At first sight, this house doesn’t look any different from all the others on this quiet road. Upon entering, however, the guests are welcomed by smooth jazz music, which embodies what the hotel is all about. The impressive rooms offer a charming mix of faded splendour and loving restoration and all of the rooms are named after jazz stars or local Harlem heroes. The rooms include a washbasin but no TV, and the bathroom is on the hallway. The Flophouse is ideal for those on a budget wanting to experience more of New York than just Broadway and Manhattan.
