Absolutely gross, the interior of this hotel reflects sheer neglect from top to bottom. Our sheets were dirty (multiple pubic hairs) as was the bathroom. I am fine with the tiny, barely equipped rooms but there is no excuse for the overall lack of upkeep in this building.

This hotel is a great location on the upper West Side. It was built as a dormitory for Columbia Univ. students in the 1920's, but was not used as such and was used as apartments for many years for artists and entertainers. It was converted to a hotel some years ago. It is down at the heels and needs a... More

The decor was poor and run down . It has scope to be a good hotel... needs to be spruced up. The staff at the reception were friendly. Rooms were cramped . Furniture/furnishing was tacky.Fine if it is a place to sleep only.

I felt some trepidation about booking two suites here for my family's weeklong visit to New York. There were seven of us, my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and three grandkids. But there was no way I could afford accommodations for this long hoped for trip to my old home town at any other establishment I could find on the internet. But... More

The location is very good, the park across the street charming, but the rooms are damp, stinky, and dirty. For $150 a night you should at least have clean towels and AC. Even the pillows and the mattresses stink because hundreds of guests before you sweated in the same cell. Don't expect to be able to buy coffee or water... More

Yes, the rooms are small and everything in them is rather old (eg when did you last watch a cathode ray TV?.)..nothing like those in an upmarket hotel, but I found mine to be clean, with a comfortable bed, a fridge and a microwave, enabling me to self cater. The rooms are serviced daily, though I did notice that a... More

For the value for money we weren't expecting the best but I would not even leave my catin this place. Nothing was clean, we didn't feel our possessions or ourselves were safe. Don't let the outside or surroundings fool you, inside it is old, smells dank and was filthy. I felt unclean just looking at the bedroom. I'm usually fairly... More
