Everything was lovely for a short stay and the location is amazing! Highly recommend. The only issue we had was that the bathroom sink (and to a lesser degree the shower) didn’t really drain (took an hour or so after brushing teeth etc), but a minor inconvenience compared to the ideal location. Staff would have a little basket of snacks out for grabs at the front desk, which was cute and very appreciated! Would definitely stay here again.

Good location but worst bed ever
Hotel well located in Chelsea neighborhoods and easy to access with self-checking system (the hotel sent us the passcodes to enter hotel and room before our arrival). However, the room wasn’t very cleaned, and next to the lobby and laundry which was very noisy. Furthermore, the bed was very uncomfortable and bowl-shaped. My friend and I had to do our best not to crush each other during the night. I've attached a photo of the underside of the bed to show you the state of the box spring, which explains the hollow in the bed. Our other friend slept on the sofa bed which was hard and very uncomfortable too. I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay…

Very clean and cozy. Not the biggest but it is perfect for a couple. The staff were nice however there was no front desk till 5 pm which can be inconvenient for those who are checking in early. You should be able to get into your room anyways bc they send an email with ur room # and passcode to get in. The subway is down a few blocks, the street is quiet and not busy unless the trash truck comes which is very loud in the mornings but doesn’t last long. The ac didn’t work but we stayed in winter so thankfully we could open the screened window from some cool air which was perfect. The rooms are heated very well! Overall very nice stay, will be staying again for future nyc trips.

Superb location. Wonderful old building in excellent shape. Rooms are teeny but well organized. Great value for the price. Biggest issue: no elevator. We had a junior suite & those are on lower floors.

This was perfect for what we needed it for. It's right on the F train which has stops at Herald Square, Bryant Park, and Rockefeller Center - perfect if you are in the city for Christmassy things. It's in a great neighborhood out of the tourist trap midtown area. The room was small but big enough for three of us (we got a room with a pull out couch). We also had a room with a private bath, which not all of these rooms have (but it's very clear when booking which type you are picking). We were also lucky to be on the 1st floor, since this is a 5 story walk-up. The bed was not very comfortable (sort of caved in in the middle and very squeaky!) but for significantly less money than any other hotel I could find for the busiest tourism week in NYC, it was fine!

Great location, broken t.v, heater, and no repair
This place has an excellent location near Union Square, making taking the subway easy. There's also a Whole Foods and Target at Union Square. An excellent Japanese restaurant nearby and a great French bakery and a couple of bagel shops, as well as a McDonald's for cheaper options. So we were happy with that. However, the sleeper sofa in the room was unusable as a bed as there is a metal bar down the middle. We reserved for three people, so we needed that as a bed. We ended up having to go to Target for a blow up bed for our daughter to sleep on. Also the t.v. stopped working the 6th day of our 10 day stay and, even though they kept promising to fix it, they never did, and they offered no reduction in fees for that. On the 7th night, the heat also stopped working, and the room got very cold. Again, we notified them of this, and it took another day to fix it , so we were without heat for two days. Just unexcusable! We would have checked out and demanded our money back for the remainder of our stay, but we only had one night left. We won't stay at this hotel again. The lack of heating was the last straw.
