Clean place, helpful staff, good option for long or short stays. The beds are comfortable, and the showers too (the toilet are a bit on the small side, but nothing major). Rooms have a locker, AC and heater. It has a cafeteria in the lobby and a new bar for guests. Study room, kitchen, laundry and other spaces are available for guests. Check in or check out processes are very smooth, and luggage storage is available.

A great hidden gem especially for those traveling on a budget. NYC has great restaurants but that can get expensive so the cooking facilities are a tremendous asset. The patio, bar/ lounge, pool table are all great amenities

Staff are great, a/c was working this visit. (yay!) There were several young women who turned the overhead light on and conversed loudly after midnight. That’s the only thing that made this visit four stars instead of five.
