The location was good for our visit. The hotel itself is serviceable enough, but we had several issues. The main concern was evidence of a previous bed bug infestation, tiny room, poor internet, barely warm water for showers and continual elevator breakdowns.
In the end, Manhattan accommodation is expensive and this was a cheaper option. Rooms are small, the TV won't work and for us, the internet access required a hot spot to be placed in the room, which worked for only a few days. It is located in Korea Town, food options are plenty and subway options have multiple stations within 2 minutes walking distance. For a longer stay like us, it was a 3 block walk to a laundromat which was handy.
In short, it was convenient but rough accommodation. I would not stay there myself ever again, but I would recommend if your budget was tight. My suggestion would be to spend less days in Manhattan and use the money saved to spend on better quality options.
One highlight is the 14th Floor bar. Check it out, it's small but has a fantastic view of empire state building from the rooftop bar (it's independent to the hotel) but access is via the elevators (when they work).
