The staff were super lovely and helpful, the welcome bbq was also a nice touch to get to interact with other hostel members. The location was also great, Central Park less than 10 minutes away, several metro stations and a nice shopping street with lots of food places just a block away. I personally didnt but there were also many activities you could sign up for with local guides showing you around or pub crawls, sometimes these had a slight cost but they were always very popular.

Out of all the hostels I stayed during my trip across America, this was my least favourite. There was no breakfast and you had to pay to leave bags after you checked out (unlike both Chicago & San Francisco HI). The lady who was also checking me out was very rude about the baggage storage/payment. The beds were also fairly uncomfortable and squeaked a lot. Other than that, it was a decent stay.
