I've stayed here twice already and will likely keep coming back. Every room has a bathtub, which is very rare for NY hotels, and the room is otherwise just comfortable and the location is fairly convenient. (Not the most central but good enough.)

We stayed for 4 nights in September 2026. Staff were super helpful. Location great, centrally located. Decor was a little tired and old school. We thought there was a gym. There is not, other than a day rate of $30 per day 3 blocks away. No bar. Breakfast was ok with cereal, bagels and limited fruit on offer. Value for money was a 7 out of 10..
