The hotel is simple, the rooms are quite small, there apparently are no no-smoking rooms, so ours had that faint nicotine smell. However, the location is great, our room was quiet, and the air conditioning worked. Front desk personnel very nice, but few spoke English. It has that 1950's cheap NYC hotel feel to it - but no bugs, no drunk neighbors, and the rooms and public areas were clean, if a bit worn out. If you are just looking for a bed for the night while you tour the area, it is fine. If you want a luxury or romantic experience, forget it.
