The Hotel 91

A bed & a bathroom

On this trip I just needed a bed to sleep on, and a shower & toilet to use, and Hotel 91 definitely met those needs. While not the fanciest of places, or the most elegant decor, but the staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed was quite comfortable, and the plumbing was all in good working order. The room and public areas were all clean, too.

The hot water took a little long to get hot, but I also blame that on the weather - had it not been ~5 - 10 degrees outside, I wouldn't have been as desperate for a properly hot shower. The room door also felt a bit flimsy, but it kept the sound and cold out so that's more of a "feeling" thing than an actual complaint.

The value for the money

Kinda in a depressed area

Good value for a clean comfortable place to rechar

Clean beds and updated bathrooms for an great price. Hotel 91 is less than 5 minutes from a subway station (and be sure to get coffee at the "12 corners" coffee shop on the way.) All in all, Hotel 91 was exactly what we needed: an inexpensive but comfortable place to recharge as we explored NYC.

The neighborhood is not very central, so it is ideal if you are looking to have a place to sleep and leave your bags as you are visiting the city. Don't plan to come back to your room and change before dinner, though.

The best thing I liked about my stay was the comfort of the room.The beds were very nice. It was also roomy for the price. I've stayed in higher priced hotels with much less space. Having a taxi service available to the airport was convenient.

Can't think of anything

I was a bit concerned about the reviews regarding the outside noise. Although there is some noise from the train, it didn't bother me and I slept quite well.

Hotel was always clean, staff were very helpful (changing $10 into 10 x $1 bills on first night for vending machine; booking taxis, arranging late check out)

Lighting in room was adequate at best - two light switches but only one light, one had been removed? Vending machines weren't consistent, some would only accept 25c coins at times, then only accept $1 bills... Lack of safe in hotel room or reception area
