dislike: sharing a bathroomm,but i knew this going in.
likes: friendly, helpful staffl. they took pity on us and let us into our room 6 hours early (after a hellish bus ride and 8 block walk in the heat to get there). room had a sink, a/c and cable tv and the bed was comfortable. bathroom across the hall was clean and roomy and we had our own key to it. didn't have to wait to use it and the floor we were on was very quiet.
this is NOT the omni, so if you are looking for that, don't stop here. i was looking for cheap, clean overnight accomodations, and i would certainly stay here again if i come to nyc. what they lack in amenities they make up for in service. we could store our bags after we checked out and pick them up before we left. got subway directions and other suggestions from the front desk staff. the hotel is b/w 5th and Madison on broadway in a relatively clean, safe area. there is a bodega 2 doors down and a chinese restaurant next door, and you are 2 blocks in either direction from 2 subway stops. centrally located to everything.
