Funny old hotel. The lobby is as crowded as a shopping mall. This is accommodation factory. Big basic rooms, but everything seems very old. Superb location.
A little disappointing that there is no wi-fi, but Starbucks is right across the street.

It felt creepy. Air didn't work. Needed to switch rooms because the one I first checked into had an unmaid bed AND used towels. Spring for the few extra bucks and stay someplace better. Good location -- but that is the only good thing about this hotel. My 93 year old grandmother stayed here on her wedding night and I don't think they EVER updated!

Arrived in New York hoping for the Pennsylvania hotel to be atleast basic .The lobby was quite nice but once we got out of the elevator on level 3 the hallway have dirty carpets and horrible smells. The doors to our room looked horrible like submarine doors, we stayed at room 359 and once we opened the door we looked around and it was something that you would think twice about putting the dog in.

This is supposed to be a historic hotel. It probably is, but they forgot historic hotels can be renovated. The rooms are big. They could easily fit 5 by NYC standards. Our room windows allowed some cold wind through and the heater would not heat. The doors are an attraction on themselves: they tried to fit "modern" card-based locks but the old doors have strange shapes and they do not fit well together, making it difficult to open or close the doors.

The hotel is well located, just across the street from NY Penn Station, which is convenient for public transportation, shopping (Macy's) and some dining (specially Koreatown, a couple of blocks away).

One thing that we noticed is that there seems to be a constant line for the reception desk. So expect some waiting while arriving.
