Fine for a place to lay your head, but wouldn't use it as a place to stay to explore the city. No coffee available - and you get one shampoo "packet" and no conditioner. Not a bad place, but not great either.

Less than $100 per night in NYC. No safety concerns and my property was safe in my room. Some of the guests seeming to be availing themselves of the hotel's hourly billing plans, if you catch my drift.

The hotel was nice overall even though I kept extended my time and no one told me that it was a problem because I would have to check out and back in since I didn’t book my extra days I stayed there when I was booking consecutively.Only to receive an email through Expedia telling that I should follow guidelines.
