Very well located hotel
I liked this hotel a lot. Rooms are functionally decorated, and had all the conveniences that I needed. The room was clean and tidy and it was cleaned regularly. The reception staff were helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. It is very well located and the train stations, buses (and airports) are all easily accessed. For example, Times square is a short walk away.

It is cheaper and convenient but come on, a "resort fee"? There's not even a gym. Even though sheets and towels are clean, there is a smell on the bed that someone slept there with dirty hair/body and has permeated the mattress.

Good location, well run hotel
This was a birthday gift to our two adult kids to see NYC for a week. The location was convenient & affordable and we felt safe the entire time. The room itself is cozy (tiny) but that's fairly standard for NYC. We didn't hear sounds from other rooms, and the room was given a light cleaning each day. It had a safe that worked well, and the AC worked just fine. The queen bed was mainly comfortable but the edge seemed a little squashed. The USB port plugs by the desk weren't working but others in the room did. Overall I'd recommend this hotel.
