This is really ideal for younger travelers. It’s like living in a dorm with people in and out making all sorts of noise in the middle of the night. The staff was friendly.

Great value for a Manhattan stay. The most courteous staff. Fast and efficient check-in/check-out. Early check-in wasn’t guaranteed but was easy and without hassle. Wonderful location, close proximity to many restaurants, sites, and subway station.

Clean rooms, attentive staff, great location. Two of us stayed in a bunk bed pod and had enough room to move around comfortably. Restrooms were clean every time we stepped into them during a three-night stay. On the second day of our stay, our AC went out and the room would not cool down. Spoke to the front desk on our way out that morning and by the time we returned in the afternoon, they had the issue resolved. If you don’t mind staying in pods/hostels and can manage with less room square footage, they are a great way to save money on a trip. This one was great; would stay here again.
