This Hotel needs major cleaning and refreshing.
We checked-in and immediately checked out. This location did not meet expectations for cleanliness or facility operations.

Good basic hotel at a decent price near Columbia University. At least two great restaurants (Ethiopian and Spanish) within a five-minute walk and good selection of snacks and breakfast foods at the hotel store. I was REALLY impressed with how quiet the room was. Great staff -- everyone was friendly and helpful.
