Great location in chinatown! But also, horrible location by the manhattan bridge. No way you could have the windows open, and even if closed windows removed most of the noise, the whole house shook every minute. Very friendly and helpful staff. I wasn't very impressed by the security, though. Front door was open any time we arrived in the evening, and the elevator just went past the reception on 2nd floor and to the corridors/rooms. Probably there were camera monitoring, but it felt a bit odd compared to all other hotels and hostels I have stayed in when in NYC.
