You won’t exactly be dazzled by the hotel’s boxy exterior and—full disclosure—it doesn’t get any more wow-worthy on the inside. But this super homey 89-room, no-frills hotel was made for location and a small budget. The hotel is within walking distance of Madison Square Park and the subway, so while you won’t be Instagramming your non-existent breakfast in bed overlooking equally non-existent floor-to-ceiling windows, you will be out and about exploring Chelsea and NoMad, two of NYC’s hottest and trendiest neighborhoods du jour.
