The Stanford is clean and convenient to the 34 - Herald Square Subway station, which took us everywhere we wanted to go. Located in Koreatown, there was an abundance of great restaurants, bakeries, tea shop, etc, as well as lots of shops in walking distance.
The room was small but clean, and since we just needed a bed and shower, that was fine. I was surprised how quiet the room was considering we were on a busy street. Our room had an issue with hot water where we needed to run the sink and the shower to get hot water, which was a bit inconvenient and seemingly wasteful of water. For as old as the building probably is, it's in excellent repair for the most part. Our bathroom did have a vague sewer smell that would appear but we kept the door closed as we couldn't pinpoint the origin. There are hand towels and body towels but no washcloths. We travel with our own bath puffs, so that wasn't a big deal.
The wifi would cut out and the staff wouldn't be aware of the issue or have a solution/or when it would be fixed, but, technology can be fickle.
The free breakfast was good to get your day started to walk to a restaurant for breakfast - bagels, toast w/condiments, yogurt, bananas, apples, but also salad, hot Vienna sausages and mashed potatoes? Coffee was from a Keurig and there was also tea available. Again, K cups are not very green, but they do allow for variety for guests.
I would stay here again.
