The rooms are tiny and have no roof. There’s basically 30-40 people sleeping in one big room separated by thin walls. Be warned.

I discovered this sweet small retreat in May of this year. This is my 3rd stay here. It is very comfortable. Close to public transportation and very quiet. There is a Whole Foods store 2 blocks north! A New York Deli 2 1/2 blocks west. And awesome Chinese Food 2 blocks south! It is the perfect place to stay when you’re traveling alone. It would not work if you were traveling with a close friend or love interest! Perhaps, the owner could make a section of this facility for lovers???? Kraige Block

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The loosely cris crossed ceiling feels unsafe. Eating inside the room is prohibited. The efforts to make it look safe by not using actual keys or keycard but rather two sets of number combinations sent thru phone is inconvenient. What was sent to mine was different to what combination that actually worked. Sofa upholstery was way too old and stained. Stairs are very steep. No elevator. Housekeeping- no English.

It can be quiet during the day but not so during the night when you need to get some sleep. Adjacent guests were making a lot of noise despite advisories to be quiet or a penalty can be imposed.

If you do not scare of the old look in the beginning, It takes to give it a shot. I liked it. The place looks old. But It has a character. I liked it.
