The windows in this hotel were quite high, so this meant you could only see out from inside the bathroom, sort of strange.

There are areas where obvious repairs need to be made, the food and drink has slipped significantly, and it overall needs attention.

The hotel is run-down and poorly maintained.

infact the only thing that isn't superb is maintenance, as with pretty much any other aging hotel, it could be a bit more better kept.

Even in a king studio, space was tight.

The location is the best for NYU parents, but the room is smaller than it looks in the photos, so it is very inconvenient if you bring two suitcases.

You can smell the mildew buildup from the lack of ventilation, and in some areas you can see black in the corners of the caulking.

Poor ventilation in rooms so they do smell musty.
