Nice staff

Liked:- good central location - staff was nice - piece of history - art work everywhere

Disliked:- tiny dark rooms, not like the pictures at all - thin walls, windows are not soundproof at all, bring earplugs - no hot water in the shower at some times - more hostel vibe, NYC is expensive, but for the same price you can do better accommodation wise, but I would visit the bar here :)
