    Relatively unknown walkup hostelry over a bar, with small rooms and largish prices. Excellently located on the UWS, but otherwise, not special. Corner of 76th and Amsterdam. Europeans and other money savers come here.

    UPDATE: May 2008: a alrge luixury bldg is going up around (literally) this bldg.

    I was just looking for somewhere laid-back to kill some time, drink a cold beer and have a snack but man, was this the wrong place.

    The bar was completely empty and I sit down at one of the dozens of empty tables made for four which are by the window.

    Five minutes later a waitress with an attitude comes over and says: "yes?"

    "oh, I just want to grab some food," I say.

    "how many?"

    "just one," I say.

    "you can't sit here," she scowls as I look out at the dozens of empty windows. "Go by the window if you want." And points to a table in a dank corner.

    Uhh... I'd definitely had done it if she had asked with some grace and hospitality but with her attitude I said "No thanks" and  snuck out when she went to grab a menu.

    Instead I got full (and drunk) at the chipotle down the street.

    I've stayed at this place a number of times - mainly for the price.  About $120 a night is a deal in the upper west side.  The rooms are o.k. - not the cleanest.  I've experienced a room with a private bath as well as shared bath.  The bathrooms are not cleaned frequently enough.  There seems to be a plethora of individuals living in the hotel and from their rooms wafts the smell of cigarette smoke and the sounds of blaring tv's.  It's not terrible if you need a short stay for a cheap price.

    This place should remain unknown. Their receptionist, Elena, is ridiculously rude telling a friend of mine that they would ONLY rent to foreigners. When my friend suggested this was discrimination she suggested he get off the phone or she would "call the cops." I would avoid this flea trap at all costs.  Based on other review, I guess you have to have an attitude to work there.  This place gets a big fat ZERO -- if I could rate less than zero, I would.
