The hotel is conveniently located near Lower Manhattan, offering clean rooms with small but adequate space. The staff is pleasant and helpful. However, the rooms are very outdated and lack privacy due to gaps between the doors and walls.

My stay at the hotel was overall satisfactory. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the view from the tiny window facing a dark alley was disappointing.

The dining options were limited, providing only basic breakfast items. The facilities were decent but could be improved in terms of space.

The hotel is right in Little Korea, offering a quiet stay with very little street noise and cleanliness expected for New York. As a family of four, we found the rooms accommodating, though some areas needed updating. The service was friendly and helpful, even though check-in took a bit longer. The location is convenient, being close to the subway, Macy's, and restaurants, making it a bright spot served well by public transport. However, the dining experience was a big disappointment, and facilities could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was very comfortable and actually larger than expected, especially considering the price. However, I did receive a room with 2 single beds instead of the queen bed I reserved. The service was fantastic, with a cozy lounge and the doorman being particularly helpful and professional. The location was ideal for exploring NYC, just off Greely Square and facing Macy's, making it easy to walk to popular spots like Times Square, Madison Square Garden, and the Empire State Building. The hotel's location near Broadway and the subway was very convenient. Despite these positives, the hotel did come at a high cost for what it offered.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and nice, but they were a bit tiny and stuffy. The service was wonderfully accommodating, although some of the staff were not as friendly. The location was good for visiting the Empire State Building and accessing the subway, but the close proximity of the next-door building was a bit intrusive. The dining experience had its perks, with unlimited continental breakfast, but the area felt a bit cramped. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was small and a bit noisy at the front of the building, but considering the location, it was reasonable. The temperature was a bit too high for my liking, and cleanliness could have been better. The service, however, was top-notch with helpful and always smiling staff. The location was perfect for walkers like me, close to many attractions but the elevator might need an update. The dining was so-so, and even after addressing the issues, it wasn't worth the price.
