I think this hotel is okay for the first time, but I wouldn't stay there again.

Positives: I had a great time with my boyfriend.

Negatives: It smelled like trash and was a bit dirty.

The staff were excellent. They were friendly and courteous helping with what they could. They could not give much in the way of tourist info. The parking lot had cameras going which made me feel more safe, but the area was sketchy at night. It seemed like some renovations were being done, so there were limited guests. Many people were there with their families as was I. Overall, it was a good place to stay if just looking for a comfortable place to stay inexpensively.

Positives: Convenient location to subway.

Negatives: Felt area cold be potentially dangerous.

For a place to sleep and nothing more, I would recommend this motel. It was clean and close to where I needed to be.

Positives: It was inexpensive for Ney York and was quite accessible.

Negatives: The carpeting was threadbare and the place was small.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Jan 2011 rated 6 out of 10.

The price was right for a weekend in the city but I wouldn't stay in the area with small children and everything looked like it needed repairs.

Positives: Spacious room, next to a train station, continental breakfast, air condition/heat.

Negatives: Shady, not much lighting, no refrigerator.

This hotel is not for the faint of heart. If all you need is a place to sleep for a night or two then you're fine. But don't forget to lower your expectation at the front door.

Positives: Its proximity to where i was going.

Negatives: Its location beside the above ground subway line.

Negatives: I liked everything about the people was very friendly.

Positives: Quick and efficient dealings with the staff.

Negatives: Located right next to the train.

Under subway, get to town, very dangerous place to stay. We got no made service, carpet was damp, bad place.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: No maid service.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Jun 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

For the money it worked well. It can be noisy. The hallways are noisy and the elevated train is located next to the window.

Positives: Close to Fordham University.

Negatives: The Subway above ground passes very close to the window and it is noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 May 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

We did not have any sleep or privacy. The phone was ringing, and no one we knew had the phone number to our room. The subway ran above our room all night long. This was not a pleasant stay and we are filing a complaint about the hotel!

Positives: The staff helped to explain the subway system.

Negatives: The hotel was in a not so nice area underneath the subway tracks!

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Apr 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

Inexpensive and comfortable but not in the nicest part of town.

Positives: It had a comfortable bed and was clean. And despite being located by the train, it was quiet.

Negatives: It was located in a really bad part of town.

Negatives: The comforter in my room looked like they needed to be washed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 24 Apr 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Best price found on internet in that area. Met my hygienic expectations however staff was not very friendly nor welcoming. It was a bit noisy throughout the night but nothing I couldn't handle.

Positives: I was pleased about cleanliness.

Negatives: Hospitality wasn't all that great. Not even a smile.

Pick another hotel unless you are familiar with nay and the inner city.

Positives: The rate.

Negatives: Location and staff.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 12 Nov 2006 rated 5 out of 10.

Come prepared with ear plugs. It was clean and the staff was accommodating. I had left something in the room after my first visit and I knew I was coming back in a few days so I called them and when I returned the item I had left in my room was waiting for me.

Positives: Price was good for a NYC hotel near where I needed to be.

Negatives: The subway line runs in front of the hotel which makes it nosier than most.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 18 Oct 2006 rated 1 out of 10.

Train tracks above my head, itch pillows (eyes swollen), worst service ever, smelled like pot smoke, window at level where people could jump in window from outside. Located in the worst part of the Bronx. That's all I can type now but it was the worst experience ever.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Where do I start? Horrible!

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 17 Oct 2006 rated 10 out of 10.
