I love the UWS and was shocked to find a hotel in such a great price in the area. I stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was great. Bed was super comfy, tv had lots of channels, and the mini fridge and coffee maker were great additions to the room. Don't be mistaken, this hotel doesn't have as many cushy amenities as other hotels, but for the price and location you really can't beat it. Staff is friendly, hotel is clean, and it's a super quick walk to the subway. Stayed as a solo female and felt safe and comfortable during the entire stay. If you're looking for a hotel within a budget, in a great location, with a comfy bed and great staff this is the hotel to choose.
