An additional fee to check in early, when the room is available is just greedy. You had approximately 20 people sitting in the lobby waiting hours for rooms that you said were ready and available. The shower could also be improved. The hot water took a long time to get warm-not hot, which is especially problematic during winter in New York.

This hotel is super dirty, they do not clean the rooms unless you ask them too, The pillows and bed sheets have blood stains, the workers are very rude they basically ignore you, they do not have any water to drink not even vending machines, the ac hardly works, and the space in the rooms is very limited. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

If you don’t care about the condition of your room/stay then it’s a good hotel for a cheap price. You get what you pay for. Walls were chipped and dirty, the paint job looks like a 3 year old did it, the bathtub had several chips on the side, No room service or house cleaning. Not even a phone to call for extra towels or toiletries. The front door doesn’t even work and you have to use the side door. The hotel reeks of cigarettes so bad. The “rooftop” level is closed off but hey, we had a roof over our heads and it was okay but this establishment is not very clean. The lobby trash was full to the brim oh and also… they had no hot water and when they did it took over 10 min to warm up. Overall it served its purpose so I’m not mad at it but for sure next time I will take my business somewhere else or across the street lol. A plus was definitely that we could leave our luggage’s after check out for no extra charge!

It was a good thing there was a subway station within walking distance, but the hotel/room itself could’ve used improvements ex: my curtains couldn’t fully cover the window so there was a big gap my entire stay.

The cleanliness of the property was decent, the location was good the price was okay. But for the amount of money I paid I expected a little more. At the time of check-in the front desk personnel told me that I owed $150 that was due at the property during check-in.... I told her that my booking receipt said it was going to be $75 so she switched it to the mount on the booking receipt. The room had a sun shade but it did not have curtains making the room very bright at night. The area around the hotel is very noisy. there was no turn down service at this hotel for the 5-day stay. We had to chase down the cleaning later for towels on several occasions. At one point they did not bother to put the towels in the bathroom they just threw them on the bed and they only took out the trash once. We found a baby cockroach crawling around the bathroom sink. To which I took photos off. The room locked mini amenities, there was no closet nowhere to hang the clothes, no ironing board, no iron, & no hair dryer. I asked the front desk regarding an iron, they let me borrow an iron but they said that they did not have or carry ironing boards. The hallway seem to be pretty noisy at night until early hours of the morning. We paid almost $700 for five nights, the price did not match the quality of service. This is not a chain hotel. it seems to be privately owned therefore they lack a lot of basic amenities. Very very basic. Definitely would not be staying here ever again.

Honestly this is a horrible place. Cranky people at front desk, pot smell filled the check in area because the front door was open while guest were smoking it right outside.. After check in we went out. When we came back our room smelt of strong cigarette smoke even tho it says it's a no smoking hotel. Front desk guy said no one was in our room, then where did the smoke come from?? Asked for extra pillows cause they only give you one, but the guy said no because it was late and the maids weren't there. Rooms were very small and very out dated. Just gross. Toilet seat paint was peeled. Dirty walls. Please don't stay here!
