4. The room furniture is dented up at the legs by what looks to be years of vacuum nicks, there is peeling wallpaper in some corners, the bathroom sink drawers were off their track, the shower tiles needed to be touched up (better yet, replaced completely), the closet door didn't even have a latch on it and it swung open, and the electronic room door key mechanism was coming loose from the door.

7. Our location couldn't have been better--it was our first tourist trip to New York--we normally go to eat and drink and visit friends but this time took my 11 year old nephew and saw every tourist attraction there was and this was a convenient safe location amidst much finer more expensive hotels- we had connecting rooms- one room was great with a king bed with new good mattress and powerful shower although the room was bright pinkish!--the other had 2 queen beds- old mattresses loud A/C and could hear the noise on the street .

"Great price for the location! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/4/2009 Vote

8. I felt like living NYC; Waking-up early going for running at the central park, taking shower (using the bath robe) then drinking coffee at Starbucks and of course shopping at fifth avenue.
