“Affordable hotel - Convenient Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

My family of four stayed one night here during a weekend trip to Radio City. As everyone else has stated, the rooms are small! With a family of four we literally had to move out of each others way to make it around the beds to bathroom. Obviously this wasnt the best situation, but the kids and my wife took in stride. We were there to spend time out in the city, not in the room anyhow.

The room itself was clean,not the quietest, but it really wasnt a problem for one night. We did have the complemtary breakfast which was welcome, but not what I would expect from this hotel either.

One issue did occur. My wife (being pregnant at the time) requested more pillows to better support herself at night. After two calls, no one ever delivered the pillows. We were able to get by, but obviously the staff is not responsive to the customers in this respect.

Check in was pleasant and we were able to check in our baggage early and leave it for pick up after check out to match our travel schedule.

“Clean & Small Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

My sister, Mom & I stayed in this hotel this past weekend for a weekend trip to NYC. We found this hotel to be in an excellent area. Walking distance to all the major hot spots (Time Square, Radio City etc.). It was a small hotel with small rooms but considering you don't usually spend too much time in your hotel when you're in NYC, it did the job!

We had free breakfast that was pretty good considering most breakfasts only include cereal and pastries. This one included eggs, bacon etc.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)!

Room Tip: We stayed on the 21st floor which was pretty nice and quiet because it was far off the street :)

“THIS IS IT!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

Folks, if you're in for a visit to NYC look no more for a hotel!!! A great (fantastic) location. The hotel is very clean and the hotel service is the best. My wife and I were there for a 3 night stay and it was a great experience. The only negative is the size of the breakfast area. But, hey get yourself a tray and take breakfast up to your room. No big deal!!! The front staff of Denis and Brandon were most pleasant and helpful. Call them up and they will make arrangements for a car to meet you at the airport and they will make reservations for a return trip to the airport. It is a short 10 minute walk to the Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center or to Times Square. Only a few steps to 5th Ave or may be 5 minutes walk to the Bryant Park subway stop. If you want a great place to stay at VERY GOOD NYC hotel prices then this is the place.

Room Tip: Get a room in the rear if possible away from the street much quieter.

“Good choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

This is a good choice for a one night stay. The rooms are small, but serve the purpose. They were clean and without any disruptive noise. Also I have to say nice shower too. The lobby is small and narrow with nothing special but really, does that matter? For the city, it is clean, good location and reasonable.

“Good budget option in NYC”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

This was my third stay at the W 45th St Holiday Inn Express in the last few years. First I should say that I love NYC so am happy with anything that is safe and clean in a central location, as I spend little time in my hotel. This is a very good place to stay if you are looking for all of that but are on a budget.
The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Rockefeller Center, Times Square, 5th Ave shops, Broadway, and Grand Central Station. Even Central Park is not far away. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although they are also small. I have traveled alone each time, so the size has not been a big issue for me, although each time I have entered with my suitcase I have had to step into the bathroom in order to close the room door. The wardrobe is extremely small with room only for a few hang-up items. This last trip my room was on the back side so was very quiet as well. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The wi-fi worked very well.
I would recommend this hotel if you are watching your expenses but want a decent, clean hotel in an excellent location.

Room Tip: The last trip I was on the 3rd floor away from the street. This was a good location. The floor was...
