Clean, good location, lacking

We stayed in a bunk bed room Pros: room was clean, staff was friendly and generally helpful, bed was comfortable. Cons: there are no bright bulbs in the entire hotel. Hallways are dark and drab, room was dark, bathroom was dark. One of the handles on the bunk fell off in my (teen) daughter’s hand and she fell while climbing down from the top bunk. The bathroom has no where to put ANYTHING. 2 hooks on the back of door for towels and that is it. No other hooks, no countertop, no shelf. For anyone who wants to do more than brush your teeth- it’s an issue. The “desk” in the room is so tiny- it’s hardly deep enough to set a laptop on. It’s too bad because with a a few changes it could be so much better!

Loved this hotel! Room was very modern and well designed. The room was a bit small but was plenty of space for one person. For 2 people with large suitcases it could be tight but that's how it is in Manhattan! The hotel has a great location with a subway stop 1 block away and a fantastically walkable location. Overall it was a great value and I'd definitely stay here again.

Great hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Nice amenities (restaurant, bars, breakfast/lunch). The only thing is the rooms are a little dark. Modern LED lightning would take care of that in a heartbeat.
