The stay itself was fine, but I would not stay here again due to billing and communication issues after checkout. I was charged more than the amount listed on my Expedia receipt, and attempts to contact the hotel were unsuccessful. Keep all Expedia documentation in case issues arise.

This is by far the worst hotel experience Ive ever had booking through Expedia. I have traveled and stayed all over the world in budget accommodations. I do not need new, luxury hotels, but basic cleanliness and hygiene standards can be accomplished at the most basic room rentals. We have stayed in $20/nights last minute bookings in rural Mexico better than this Time Square hotel. The location is excellent if you are going to a Broadway show nearby, however for most people the rooms are uninhabitable. Black mold, bugs, crumbling walls, dangling and unsafe electrical work. Its all bad. The hotel management acknowledged this and did let us look at several other rooms to see what our preference of the worst was, however for an affordable old hotel "there is something wrong with all of them" according to the management. Do not book this hotel. Again, I have stayed in $20 Mexican hotels, booked 10 day trips to Jamaica for $400 round trip and had nicer humble accommodations. This place is flithy, unsafe, and no one here cares.

It was a good room, weird shower layout, good place smack dab in times square and easy to get around but room was weirdish, ac wouldn’t work sometimes- turns on and off bed was a little uncomfortable but good sheets and no charging port next to bed — inconvenient but it’s whatever. Would recommend for people who are consistently going out and just need a place to sleep, put bags, etc. debatable on whether or not I would come back

The front staff wasn’t terribly helpful. You can check in earlier than pm, but you have to pay $75. Our soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken. The heater was completely broken and disconnected from the wall. None of the ice machines were working throughout the hotel, despite being told they’ve been broken and were fixed. We had 2 separate instances of roaches in our room (one in the bathroom and 1 on the bed). The location of the hotel was wonderful, and cleaning staff was very nice, otherwise there isn’t much positive to state regarding this hotel.

The reviews had me a little worried but the property was absolutely fine! Elevators worked, room was clean, staff was kind, city noise was tolerable- over all great experience! City noise doesn’t bother me. We were on the 6th floor and sure- you hear alarms or sirens but it wasn’t a big deal. We were hardly in the room except to sleep and shower. We visited in December and the location was perfect. Great Irish pub next door.

I appreciated that the staff was nice, the price was low and the location was great, but… the photos didn’t reflect the condition of the room. The walls were in rough shape and the light fixture was falling apart. The wall plug was loose and wouldn’t hold a phone charger. Additionally, we requested and were granted late checkout at noon which was nice, but… the housekeepers banged on our door at 8am and 10am, waking us up both times. They shouldn’t do this unless they know the occupants have checked out and the desk should inform housekeeping when late checkout is granted.

Unbeatable Location & Staff, But Property Condition is Poor. THE GOOD: -Location: You are in the middle of the action. -Staff/Price: Transparent pricing (fees disclosed, deposit returned fast) and helpful housekeeping. -Comfort: AC/Heat worked perfectly. THE BAD: The property desperately needs a facelift. -Maintenance: Doors don't fit frames (we had to slam them to shut), leaving gaps that let hallway light in. Window shades were ripped and didn't block light. There were unpainted sections on the walls. -Bathroom: Shower has no door, so water floods the floor. The vent was broken, trapping steam and smells. -Cleanliness: Found trash behind the bed and questionable stains on the desk. Trash bags in hallways, and wall's were dirty. -Noise: Thin walls + door gaps = we heard every neighbor walking and slamming doors. -Layout: Incredibly Small compared to photos and Bunk beds blocked the TV with no outlets nearby. The ladder is painful to step on! VERDICT: Not "terrible," but not up to standards. It’s a safe budget crash pad if you ignore cosmetic damage and non-working WI-FI. If you want what you see in the photos, look elsewhere. (See attached photos for room condition. First time in NYC, but we are frequent U.S. travelers.)
"Master" Room with desk refrigerator and coffee maker.
Light coming through the door at night.
The first shade being damaged, as well as the unpainted wall.
Windows have two shades, a block-out and a transparent one. As well as the unpainted wall.

The elevator barely would stop on my floor, so lots of stairs which is crazy to charge 150 $ for “resort” fees when NOTHING WORKS the first room I was in the plugs didn’t work so they moved me to a different room where every time I left I had to get a new key because it wouldn’t open , happened 10+ times Was in a good area if you want to be close to time square but for how much I paid I should’ve stayed somewhere better.
