“Great Location & A Price You Can't Beat!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

If you are going to Madison Square Garden and need a place to stay for a night and don't want to pay $$$$, this hotel might work for you. The location is fantastic. Close to Time Square and restaurants. We drove in from PA and had no problems. Valeted our car and proceeded to go check in. Lobby nice and the front desk person was pleasant. He gave us some pointers on how to store our luggage the next day and to call about 30 minutes before we were ready to get our car.

After getting our key card it was time to go to our room. Elevators were quick and the hallways not bad. We were on the 15th floor so I can't say what the rest of the floors looked like. Opened the door to our room and I wasn't totally shocked. I had expected much worse. There was a bed that was pretty comfy, small refrigerator, an old TV that actually did work, a tiny little closet and a bathroom that was clean and pretty big for NY standards. The room smelled fresh and it was clean. Now the decor was old, but for the price and for the 7 hours we were actually going to be in it, we felt it was OK. The place was packed, but once in our room we didn't hear anyone on either side.

A few tips. They will store your luggage for $4 a bag, but you have to go to the front desk to pay and then take it down one level to the baggage storage area. Give yourself plenty of time because the lines at front desk could be long. We tried calling for our car a few times and no one answered. Keep trying or just go to bellman and have them call for you. Once they called, we got our car in about 20 min. You will pay when you get your car so have cash available.

Bottom line...for a night, not a bad deal. Don't expect luxury, be patient, don't complain about every little detail and remember you are there to have fun.

“Hotel ok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013 via mobile

We were in room 822 and was very happy after reading all the reviews. The furniture is a little bit dated but the room was clean, beds were comtable and sheets were changed daily. The staff were very helpful and location excellent. We would stay at this hotel again

“only location is worth!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

I arrived the night of my birthday. Nothing! I stayed there twice, first at the beginning of february and then 3 days in the middle of the month. This time the check in lasted one hour! all the american kennel club dogs were preferred to other guests!!!!! no special counter for passengers without pets! Room with old walls, old carpets, old bathroom with leaks, heat had to be asked for and when it started it was really noisy, old as it was.....
I payed an average price of 110 us plus tax, that´s not a gift, or is it?
the room service employees show up any time so it happens that I came back at 2 pm after leaving the room at 9 am, and it was still unmade.... the front desk staff is not friendly at all as if they don´t care if the client feels ok at the hotel.....the lobby is more a gallery than a lobby, the wifi costs 5 us 20 minutes and it belongs to an outsourcer provider, so nobody takes responsiblity of the failures, (I lost my money because the printer didn´t function) the local telephone connections are also charged.....the check-in is really late, at 3pm....the lady in the coffee store located at the end of the lobby was nice (although she´s not an hotel employee) called a bell boy to take my lugagge to a taxi when I left, and ....the list of inefficiency continues...
I was forced to overlook everything as I had prepaid my stay.....but ....no more!
Go only in case of extreme need!!!!!
P.S the matress of the bed was good!!!! Or New York so exciting I forgot all complaints!

Room Tip: ask what kind of convention is being held....because they have 18 floors, with people going the whol...

“awful!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

It's really expensive for the type of stay we had. Bring shower shoes because the shower is disgusting, there were fruit flies swarmind around and the water was barely luke warm. The paint is peeling and housekeeping kept trying to let her self in several time while we were sleeping. To top it all off the HUGE RAT that shared a room with us was a NEGATIVE.

“great location but no need for mould on walls!!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

we have just arrived home from a great 4 day trip to new york and this review is honest and with no bull as iv seen in past reviews of this hotel.i paid a low rate to stay in this hotel so i didnt expect much,the location is the best in town and everything is so close.lobby is very nice and check in was quick.when we got to the room i was shocked to see mould on the wall, this isnt right no matter what price we pay.it wouldnt take much to paint over any marks o the wall either.shower looked dated and dirty but done the job.window didnt but the tv worked.there is a great bar around the corner its called the blarney rock its great for food and drinks the owner is a top man and very friendly.all in all stay here and enjoy new york but accept old wore rooms and dodgy fittings,

Room Tip: ask for a room faceing empire buildings
