Great location, nice price, cool staff. We traveled for vacation and had a double room with single bed. The room was as new and the shared bathroom was only a few feets away. Nice and clean bathroom. Staff very nice and helpful, thank you Kennedy and the others. We hope you're doing well after Sandy on october 29th.

Sheets were dirty and we had to change them by ourselves... The guy at reception did not apologize... Really shocking!! We were cold in our room and again we were told serveral times that something would be done about it but it took them 4 days to actually do something. I would absolutely not recommand this hotel!!!

I was so sorry to read about your experience at the Seton Hotel. Dirty sheets and cold rooms are not the norm here. I would appreciate some more information in order to get to the bottom of the problem and fix it. The date(s) of stay and room #/room type would be helpful. Any information that you would be willing... More

Seton hotel offers a great location for a good price. We had a double room with shared bathroom. Most hotels in the same area are much more expensive. Although Seton hotel does not offer breakfast there is no problem as there are at least two Starbucks and other coffeebars around the corner. Also staff is really helpful. I recommend this... More

Stay for a couple of days, one single room in four floor, recently refurbished. The room was clean and the service good, the down side is that the bathroom is not private. Great choice for a business travel or a tourist on a budget. Near Central station and many places uptown.

I was pleased to see that you loved our location and got great value. In addition to our shared bathroom rooms 75% of our rooms do have bathrooms en suite and are priced accordingly. If you need a room with a private bathroom we would be happy to provide that too. More

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Kennedy at the front desk was super helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The hotel itself was very nice. It was clean and quaint. Unlike most other large hotels in the city this hotel was small and personable. I enjoyed the room itself also, it was a decent size for NYC... More

You get what you pay for. On arrival we were given a grim room on 6th floor. We asked for a change and were then offered a refurbished room on 2nd floor, much nicer. If you need extras, just ask. Night staff not most obliging, day staff much friendlier

We stayed here for three nights in a standard double room with a private bathroom. Although the room was of average size, it provided everything that we needed considering we spent all day out sightseeing. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were very clean and in excellent condition. We found the hotel to be in the perfect location... More

This was the most disappointed we have ever been with a hotel in New York. The trip was to be a special events for friends traveling from Eastern Canada . The Seton's pictures and statements that the remodeling is complete are totally inaccurate and misleading. Upon arrival and viewing our room I went back down to express our disappointment with...

We were sorry to read about how dissapointed you were with your stay at the Seton Hotel. As you stated you booked a "basic room" and that is what you paid for and what you got. The room had been freshly painted with new beds and bedding and a flat screen TV. (we refer to it as a mini-renovation while... More
