9. me and a friend of mine, went to New York September 23-27, didnt want to spend alot on a hotel as we seen hotel prices in New York find this hotel on the internet worry alittle about the reviews on here, but figure for the price we would gamble a chance, got to the hotel little nervous, but was happy once got there, room was fine hotel smell of paint as the was fixing it up, the hotel is old but we never once felt out of place, room was clean not a 5 star hotel, but if you want a cheap hotel with a nice location, pick this place, trust me you wont be doing much other than sleeping and cleaning up, its New York a city that truly never sleeps, my only suggest would be to bring your own towel as the hotels are a little small and thin, kind like motel 6 towels, but basic hotel and great locationr.
