101 HOTEL MANHATTAN - Little Italy, SOHO, NOHO, LES, East Village, Chinatown - 1 GIG Internet, 12Inch Mattress, Hardsurface Floors

The good: You get your own "room" to "sleep" in. They provided ear plugs. The location is right around the corner from the Grand Street station in Chinatown (B, D) train. The bus stop is literally in front of the entrance of the hotel that takes you uptown and onto 3rd Avenue. The bad: Everything Else. This place is not accessible, so plan on carrying your bag up many many stairs. Don't plan on trying to drop your bag in the morning, as there is no one there until 11am. Apparently, you also need to pay a bag storage fee, but I didn't because I was required to bring my bag to work. Check in at 3 was crazy busy with people, but efficient. This place should not be allowed to call itself a hotel. It is a hostel. You get your own room, but the ceilings are open for ventilation, so you hear everything! Snoring, farts, giggles, and alarms. Awful. There is one shared bathroom with a single shower on each floor. While the bathroom was pretty clean, the floor was often wet due to the proximity of the shower. I would never stay here again. This place is a hostel for college-age students.

It is what it is. Great location. Basic.

This is a very run-down, hostel-like property charging NYC prices. My door had screw holes and cracks where the locks had apparently been moved after being broken, and the only security for one’s belongings when you leave is a basic non commercial doorknob lock. The overall feel was more like an old Bowery flop house, which is fitting for the location. I also waited almost 30 minutes for someone to show up at the front desk to check in. On the positive side, the AC worked, and the mattress had a sealed plastic cover with polyester sheets which at least provided some peace of mind about bedbugs. I’d strongly recommend looking beyond the photos on Hotels.com and checking other sources before booking so you have a realistic idea of what you’re getting into…and if go for it then be sure to BYO-TP.

It’s cheaper , nothing else to say

This is a good place to stay and you don’t need amenities. The room is very small but it was clean and the bathroom was clean. It’s really quiet and if you don’t mind the stairs you’re good to go. I would come back. Good price and clean. That’s great in my book.
