Needs much better cleaning crew. Shower had hair on the tile. Floors were dusty. Wall in bathroom had stains...also it is noisy at night but thats NY. Location is good. For the price is ok if you can live with dirty. Also the entrance door to.the hotel does not lock by itself and it is left unlocked ...
