The room was small. I really struggled to open my suitcase without bumping into something. the bathroom lacked privacy. The door was just glass, and sound carried easily, awkward.

Excellent Location and Service

My room, a Twin Pod, was very clean. The staff was cute and answered my questions helpfully. The hotel is near Grand Central, so the subway was easy to reach (it definitely simplified my commute).
The room ventilation system made some noise.

The location is superb, with Grand Central Terminal only a short walk away. This provides straightforward access to various subway lines, simplifying travel throughout the city. I easily reached many key attractions.

the room was uncomfortably cold. the lower bunk bed creaked significantly during any movement. i would have appreciated having two chairs in the room, as there was only one. the price was not justified, especially considering the room size and lack of amenities.
