I stayed in this hotel in August 2013, and brought my cat with me. I was moving to the city and needed a place to camp out that would accept me and my cat. The staff was very accommodating for my cat. They cleaned the room each day (except for one day), and ensured that my cat didn't escape in the process. On the day they didn't clean, the housekeeping staff left a note explaining that the cat had become very agitated at the cleaning crew, so they left a note for me, with a set of fresh towels. Overall, not their fault, and they went above and beyond to write a note.

The rooms were reasonably sized, and the interior was modern and updated. The lobby staff wasn't very friendly, and that's sad -- I usually expect a little more from hotel front desk staff. The subway access here is great, it sits right on the 6, and is a quick walk to the E and M lines. Overall, this hotel is a great value for those who wish to stay in Manhattan, but not pay the highway robbery that occurs down in the Times Square area.

My only major qualm was the lack of free WiFi in the rooms -- you have to go down to the lobby to get FREE WiFi.
