The Hotel is very well located, near a couple of subway entrances. The room was larger than expected for the price.I was able to do an early check in but not a late check out. Would definitely stay there again.

I chose this hotel primarily for its price but more importantly for its location on E48 between Lexington and 3rd. Just three blocks from 5th ave and there are some great restaurants and shopping within walking distance. I have stayed in hotels in the neighborhood; The Waldorf, Barclay Intercontinental., the Benjamin and this is by far the best value. I... More

After reading other good reviews, I was disappointed with this hotel. The location was a long distance from the bus station to the hotel; which was not easy to find. We walked into the tiny lobby only to be greeted by hotel staff that seemed to guard the elevator; though the staff was pleasant enough. Our room was spacious but... More

Only 15 minutes walk from Time Square and 10 minutes from Rockefeller Centre this hotel couldn't be better placed with good taxi and subway connections. The is a budget hotel and travellers should not expect it to be the Waldorf or Claridges, it is what it is cheap and cheerful. The rooms are large and clean. The decoration is tired... More

I stayed overnight with my boyfriend and another couple. We were just looking to get away for a short trip without paying too much. The hotel is only a few blocks from Times Square. It is an older hotel, but it is clean and all of the staff was very nice. We did have a stain in the carpet in... More

Brilliant place. People couldn't have been nicer, especially when they put me on about 32nd floor and I don't use lifts!!!

Older hotel with large, clean room. Street noises were not a problem at night. Small lobby that made the breakfast service crowded and inconvenient. Convenient location made it easy to walk to most of the sights we wanted to see. Very helpful and friendly doorman and reception clerk. Problems with final bill were addressed and fixed by manager.

I stayed there with my wife and my son of 14 years. It was great, the people there try to understand you and to help you if they can. The location is excellent, it is very clean. There is one problem about the breakfast. It´s not fine. But the rest of the things are great.
