Rooms are smaller than I thought. Room is a bit warm despite having AC. POD in Times Square is definitely more superior.

The property is in a convenient location. The first room was tiny, too small for 2 people. At an additional charge they put me in a larger room. The size was fine, but the wall pipes were very loud. The base of the toilet was leaking & then the next morning maintenance & cleaning people were yelling outside my door because the room across the way was flooding. Since I was traveling from the West Coast it was very early for me. Then the maintenance man pounded on my door to look in the walls at the pipes. The chaotic morning was unpleasant to say the least. The next 2 mornings were better, but I wouldn’t stay there again.

Okay - but not a great nights sleep!
The stay was okay - and had many plus points, such as location and friendly staff. However, the incredibly loud knocking pipes multiple times in the night in the room is a no no! This meant I was basically awake from 4 am every morning. I did tell the front desk but nothing was done. I appreciate it’s an old building but you shouldn’t sell rooms which emit houses that wake people

Overpriced for such small rooms. It felt like a small version of a dorm room. It was a bit noisy at times. Housekeeping was unprofessional laughing when I simply asked her where my room was. The staff who checked me in was a bit short and borderline rude. Not welcoming.

Great staff, all the essentials.
The staff were all amazing and kind. The room itself has everything you need for a small stay. The bathroom was a little too small and not the most clean.
