The 28th street and Broadway area is the most shithellbent area in new york city even the cops don't hang there, I guess the tourists can watch the African bootleg gangs (and friends) that reside there in the daytime shoot or stab each other for local turf....Cool! It's the neighborhood Bloomy the Mayor has not the nerve to visit and view ,The worst area of New York,period. When did the Breslin tenants ever try to go to a Community meeting about the crime here in the last 10 years.?? I guess this new hotel won't mind if you smoke or do drugs as long as you look OK and pay the bill.Ain't that what would fit in at "The Zouk"?

"Shared bathrooms"? In this location, you need a separate shower for the whore.

Doesn't look very comfy. I like the plush duvets and the fluffy pillows at the so-called boutique hotels. And in the third picture second section, don't they know that one is not allowed to burn candles in a hotel room. Imagine the insurance premiums.

I miss the good old days of the SROs and welfare hotels that were in this area.

I'm going to hold off on commenting about whether this hotel is actually "affordable," as the press release claims it is, until there's more information available, but my hunch is that in fact it is not. It should also be noted that a "standard room" in their Seattle hotel, $99/night (quite affordable, to be fair), has shared bathrooms. Personally, "cool amenities" like a refrigerator with local microbrews are nice, but not having to share a shower is nicer.

Looks ok ... I don't really get the turntable though.
