The hotel is old and the rooms are small but clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's a shame that the wi-fi only works in the lobby but it's for free so it's manageable. The nearest subway is 79th Stret only 5 minutes walk and there's a Zabar's only 2 blocks away on Broadway. There's a deli only a few minutes walk from the hotel. I would definately come back the next time I'm in New York :-)

"Good rate and location, poor rooms"
The location and the reception care are very good. Old Hotel will need a restauration. We reserved a suite 3 persons: the rooms we got were really small, the single ok but the double was in a space for a single one. Even the bathroom was really sacrified.But how we pay canceled these problems: the rate is very good to stay in Manhattan.

"cheap and clean"
For a last minute booked hotel, it was exactly what we needed.The bedroom was a little small, and so was the bed, but everything was very clean. The view was really nice. The bathroom and the linenswere very clean.Location was also good beacause you are really close from the metro !

"great bang for the buck!"
We thought this hotel was a terrific bargain! We loved the location, the staff couldn't have been more pleasant, the view from our room was lovely, and the place was wonderfully clean! That being said, if you are looking for luxury, this hotel is not for you, as the furnishings and room size are most akin to the experience of staying in your old aunty's tiny spare bedroom. (But who comes to NY to hang out in their hotel room, anyway?) My only "complaint": I must recommend they invest in new doors! Anyone with a credit card could have jimmied their way in to our room with ease, as it practically hung off the hinges, with only a simple doornob lock. -kinda like a loose-hinged bathroom door. We had no problems with theft, but we were concerned enough to leave our valuables locked in the car.I am going to say "yes" to recommending this hotel to a friend, and I would definately return, but must qualify by saying that my more high-maintenance friends would not be interested in this hotel at all.

"The staff is acessible and the room has the facilities we need"
Pros: The staff is acessible and the room has the facilities we need.
Cons: I wish they had changed the bed sheets, since we spent a week with the same sheets. in addition, the floor was not vacuumed once a week.
