I stayed here for three nights on a girls trip (just my bff and I) and it was great! the building is next to a major hotel chain so I felt pretty safe, but they also use a keypad/buzzing in to enter. barely any homeless people were around the area and I had no problems walking home at night as a young woman in her 20s. location was about 15-17ish minutes from times square so access to the subway was close and reliable. there were lots of restaurants and sit down bars you could walk to, too. the hotel only had one person working the front desk and I believe he lives on the first floor so he was there most of the time, but stayed in his room. his phone number is on the door though and he’s super responsive + accommodating so there were no issues getting in touch. the hotel will hold your bags after your reservation is up too so that was nice. my hotel room itself was great for the price. it wasn’t exactly spacious (for two people it was fine but any more than that, it will definitely be cramped) and I would say it’s comparable to a premium dorm room. it has a little kitchen with all the necessities (plates, forks, cups, etc.) an OK mattress, and lots of outlets. the bathroom was good as well. (however, they do not label their shampoo and body wash) I will say, if you are coming to New York on a hot day, you have to turn on the AC yourself and wait for the room to cool down (the lowest it goes is 60 degrees) overall, I really enjoyed my stay for the price and would recommend!
