staff were helpful
location was perfect
just too cramped for anything
Staff was great and helpful, helped me out with luggage storage for free. Bathroom could be cleaner and it gets noisy at times but you get what you pay for. Great location too
Courteous staff, great location, charming street-facing public rooms. Floors are separated by gender. Room & bathrooms very clean. VERY QUIET!! Everyone respected the no talking rules. It was perfect for a few nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Hot water and clean kitchen unit, just wish the shower door would open the other way
The establishment was very clean and quiet during most hours of the day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have stayed here twice and it has been amazing. I love the area and everything is so convenient, walkable, and accessible.
Great location in trendy neighborhood. Close to trains and south Manhattan activities.
The price is amazing.
