This property is CLOSED due to a fire a couple of months ago. They didn't let me know and Expedia wouldn't refund me. Thankfully I booked alternative accomodation after Googling the hotel and finding out about the fire. I even went to the hotel during my time in NY and it's completely boarded up. Not a good experience to be messed around like this as others won't know it's closed until they get there.

Staff seemed friendly enough, but you're getting what you pay for. Not a single horizontal surface to set anything on aside from the bed, so I ended up tying the trash can liner around the interior door knob so I could turn the trash can upside down and use it as a bedside table. The inclusion of a wall mounted fan was nice though.

Un cauchemar !! !!!!! Moins de 5m2, pas de fenêtre et aucune aération. Aucun nettoyage durant un séjour de 12 jours. Hotel crasseux, des drogués partout dans les couloirs et les toilettes communes et très sales. La nuit impossible de dormir, à cause du bruit. des voisins agressifs qui nous ont insultés car on voulait dormir. Insécurité permanente. Le personnel n'a jamais rien fait pour nous aider, et ne vidait même pas les poubelles !!!!!! des bestioles partout, mon mari piqué sur tout le corps. Et pour couronner le tout, l'hotel a pris feu le dernier jour de notre séjour. Nous y avons perdu un disque dur et un ordinateur. Nos affaires ont été inondées par les pompiers et nous avons du jeter une partie d'entre elles. On a de la peine à croire ce que nous racontons mais vous pouvez tout vérifier ! La direction a exigé que l'on paye toutes les nuits d'avance, ce qui nous a empêchés de chercher ailleurs.

They had a good customer service but I was not overall pleased with the property ,It was so dirty and stinky especially the bathroom and they might consider having the washing machine somewhere far from the room or atleast operate certain times and not during the night when we’re trying to sleep (it was loud) .They should enforce security pretty much smelt cigarettes,someone was smoking inside

Please don't do it.

It's cheap and in a good location but other than that it's very very bad. The entrance door at the bottom of the stairs is always open. I walked in to three kids smoking weed on the stair case, this was my welcome to the hotel. Got up stairs, was allowed in , I looked around and I felt like walking back out but I'm in a new country and after a 10 HR flight I just wanted to sleep. It smelt bad, I went to my room to find a stained towel folded in the bed which had stands of black hair. I washed for a different room, the second was no better but at least a bit cleaner. There's lots of homeless people in there, asking for money as you walk in and out the hotel, the bathrooms and toilets OMG! It's beyond bad. I closed my eyes to have a shower, I used McDonald's toilets all through out my stay, wash hand basin was blocked and full of used water. It's cheap but it's horribly bad in there. I was counting down days to leave. Now I left.. I definitely will not return. But the guys there are nice, mainly Chinese I guess it's a family business. You are also close to little Italy and the subways. If you can afford elsewhere , do go elsewhere.

The location is 2nd to none. We were located close to subway stations and within walking distance to most of NYC'S hot spots. Staff were friendly. When we arrived and a few other times we were inside the building, there was a staff member cleaning the building, but the building itself is just so beyond needing a clean. It needs to be repaired desperately. We are not at all fancy people and can handle some things, but I however puked at the sight of black mold and broken ceilings in the urine aroma filled bathroom. I was unable to use the washroom to shower or urinate for the 4 days we stayed. As for bed bugs, we were safe - our sheets were clean and the mattress creases were free of bugs. That being said, our 4th and final night - my 2am wake up call from a cockroach crawling on my face was the final straw. I stayed awake until 4:30 am when we headed to catch our flight. In a sense, I am thankful our stay wasn't the greatest because we did everything not to hang out inside even when the weather wasn't the best and managed to see so much while there. If you don't mind cockroaches and are just looking for a place to rest your head, then it serves it's purpose.

Completely unlivable, felt so unsafe, smelled so bad, was so noisy and even the largest room is literally a closet with no windows. Didn't end up staying here because of the conditions.

Absolutely unsanitary and degrading for human occupancy. To top it off, found a live bed bug crawling on the bed. The front desk apologetic but no action taken at all to remediate or redress the situation. I left without staying overnight. A truly traumatic experience that I would not wish upon my worst enemy.

I stayed here about a month ago and while it wasn't amazing, it didn't cross the line into roaches. I found one in my room during my stay this time. You get what you pay for here, which is a closet with a bed and water damaged bathrooms down the hall without provided toilet paper or soap. You have to ask them for toilet paper and then keep it in your room. I ended up donating some hand soap I bought from a nearby store.

Me admira um aplicativo sério como vocês, oferecerem acomodações de um lugar como este, o qual deveria ser fechado pela vigilância sanitária, precisei cancelar e alugar outro hotel no mesmo dia, pagando o dobro do valor pois era impossível permanecer no mesmo! No meu quarto haviam batatas e pulgas, o lugar parece um cativeiro! Relatei tudo no mesmo dia que cheguei ao local para o aplicativo e sigo aguardando respostas, as imagens do site que já são ruins estão Manipulados e não condizem a realidade do local, sigo aguardando repostar, caso não aconteça, terei que procurar os meus direitos levando em consideração que fui enganada!
