Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were very clean and well-equipped with basic amenities like a microwave, small fridge, freezer, and tableware, making it a compact but practical space. The location was convenient for accessing the subway and exploring Harlem, although it was close to a seedy section of the neighborhood. The dining options were limited and somewhat overpriced, but the service was friendly and accommodating. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a strong stale cigarette smell that even stuck to my belongings, and they felt a bit cramped due to limited space. On the positive side, the hotel's location was convenient to the subway and situated at the end of a charming street. However, the surrounding area lacked vibrancy, and the dining options were limited and overpriced.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, but there were some issues with amenities and control of the A/C. The downstairs area was charming, but noise could be a concern due to its proximity to the street and neighboring rooms.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, despite being clean and comfortable, were noisy due to the street and 24-hour petrol garage outside, and the small size was a downside with no elevator. The convenience to the subway was a plus, but the presence of numerous homeless people nearby was intimidating.
The hotel provided a mixed experience: the rooms were very clean and comfortable, but some areas were not properly maintained. The service was friendly, and the location had its positives and negatives. The dining options were limited, but the pricing was fair.
The hotel offers cozy and comfortable rooms in New York, including a private bathroom, albeit our encounter with a centipede was a downside. The small double bed and single bed arrangement worked well for two guests, offering decent value for the price paid. The location, though not very convenient for subway access, is great considering the price, although wandering at night is not recommended.
