Simple, budget-friendly, clean, and convenient. Only 4 min walk from a subway station (line E). Located in a nice area. Many good restaurants and bars around. The Greenacre park is across the street with beautiful waterfalls and a cozy cafe. Room is very small, basic, but quiet, comfortable, and functional. I would stay again.

This hotel was great. The rooms are a little small, but my wife and I were exploring all day so the space was perfect just to come back and rest. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great area that makes walking to sites easy. The rooftop view is awesome, a nice cherry on top of everything.

This is a solid affordable hotel in a really great location. While the room was small and the bathroom was shared and down the hall, it was also quiet and comfortable and staff were helpful. We also enjoyed hanging out in the common area near the coffee shop on the ground floor and at the picnic tables outside. The location is an easy walk to Central Park or Times Square and there are many good and affordable restaurants nearby. You can also catch the subway just a couple of blocks away.
