Me parece que es un buen lugar para alojarse en NY. Solo tomar en cuenta que no cuenta con elevador por las maletas. Cuenta con la opción de baño privado o compartido. Volvería de nuevo.

Asked for accommodations because my mother recently had a back injury. They did their best to accommodate, but had an empty room on the first floor they could have easily put us in. However, the lady at the front desk was incredibly nice! I would 100% stay here again if my mom wasn’t traveling with me.

Great place to stay if you’re looking for an inexpensive option right near Union Square. Building is old but recently renovated and everything is up to date. Rooms are very clean, bathrooms very clean. Be warned that there is no elevator: if your room is on 2 or above, you’re walking up with your suitcase. It was a great stay and the contactless check-in was very smooth. I had a bit of an issue and needed to call the front desk—and despite there being no front desk personnel on site, the person on the other end of the “front desk” number I called was very helpful and sorted out my issue right away. And this was late, like 10:00 PM. It was a care-free stay in a great neighborhood and I would definitely stay here again.

Why I should be given a refund!

1. The room was laughable small for 2 but claimed it could accommodate 3. 2. The TV was unusable. It was mounted in a way that could neither be viewed from bed nor by 2 people on coach without broken neck. (Picture available) 3. No toilet paper! No one on duty either last night nor this morning. 4. Had to put coffee pot on floor to plug in.

To start there was no advance notice about this building not having an elevator, having bad knees and sore back is not great when your room was in the 5th floor and you have to get your luggage up to your room. Shower water pressure was minimal and the air conditioner never shut off even when the controls were off. Let’s just say this was my only and last time staying there.

Other than that, i have nothing but praise for this little hotel located in a prime location in manhattan. Excellent will def come back. Make aure you go have breakfast at the hollywood diner on 16th st.
