The hotel is located near the Empire State Building and is the only positive thing. Everything else is just awful. The walls of the rooms were shabby and dirty, it was impossible to cold. Sleep was not possible because noise in the room was like on the street. Would not come back ever, that's for sure! More

Stayed for a week in Feb 2012 with family; reason being my daughter's Vet school interviews, but an excuse for a New York trip anyway. Hotel did the job we needed: basic accommodation in a very central location (almost all major subway lines within one block, Penn station right across the street). Room was reasonably sized and not extortionate. Usual... More

The positives: The rooms on the upper floors are clean and a good size for New York. The housekeepers are nice and speak English. The negatives: The front desk staff is awful. No bell boys. No room service. No concerage. If you have a problem in your room, don't call, find someone from housekeeping, no one else will come. Overall... More

Dirty and unkempt. Dust everywhere, air con broken (front falling off) and cracked toilet seat. Decieving from the outside and reception. But central and easy access to everywhere either on foot or subway. Would we go back to that hotel - No. More

Spent eight nights in January 2012 and shared a room with a friend. We spent most of the time outside the room, so choosing a glamorous hotel would've been a waist of money. The furniture was a bit worn, but the room was clean. Walls are thin and you can hear some of the noise from the street (have ear... More

The lobby of this hotel is beautiful. But you will soon realize that is where the beauty ends. The whole building hasn't been renovated since who knows when. The walls are paper thin. The bathrooms are old, tiny, and drafty. The carpet looks like it was laid in the 60's. It's peeling back everywhere. The walls are scuffed, old, and... More

My friend booked this and I honestly say I will not return and I wouldnt have booked this hotel but we made the best we could of it. The first room was full of mould and cracked dealings. The bathroom taps looked like they were falling off so we asked to move before we started to unpack. We got moved... More

Having to travel to NYC frequently over the next few months for my daughter's college theater department auditions, finding an inexpensive place to stay in Manhattan that doesn't break the bank account was a challenge. I learned about this place but was very leary after reading reviews that included bed bugs, etc. I took a chance because of the good... More
