I booked into the Candy Hostel (VERY RUDE STAFF) and ended up at Jazz on the Park. The staff there was absolutely amazing. Extremely friendly and attentive. It is located right on Central Park and very convenient to the subway for exploring NYC. I will definitely be coming back!!!
Great room (though it was tiny). Clean, neat, nice, friendly. Aroom is jsut to sleep in and tha tis all I did. Butit was close to everything. I was two blocks from Central Park! Lawd I loved it. All for under 70 a night!
