Pros:

The room was modern and clean and had a great view of the Manhattan skyline. The front desk staff was super nice and helpful. Great location near the 2 & 5 lines. Bodega with an atm and drug store in the same block.

Cons:

There was a slight misconnect with the front desk and housekeeping which caused us some inconvenience during our stay. Eventually the problem got fixed.

The neighbourhood was a little rough but didn't cause anyharm.

Good stay near direct metros to Manhattan
Pros:

Spacious, comfortable and clean room for a family of 4. Hotel is located near the metro that can get us to Central Park in ~30min. We also liked the presence of staff late in the evening allowing for late check ins.

Cons:

Why not consider adding some decoration to make it more lively and less sad looking? Neighborhood can be a bit intimidating.

Walkable and affordable! Great location if you’re going to a Yankees game.
Pros:

Nice little hotel with a unique style and feel. Rooms were clean and staff were friendly and helpful!

Cons:

The location is interesting but don’t let it scare you off from booking. Busy mornings with people out and about from all different walks of life. Keep to yourself and you’ll be just fine! :)
