I took advantage of the rough draft special at Ink 48- 48% off normal rates. Note to those reading: the normal rates are incredibly high for a hotel located in a neighborhood of car dealerships (but relatively close to times square). I booked a junior suite and was housed on the 11th floor in an amazing gorgeous room. Note that... more

The hotel is located a little out of the way (48th St/11th Ave), however this is only a 10-15 minute walk to Times Square so you are certainly not miles away from the action. At present there is still building work going on and the outside has some scaffolding around it. The restaurant is not open and parts of the... more

As for many of the other reviews here, I stayed at INK 48 mainly for the great rate. I stayed for 5 nights and had a great time! I think that most people that have said that the hotel was out of the way..and this & that..need to research more of the area and NYC before booking there hotels. You... more

Wife and I stayed for 12 nights from Oct 7th onward, taking advantage of a very generous discount rate. Cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the accommodation, the excellent continental breakfast (free), the very welcome Happy Hour (free), and the friendly staff who tried so hard to meet everyone's expectations. Sure there were a few issues, mostly very... more

I chose this venue for a last minute leisure trip because I like Kimpton Hotels in general and they were offering heavily discounted rates online. I did read the website in detail about some of the current work in process services and gave the hotel credit for being upfront about this. I booked a "City View" room which was supposed... more

just superb, new, spacious, wonderfully located, incredible staff, from management to bell desk and valet. they're still finishing the upper floors/deck, but keep disruption to a virtually unnoticeable minimum. even the construction guys you occasionally bump into in the elevator are nice! hard to imagine how even nicer it will be when the facilities/deck open on the top floor, and... more

Just spent a night at the ink48 Kimpton hotel in NYC. I had to wait for a clean room for over 1.5 hrs in the lobby (even though it was past the normal check in time). The front desk was abrupt and not very hospitable. I have no complaints of the very stylish rooms. The suite I was checked into... more

The potential of this hotel is very nice but if you are staying there in the coming months, be aware that it is still very much a work-in-progress. On the plus side, it is very nicely designed, beautiful, and very clean. As people have mentioned, the rooms are spacious and the bathroom is large. The windows are well insulated and... more

When I have spent a three day trip in NY early November 09 I flew in JFK very early in the morning and my plan was to jump on to circle line boots tour at 10.00 to have a NY must-do; the Circle line tour. When I arrived at 9.00 in the hotel certainly I couldn´t check in but was... more

My husband and I stayed at INK48 for 7 nights (10/27-11/2) because of their soft opening rates, and were amazed at how helpful and accommodating the staff was to us. Our first room (12th floor) was bright (King deluxe), but when we could hear every word of our next-door neighbor's cellphone conversations, we were given a different room. We were... more
