I just stayed here for 5 nights during the Republican Convention the week before Labor Day. Hotel was fine. Small, but clean and basic. Can't beat the price. location is near many things. Closest subway is at 34th and Penn Station which is about 4 blocks. general neighborhood is fine. Hotel is located on 36th between 9th and 10th. The 36th block between 7th and 8th made me a little nervous (being a younger woman in town alone), but walking down 34th and cutting across the 36th on 8th was fine I thought. Generally, I would plan to take cabs back to hotel if you are going to be out really late, but given the room price, you can afford lots of cabs :) I would stay again if I were looking for just a place to lay my head as I was this week. If I wanted to enjoy the HOTEL as part of my "vacation experience", I wouldn't stay here. Breakfast was fine - muffins, cold cereal, coffee, tea and apple or orange juice. As I said, the place was fine - I felt safe and it was clean.

It was a pretty good hotel. Everything was good there, good choice for breakfest. If you dont mind not having a few this is the best place to stay. I also stayed at the Crown Plazza where the price was like 300 bucks compaired to like 120, also the parking is cheaper here. It was overall a nice place to stay. I do reccomend it. It is not a five star hotel, but for the money I Recomend it!

Be very careful when booking your Comfort Inn hotel in Manhattan because there are three of them, not two as we thought, and this is the worst of the bunch. It is located down a deserted and menacing side street, you go down steps into it (the lobby if you can call it that) is effectively in a basement, the room we had was TINY and the a/c either froze you with a blast of cold air in your face or you had to leave it off altogether, and the view out of the window was a brick wall and the fire escape of the building opposite. We arrived at 11pm and had it been any earlier in the evening we would have been straight back out again. This place is more like a hostel than a hotel and it is only now we are home we realised there are actually three Comfort Inns in Manhattan and we had researched only two of them, and thought we had booked for one of those two, ie the Midtown and the Manhattan. This hotel will ruin your experience of NY, do not go there, save up for something better.

My two girfriends and I just came back from New York City after staying for 3 nights in the Comfort Inn, New York. I have to agree with most of the other reviews that I read here on trip advisor and say that yes, this is a very nice and clean and comfortable hotel. For the money that we paid it was great value- we paid $116us per night plus taxes. We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice little hotel- very small and quiet but quite comfortable. The rooms are not large of course nor did we expect them to be for a New York City budget hotel, but we did find that they were quite nice-very clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is a good, generous size and also very clean.
The location is actually very good, as it is a 5 minute walk to the major areas and attractions-like Macy's-the Empire State Bldg and Times Square, Penn Station etc are not far from here. The hotel is situated on 36th and 10th avenue in a slightly seedy looking side street ,which is okay when you are walking back to the hotel in the day time but at night you may want to do what we did which was to walk along 34th (which always has people and stores and lights) until you get to 9th avenue, turn go along 9th to 36th and down 36th to 10th and the hotel is right there.
The breakfast (7-10am) that is included with the price of your room is good- they offer tea, coffee, juice, mini muffins, donuts, bagels, toast/w/jam and cereal. The tea and coffee and juice is available all day long. When we got back to the hotel from shopping and sightseeing it was nice to grab a cup of something to take back to our room. All in all, I would have to say that I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are like most middle class travellers and are travelling on a budget and want good value for your money. If you are looking for luxury then this place is not for you. New York City is amazing-great food shopping and sightseeing- I can't wait to go back again.
