“Felt Like Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

My daughter and I were looking for apartments in NYC traveling all over town from morning to night. As two females, we felt very happy,comfortable and safe coming back to the Verve each night. The room was a good size and always clean. We enjoyed breakfast each morning, especially the mini vegetable omelets. The staff was a big part of why we felt so comfortable staying there. They were friendly and extremely helpful. We were so pleased that we found this place and liked having the parking garage rather than dealing with on-street parking. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Verve!

“The Verve continues to offer excellent accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

This is a great hotel for travellers to New York. Access from JFK and LGA is easy and relatively cheap; several subway lines are available within a 5-7 minute walk. The staff are first rate, from the cheerful breakfast room staff, through cleaning staff to those who work at reception; nothing is too much trouble. In the 4 years that I've been coming here there has been very little turn over of staff and that suggests to me that it must be a good place to work. Not a single staff member was ever anything less than good-humoured, polite and helpful. The rooms are quite spacious compared with comparable Manhattan hotels, cleaned well each day and with very good amenities. This is not a Ritz or a Plaza - it's a friendly, comfortable home away from home, where everyone works hard to give guests a good stay. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: If you're in New York, it isn't to spend time in a hotel room, but there are some great view...

“nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Had a pleasant stay at the Verve Hotel. The hotel is in a good location...only a few blocks from the subway and only about a 5-10 minute train ride into the city. They have a parking garage below the hotel. Be warned that if you are driving an SUV it is a tight fit. Ours fit, but it was tricky to maneuver it around. The rooms were nice...our room was on the first floor, which I found a little odd. I didn't realize they had guest rooms on the first floor. There wasn't a lot of noise from the street though. The free breakfast was good too. I'd stay here again the next time I'm in town.

“So disappointing!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

We booked a suite to be able to have the family join us for gatherings but the carpet was so dirty & the carpet so stained that I didn't want to take my shoes off or sit down, much less have anyone else in the room. The sheets were thin, gray & felt grainy so where the towels. The whole room felt dirty.

Dear thefhouse,

First and foremost thank you for selecting the Verve Hotel to be your host in NYC. Our ultra-spacious King Suites are ideal for luxurious business or tourist travelers alike. After a detailed investigation, it was noted that you were trying to have 9 members of your family/friend occupy one room. Verve staff is trained to focus and produce a customer oriented setting were we bend backwards to please each and every one of our guests. But having 9 people occupy one room violates the NYS Occupancy Law. As inconvenient as this may sound it is for your protection as well as our other guests. In regards to your negative comments about our cleanliness it is evident that they were falsely accused since your party of 9 were not welcomed to occupy a single room for the night. Furthermore, Verve has a manager on duty 24 hours, if the room was not perfect it would have been effective for you to contact the Front Desk immediately and the Manager would have switched your room immediately. Verve Hotel caters to all sorts of travelers but NOT party groups since they tend to be loud and disrupt the other guests comfort. We did offer a solution of reserving another room at a discount allowing you to spread the group. Verve Hotel has an outstanding rating for cleanliness from all of our guests as you can see with an approval rating of 97% on Trip Advisor. We are the #1 Hotel in Queens and surpass all others in reviews and excellent comments by a unanimous margin. I hope in the near future you will give us another opportunity to serve you for a different occasion than what was planned. Please feel free to contact me and we can work together for making your next trip to NYC an excellent experience.

Thank you,
Yash - Manager

“Wonderfull”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We got to the hotel very early in the morning after a long 12 hours flight. My wife is pretty sick from the flight and needed a good rest. The hotel manager noticed it and managed to get us a room in about 9:30 am!!! We were really grateful for that. Other than that, the hotel has a nice view to Manhattan and you have a subway station very close (about 5 minutes walk) that brings you to times square in about 10 minutes. The room was nice and clean and the breakfast was pretty good too.
