Before booked I read some comments that said is dirty and the staff is rude or whatever. Nothing like that. The place is nice: clean, the staff is good as well. They have a cafeteria with variety of drinks including orange juice, coffee and a selection for breakfast (fruit, eggs, croissants, baggies etc). The WiFi is very good. The rooms are good as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the elevator it take so long to get from one floor to the other and the locker at the room are not big enough for big luggage (if you have one) but out of that for the price and location is good.

전철역에서 가까움. 수건 줌. 정수기 있음. 에어컨 빵빵해서 오히려 추움. 공용 샤워실 3개 화장실 4개가 같은 공간에 있는데 불편함. 그래도 가격대비 괜찮음. Close to the tube station. Towel provided. Not so comfy with the limited bathrooms.

It's perfect for folks traveling who want easy access to those touristy spots (Times Sq, Chambers St, Broadway, etc.) without having to stay in it. It's an easy 10-15 minute subway ride to almost everything, and less than a two minute walk to the subway. Also a nice walkable distance to the upper-west side of Central Park.
