This place has let itself go. My parents used to stay here 10 years ago when I lived nearby. Back then it was a quaint boutique hotel. Now, it’s rundown. Dirty carpets, stained upholstery, creaky beds, dirty AC, no Wi-Fi in my room, scratched furniture. The rooms have always been small, even by NY standards. There are No simple amenities in room (coffee maker, fridge, microwave.).
Convenient location for UES. Friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom relatively clean.
