There was nothing “wrong” with this property, it is simply a more affordable option in New York. You can walk to most of the tourist attractions easily from this location. The hotel entrance is hidden in the middle of multiple buildings, so carefully follow gps. In general, the hotel is clean. It is somewhat difficult to navigate to your room, so carefully follow the wall directions. The hallways had a very strong odor of food and spices…that was not pleasant. Thankfully, the smell did not drift into our room. The rooms are simple; really ideal for a quick stay. Nothing fancy and the amenities are very basic.
The beds were ok; I’ve definitely slept on worse! The bedding smelled clean and fresh, and the pillows were decent.
The front counter staff was very kind. He was happy to answer questions and gave good directions.
