The hotel is located in the heart of Manhattan, just 2 minutes away from midtown via the 96th Subway, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The rooms come with stacked beds and a shared bathroom, offer a comfortable stay, but the weak WiFi could be improved. The service was exceptional, with one young receptionist going above and beyond to find us a HDMI cable. Despite the slightly higher price, the value for money is evident in the prime location and helpful staff.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were kept clean and had ceiling fans but lacked proper ventilation, although having a private bathroom was convenient. The stacked beds were a bit unusual, and the room could feel stuffy at times. The service, especially from one young receptionist, was commendable as they went above and beyond to assist us, despite some lacking in overall hospitality. The location was very close to the 96th red line subway station, making it convenient for accessing downtown easily. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited, with only locally caught fish available. The facilities were decent, offering basic amenities for a comfortable stay.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, as the hotel was conveniently located near the subway and in a good neighborhood. The rooms, though equipped with a sink in the bedroom and private bathroom, felt a bit stuffy with the only ventilation coming from a ceiling fan. The service was lackluster overall, except for one young receptionist who went out of their way to assist with a HDMI cable. The hotel offers shuttle service, which was a plus. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.
