Recommend for this price!
Pros:

The location is fantastic - next to a park and metro station. Staff is friendly. We took an accessible room because we wanted bigger space. The room is still small but it's very common for New York. So the stay was worth the money!

Cons:

The floor was not very clean, especially under the bed. But overall it was up to standards.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

One staff member entered the room by mistake on a Saturday night at 9:30 pm, claiming that he was told he had to pick up the trash from our room. He later realized he was told to go to a completely different room. My sister was sleeping alone, and found a man entering the room. Obviously not a good experience for a woman alone in a hotel room.

Excellent séjour
Pros:

Emplacement à proximité de la ligne 1 et de central park.
Quartier calme qui fait du bien quand on a passé la journée dans les artères bruyantes de New-york.
Personnel très agréable.
Thé, chocolat et café disponibles à toute heure de la journée.
Qualité/prix très correct.

Cons:

Taille du lit, je mesure 176cm et je dépassais un peu du lit. Je déconseille à des personnes de plus de 180cm, du moins dans la chambre dans laquelle j'étais.

Modernized rooms and convenient location!
Pros:

Rooms were recently updated, staff is very friendly and helpful (and funny!), it's in a very convenient spot near good restaurants and easy access from riverside drive.

Cons:

Room could have used a mini fridge, but I understand that it would have taken up too much space.

Pros:

Quarto excelente, vista para o rio no 5 andar.
O quarto nao era grande mas a localização é perfeita, tem de tudo ao redor.
Perto do transporte, onibus e metro, estacao 79. E ainda conta com cafe na recepção ( apenas bebida).
Ainda guardam as malas, cheguei as 11 e o checkin somente as 15, guardaram as malas sem problema algum.

Cons:

Talvez o quarto um pouco pequeno se voce leva muita mala fica dificil. Porem passei o dia fora, entao isso nao foo um problema
