    The room we stayed in was not the room we thought we reserved based off of the pictures. That should be clarified that it’ll be ONE of the rooms, not the first few photos displayed. We were ready to lose the $320 we spent just to get a hotel with a much cleaner bathroom. For how much we spent we were honestly better off getting a hotel on the outskirts of the city and just take the subway had we known how easily accessible the subway/bus was. Not exactly thrilled, but I guess that’s partially my fault for not reading the reviews.

    Location is great. Minutes away from Times Square and the subway. Really the only good thing about it. Owner was pleasant via text.

    The pictures showed on booking don’t look like the room we got. The cleanliness seems disappointing. It takes a while for the shower to get warm, after that it burns and the after a while becomes normal warm temperature.

    The location is great.

    The check-in in booking says 12-14, and when the owner answer me, the check-in was at 3pm. Lasting, when you enter to the building, it smell not so good but is only at the first stairs because is where the building store the garbage.

    I was in a very little room. Just for rest and take a shower. The apartment was clean, the bathroom was clean. It’s a really quiet place to rest, there wasn’t any kind of noise, and is very close to Times Square what I appreciate very much. The location is very well, subway at the corner. l didn’t use the kitchen, just sleep and take shower, So was ok. The room is quite little, and the bed very comfortable. It hasn’t air conditioned but a fun, and is enough. The room has a middle window and that’s very good. The apartment is very secure, the owner give you the keys.

    Luckily we didn't spend much time in our room. Absolutely nothing like the photos. Our room wasn't shown in any of the photos online. We had a window-less room, which made it very hot at night. There was also a fan blowing out hot air in the hallway. The headboard wasn't attached to the bed and was propped up by the pillows The towels smelt clean but had unsightly stains all over them. The walls looked like they needed to be washed and by the time you have two suitcases in there, there's not much room for anything else. The bathroom was tiny and had mould all over the ceiling and dirty black pipes underneath the sink. Our bedroom door awkwardly opened outwards into the 'office'.

    Great location, super close to Times Square and had good access to the subway

    The bed were heavily stained, as well as the towels, the walls and the bathroom contained grey mold in various areas on the ceiling. The area was a built in room within the living room so there was no circulation of air which made the room all hot. Before the experience the room owner contacting me was very aggressive and difficult to communicate with.

    There was nothing I liked.

    Hall was depressing. Entry is a shabby unmarked door next to Burger King. TV did not work. Owner was aware but never fixed it. No hot water in shower. I sent owner a request for a partial refund. Do not expect he will respond. For a small amount more go to the better run cleaner more pleasant Americana Inn nearby.

    • The bathroom was very dirty, which significantly affected my experience. • All the piples were totally clogged preventing me to even take a shower • The general living area was also unclean, making it difficult to feel comfortable. • On my first day here, there was a delay of several hours in providing the key, forcing me to wait outside in freezing temperatures. • The electricity has repeatedly stopped working during my stay.

    I advise you friends not to go and reside in this room. Well it's horrible it's a waste of money. What I ask the owner to give a facelift to his apartment, because in the near future you're going to have big problems.

    👎 👎 👎 👎 no thing honestly and truly it's the worst, it's the worst residence I've seen in my life. Well already at the entrance, I see piss everywhere.And when you go up the stairs there are bad smells and in the room, it's a disaster, the carpets are dirty, the bed is dirty, there are ticks. I saw ticks, it's really a disaster. I've never experienced moments as horrible as that.
