A bit more rundown than the photos, but the rooftop view really is something! Convenient but not exactly pleasant walk to the subway; the subway is very convenient for Manhattan visits. Helpful staff. Hotel rules are a bit oddly strict about breakfast, but assuming they have their reasons. Solid stay.

The hotel itself is very clean and well located. Unfortunately I had chosen the option online to pay later at check-in and the hotel decided to cancel my reservation after trying to charge my card in advance. When I called and asked for them to honor the price for my rebooking they did not which is unfortunate. When you travel you want to make sure your hotel doesn’t cancel your reservation and alters your plans. I would suggest not to pick the pay later option.

Decent stay for what it is. As someone who travels frequently—staying anywhere from budget motels to luxury resorts—I’d place this a step above a standard budget stay because of the nearby coffee shops, the rooftop, and breakfast.

The French toast at breakfast was great, but keep in mind that they only allow one breakfast seating per room, so everyone in your party has to eat at the same time. On the downside, the bed wasn't very comfortable and the bathroom is a little dated. We didn’t get a chance to visit the rooftop, but overall it’s a fine, basic option.

Its in an industrial area. So if that is sketchy to you, you can pay to park in the hotels parking lot. The property and rooms are clean. The rooms are on the small side and the bathroom doesn't have a lot of counter space. And you have to request an iron. If that bothers you, there is your heads up. If it doesn't, you are all set. The beds are are iron frames. Again, if that bothers you, now you know.

I arrived at approximately 8 pm on 6/1/26. I reserved it for 1 night at $385. I was traveling alone. I asked the front desk receptionist, after she assigned me a room on the 1st floor, if she could change my room to a higher floor because, as a woman, I’m not comfortable in a 1st-floor room. I heard many stories, so I feel afraid.
She stated that I would have to pay extra for a higher floor. Of all the years and hotels I stayed in, I never heard of such a thing. She didn’t accommodate me. I definitely will not be returning to this hotel.

The 30 minute time limit for breakfast was a first for us, as was the policy that everyone had to be present simultaneously. I couldn't run down and grab coffee for my spouse - we both had to be there together.
Also, you need to get in the shower early, no hot water around 8am on our first night, so we got in shower by 7 the 2nd night.
Will be choosing other options for our next stay in NYC

Uno de los mejores hoteles en que me he quedado en NYC en relación precio-calidad. La decoración y los muebles se ven avejentados, pero el resto de cualidades del hotel hace que rápidamente te olvides. Tiene estación de metro a una cuadra y media, y en dos paradas estás en la 5ta avenida. Las camas podrían ser más cómodas, pero tampoco son malas. Los cuartos son amplios. El desayuno es una de las mejores cosas, super completo y te ayuda a empezar tu día con el pie derecho. El área es poco transitada por lo que no es ruidosa. Además, desde la terraza tiene una vista espectacular de Midtown Manhattan. La verdad, 10 de 10.

I had a very good experience overall during my stay. The biggest advantage for me was the parking. Since I was on a road trip, parking costs in NYC were a major concern, and this hotel offering around 10 parking spots at just $20 USD per day was extremely economical compared to nearby parking garages. My room was also facing the parking area, which gave me peace of mind as I could easily keep an eye on my car.
Another major plus is the location. The subway is within walking distance and makes it very convenient to travel practically anywhere in the city quickly and affordably. The hotel itself is centrally located, which made exploring NYC much easier.
Breakfast was standard but included in the hotel price, which added good value to the stay.
The only slight downside for me was the mattress, as I have back pain issues and found it a bit uncomfortable. I also had some trouble connecting to the internet on one of my phones, although my second phone worked perfectly fine, so I would not really count that as a negative.
Overall, it was a great experience and an excellent choice considering the location, budget-friendliness, and parking convenience. It made my first trip to NYC a memorable one.

If you want a luxury 5 star experience then you are in the wrong place. If you need an affordable, clean hotel then you have picked a great spot. The staff was very friendly, breakfast is included, rooms are clean and streamline, beds are comfortable. The area around the hotel is industrial but it is quiet. I travels with my adult daughter and we felt safe walking in the area and using the subway station near by. There are several restaurants nearby. We came to see New York and there are two subway stations within walking distance. The closest is Court Sq and it is 2 block away. It took use about 15 min to get to Time Square area and no more than 30 min for other popular spots in the city. The staff was very nice.

Overall, it was a very nice hotel with many conveniences. First, it’s very close to the subway, making access to Manhattan very easy and convenient. The complimentary breakfast was a great way to start each day; breakfast consisted of eggs, potatoes, bagels, fruit, juice, coffee and more. The employees were friendly, helpful, and especially organised in the kitchen. The room was ok, it was clean, it had a fridge, safe, tv, and a clean spacious bathroom. Negatives were the loud/noisy HVAC through the night and the limited hangars for hanging my clothes. The price paid was very reasonable so overall it was a very good stay and I recommend this hotel.

My wife and I chose this hotel because it’s a quick 20 minute subway ride into Times Square

The hotel itself is very nice, they keep everything clean, plenty of hot water in the bathroom.

Admittedly, our room was on the small side, but I chose the smallest room because it was the cheapest. So just be aware if you book the tradesmen room (full bed) just know there’s not a lot of room.

The breakfast every morning was stellar, the absolute best breakfast I’ve ever had in any hotel. The first morning, we had eggs, bacon, and onions and potatoes that you could mix in to have a bit more flavor. There was also French toast with honey and granola to sprinkle on top.

I would not hesitate to stay here again. In fact, I plan on coming back when our kids are old enough to visit New York City.
