I was booked for a king or queen size bed and it was a full, first day I had to call at night because heat was unbearable and a technician was sent that room was without thermostat, so I had to be moved to another room, the next room was a little twin bed and I had paid for a queen and phone didn't work so they moved me again to another room and finally in the other room at around 1.00 a.m. there was noise from people that were working and vaccuming a room close by and had to call security to quiet the noise. it wasn't a good experience at all this hotel. There's not even a bending machine with water.

This hotel was super nice! I decided on a shared bathroom/twin bed for the price and it was not as intimidating as it sounds. The bathroom was always kept clean (there were 4 available on my floor). I would stay here again for a budget option.

No way is this hotel rated 3-star. The room is as small as a prison cell and does not have private bathroom. It is clean and in a good location though. Overall, it is a good deal for midtown NYC if you pay under 100. Anything above that is like a robbery.
