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 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.
