Travelled with group
Door to street unlocked, property unmarked, no staff at desk upon arrival, bathrooms out of order or moldy, dirty pillows and sheets, no available blankets, broken AC in window. Photos look nothing like the actual facility. Other patrons appear to live there and many were drunk in the lobby. I did not stay and sadly realized it too late for a refund. Please remove this property from Expedia so that no one else makes the same mistake I did.

The location is convenient and clean. But the place is super noisy because is located right in front of the metro line. So, don't expect to rest there. Better windows would make a big difference.

I like that they have an old elevator and staffs are helpful. I don’t like a lot starting from my room key doesn’t open the door and staff had to help me open. The restroom ran out of tissue, the floor not so clean with the oily soap on. The mattress was so thin and my body touched the steel frame under the mattress, it hurt I gotta have their blanket put on mattress then I could sleep. No kitchen. Location is very near to subways.

- What did I like? Only the zone. - What did I not like? 1. The check-in: they made me wait almost 24 hours to give me a room since they were over-booked, they said the 1st day would be refunded but it was not, they never even mentioned the subject anymore. 2. The property seems okay from the outside but it is in terrible condition on the inside, from the furniture to the elevator and the staircases.... EVERYTHING is old and in terrible condition. 3. The staff is somehow friendly but it seems like they do not care too much about the wellbeing of their guests. 4. The property condition and facilities are really bad. I don't know how can the authorities can let them operate and run a place like this. Is it true that they offer stays below the average for NY but they should invest in the property, the bathrooms, the elevator, the windows, the A/C, everything needs replacement. I would never recommend anyone to go to this place and I would never go back there. I rather spend more than stay at a HORRIBLE place like this one.
