I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom for 5 nights. I was on the top floor and had a corner room. The room is small but it was perfect. Enough room to store your bag, a sink, a safe and space to hang clothes up. There was a small desk area and a TV too. There was an air conditioner that worked really well. Yeah rooftop area was really nice, I would buy food and go sit up there to eat in the evening. The shared bathrooms were a bit different than the photos, however I was out and about for most of the day so didn’t use them too much. Shower was good and there was body wash and shampoo and conditioner in there. There were only two shared bathrooms on my floor so sometimes had to wait a long time in the morning to use them. Two lights above your door indicate if the bathrooms are occupied - I thought this was a good idea and saved you walking up and down the hallway to check. The hallway and bathrooms were cleaned regularly. The location was awesome, a number of subway stations within 5 mins walk, lots of food, pharmacies etc. I pretty much walked everywhere. Easy walk to Fifth Ave, St Pats Cathedral, Times Square, Grand Central. I will definitely be staying here again!
