ROW NYC
"A good price for the location which is on the same street at the Train Station making for a convenient walk. Room was a bit older and drab but clean and quite at night. I do which the room had a refridgerator. The lobby has ample seating and a place to grab a quick breakfast."

"Despite being a small room, it was cleverly appointed and had everything we needed including a great view. It’s location in Midtown meant that we could walk pretty much everywhere. I would definitely stay here again."
