U.S. Pacific Hotel in New York

Small room but clean. Toilets and shower facilities are shared. It's just a no frills hotel. Prices relatively cheap given its NYC. Obviously if I had the money to go elsewhere I would. This is just barely above hostel level but for the money is hard to argue with it.

You get what you pay for and this is one of the cheapest hotels I could find in Manhattan. This is not a hotel you book to hang out in your room or at a pool. You book it to have a place to sleep, shower, and store your stuff. Room is tiny, just barely fits the bed and a desk. Only had one suitcase which was good because if I had two it would have been very cramped. Bed was comfy enough and I didn't see any bugs. I could hear other patrons through the walls when in the hallway, but my room itself was quiet. No room service. Pack these items if you are going to stay here: WATER (no free drinking water, $1 cash per bottle at reception, ask for cold from the fridge) SHOWER SHOES WALL CHARGER (no USB ports) YOUR OWN SOAP (soap provided, but they are communal) A NIGHTLIGHT (the room lights are insanely bright and in such a small room it almost gave me a headache at night) Best thing about this place: a delicious and cheap Chinese bakery right across the street called 'New Kam Boat Bakery.' Great for a quick breakfast or a snack to save for later. I would book here again because it got the job done.

Realistically this place is good for us location and price, not so much anything else. The rooms are extremely small, no windows, and there's no personal toilet. Tying to use the restroom was almost always a hassle, as you must share with the rest of the guests. Generally speaking, it's located in a good spot and was the most affordable option.
