Independent, 2 star Hotels in New York

Rooms were basic but clean. Everything was exactly as promised. As a single woman traveling alone, I was a bit concerned about safety but always felt completely comfortable in this neighborhood. Enjoyed chatting with Michael. Yes, the subway ride in and out of midtown was about 25 minutes, but it was easy and part of the New York adventure. I'll return here next time I'm in town.

Me and my family enjoyed the "Guest House" for the holiday's, the staff were very helpful and kind I was unaware they the didn't accept babies in their building but they still accepted us. The rooms were warm and cozy. I enjoyed the freedom to cook and how nicely the kitchen was clean. Don't forget your shower sleepers allot people in and out the bathroom

Was very skeptical. It is New York after all. This place was the cleanest one I have ever seen. Even though the showers were shared, I still felt comfortable enough to use them. The late night check-in guy was also incredibly helpful and friendly. Great stay overall.

Met some wonderful fellow travelers. Felt comfortable with roomates. Felt secure. Good hot water for shower.

This hotel was VERY affordable. I felt safe and the shared bathrooms were always clean with no waiting to get in. I highly recommend this gem.

My father and I shared a double bedroom and it was a little tight as far as space (I also had a lot of luggage, mind you, as I was moving to France at the time and NYC was a stop along the way) but never uncomfortable. The room itself had charm with neat buit-ins and lighting. Everything, room and bathroom, was very clean! I also hardly ever saw anyone use them (there are two per floor). The front desk is helpful and the hotel is located in a great spot next to restaurants (you'll have to walk a few blocks) and the subway. We walked to time square from the hotel and while it's not exactly close it wasn't a difficult trip either. The only con I would say is that our window view was of a concrete wall of the next building and natural light could never find it's way down to us on the third floor. Overall, I definitely would recommend this place, clean, well located, and cheap!

If you like funky old world charm with a European flare you'll love the Jane. I think Wes Anderson must of stayed here before he made the Grand Budapest Hotel. Great location, excellent restaurant an overall lovely experience.

The hotel is very conveniently located just a block off Lexington Ave. in the Murray Hills area of Manhattan.The staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. They were very knowledgeable about dining options in the area and how to get to wherever we wanted to go. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well taken care of!

I was sick the last day of our stay and the staff was nice enough to let us stay in our room a few extra hours so I could rest. They also called a cab for us to the airport. They treated us as we were the only ones staying there.

This hotel is a nice place to stay for a great price in New York City. It is located right next to the red line subway which can get you downtown or uptown pretty quicklY. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. I would definitely Recommend.
