the bathroom, room, and especially the bed were clean and comfortable. when I arrived, the AC was on fan mode, and there was a smoke smell in the room. the fan took care of it in a few hours, but the first impression is that it's clearly an old hotel - the carpet is badly kept, had holes, and the wallpaper with a lot of visible tears. my room was *in* the staircase, meaning I had to access the staircase to access my room, which was weird and made the experience eerie. plumbing is odd, too, it took too long to get hot water on the shower, and only a sprinkle of water came out of the sink faucet (cold - if I wanted hot, I'd have to content to drips). the thing that kept me grounded in the whole experience was the staff, especially Miracle, who was very friendly and extremely helpful at all times. that being said, New York is expensive, and this is what you get for this price (which isn't cheap, but it's NY).
