The hotel may look very aged, but the room is adequately sized with a spacious bathroom. It is not centrally located, and the price reflects that. Overall, it's a good value.

The staff was helpful. The bed was ok. The room smelled of cigarettes. It was dark with all the lights on. The wifi was barely usable. It was very inconvenient to get to. 20 min to any subway.

Horrible!Es imposible que te dejen sin agua caliente y que al llamar para saber cuánto tiempo tomará que regrese, simplemente te digan: "va a tardar" sin darte una explicación o tiempo de resolución. NUNCA SE HOSPEDEN AQUÍ, ES VIEJO, HUELE HORRIBLE, TIENE ANIMALES EN LA ALFOMBRA Y COLCHÓN, NI POR NECESIDAD LO TOMEN COMO OPCIÓN
