Those are some awesome reviews.

If you just want a room where you will spend most of your time outside, you may want to consider the Pod hotels, Pod 39 and Pod 51. Small rooms and the cheaper ones have a shared bathroom. But if you are OK with that they are well reviewed hotels. This will be the best price you will find in Midtown without going to a full hostel.

Now, I get that thats not exactly a brilliant review but in fairness that guy is barely literate.

This is probably where the Tranks, Lobos, and Zipheads stay.

Honestly, they aren't that much smaller than many other hotel rooms in NYC advertised as regular rooms. I stayed in a tiny room while I was there. Was totally fine. Cleanliness is the far bigger worry in a place like NYC.
