Great location quirky rooms!

Can Be evaluated above average.

8.0

Location was very good and accessible to attractions and Metro Station, Room much smaller than expected, however it's Ok for one person not More.

There was no water in the bathroom for the last night while the receptionist informed me that they are doing maintenance and I struggled to take shower after long day, even there was no any other arrangement from the hotel management nor any notification so the guest at least can store some water.

Excellent budget option in NYC

8.0

Location was excellent, room was clean, lots of cool spots to hang out within the hotel. Appreciated both an early check in and late check out. Water bottles and refill station also appreciated!

The building is very dark. The ac is loud, putting it on fan helped a lot.
