Great!!
10.0Near by 5th ave. Was able to walk to Central Park. Relatively safe, I was walking at night alone comfortably. Smooth check in and check out process.
Nothing, just be aware that if you're a light sleeper there is lots of noise.

Cleanliness, location
No amenities in building, too pricey for a small room, it feels like a pod should be cheap but practical not as expensive as a normal sized room
