Nice little spot for the weekend! Small but clean room. I upgraded to have a private bathroom-plenty of hot water. Walls are thin, so can hear people in hallway, but wasn’t too bad. Just a few blocks from subway. Older hotel, so no elevator-stairs are a little steep, might be a little difficult with larger luggage. Read fine print for check-in, housekeeping, etc. I felt safe as a solo woman traveler, and would stay again.

There is very little room for the price. The place needs upgrading. You have to climb rickety steps. The walls had holes and there were no windows that you could see out of. There is no common to meet up or sit and read. It is convenient if you are visiting Parsons and there are plenty of places to eat and shop, just don’t plan on staying in the room!

Worst hotel in New-York !

No elevator. No window. Nobody to check-in except someone blaming you not to have received the door and room codes. Shared bathroom. A shame ! Really a place to avoid. I ask for a refund for this awful experience.

For the cost, the room was not well-appointed, cheap cabinets, one with broken, mis-matched doors, and one with water damage. A mirror hung off center in a weird location, holes in the walls, peeling paint, two mis-matched towels in the bathroom. But the bathroom seems "updated" and seemed clean.
