My room overlooked the courtyard where staff talked loudly early in the morning, and the aircon made a loud screeching noise from 4 pm until I checked out the next day. This might not be ideal for those planning to stay up late at night, especially considering the similar prices for rooms in the area.

Despite the noise from the aircon and courtyard, the room was decently priced and comfortable.

The location is excellent, being near Central Park and Columbia University and within walking distance of the subway station. The proximity to these attractions is a definite plus, especially for the relatively low price of a two-bed room.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much provided for dining beyond basic options like a donut, orange, and tea or coffee. If you're looking for a communal dining experience, this may not be the place.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, close to Central Park and the subway, but the room was not what I expected, dark and industrial, with no cold water in the lobby. The service was a blend of helpfulness and rudeness, and the dining options were disappointing. However, the hotel's affordability and proximity to Central Park could be seen as positive points.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience with some pros like the convenient location near Central Park but also facing challenges such as the lack of an elevator to reach the rooms on the 5th floor. The atmosphere was generally pleasant due to the friendly service, but encountering issues with blackmail regarding luggage soured the stay.

The hotel is located on the fifth floor, close to Central Park, with ample plugs in the rooms for easy device charging.
