Filthy, unfriendly dump.

We specifically asked for a room with 2 beds, but when we got to our room it only had one bed, and they didn't have any other rooms available so I had to sleep on the floor. The nasty, dirty, brown-stained, moldy, moist floor.
One bathroom on our floor was 'out of order', forcing about 20 rooms to share one bathroom. There was no hot water. Look, I didn't expect this place to be the Plaza or anything, but the very minimum that I wanted was a bed and a warm shower. I got neither.
The location is really not on the upper west side, it is in Morningside Heights a way crappier neighborhood than the upper west side.
So was it worth it? No way. This place is like one step up from sleeping on a subway bench.
On a side note, Absolute Bagels (some of the best bagels in NYC) is right around the corner on the way to the Sub station.
