In the first room the TV didn't work, the toilet didn't flush right, you had to push the handle 3 times to make it work, the shower leaked. They moved us to another room, there was hair in the sink but they did fix the TV. Will not book there again when we go back.

It is a convenient place to stay as we were taking metro from New Haven to grand central station. The place is very dated, can use a complete spruce-up, from the carpeting in the halls and rooms to the bathroom fixtures. Bed was not comfortable. This is just constructive criticism. Breakfast was ok, staff was ok.

The room was very cold initially but after adjusting the heater it reached s more comfortable temperature. Location of the was room made it very lighted by the outside lights in the hallway including thru the door. I prefer a pretty dark room when sleeping. The desk that was crooked and affixed to the dresser ( no legs in left side-was rather odd.
