooms that smell like Penn Station. This is an honest and irrefutable review.
This was an acceptable budget-friendly option for one night's stay. Ear-plugs/ear-buds are very helpful to block out the old AC noise. I don't understand previous comments that the bathrooms are not secure. Yes, guests use a swipe card to enter the bathroom/shower but once you are in that single room, the door can be locked. No-one else can enter. It was a terrific location. You get what you pay for. This is a budget option, but it was fine for me.
