The location was excellent and convenient to everything. We needed a place to sleep 6 and the room was a good size. The beds were comfortable and the decor was really cute. The staff was very accommodating in building our luggage there for free. There is a little street noise, but that is to be expected given its location.

The room smelled like ethnic food but not in a good way. It seemed fairly clean but the bedding had some small stains on it. It was bare bones: no tissues, no shampoo or soap samples. It was pretty noisy with doors slamming at all hours. The room looked much bigger in pictures. It was acceptable but disappointing.

Friendly staff. Great communication and location- right off 34th street which has so many subway trains and also close to Penn Station if you take the NJ railroad in like we did. Good price for midtown manhattan (booked a year early). Loved that there was a security guard in the lobby. Good water pressure. Good temp in room with AC unit in late October but not sure how it would fare in summer. We were able to leave luggage for a few hours for free at the office during day which was nice. Cons: beds were super creaky and noisy. Not super comfortable. Toilet paper was super thin and cheap. Towels were old. Tv was too small for the room.

It was good. The only problem we have was opening the doorknob, we had to ask next door for help in opening it for the past two days. Overall, the area is nearby attraction and its okay for short term vacay.

Great Room

The room was perfect for the New York trip I took with my wife. It was not the most glamorous, but it had everything we needed. Having a small kitchen was a bonus, it allowed us to save money by cooking dinner instead of going out.

There were shops nearby with a wide variety of items. For an older hotel it was very clean and well kept. The staff provided clear direction and areas to go for interest and shopping. They were able to answer all of our request. My family loved that there was a lot of space in our room for movement and a lot of finishing touches like small plants and great views from all windows. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was not as described, it’s very small, very dirty and poorly run. I can’t believe Expedia allow this hotel to be on their website. I also can’t believe that anyone has given this hotel 10 out of 10, in my opinion the reviews are made up.
2 days, from 7.30 am workmen working outside the window.
Air conditioning that’s old, noisy and blows directly onto the bed
This pillow was typical of all of the pillows and needs to be burned.
Old and damaged bedding.

The room was semi-clean and in a great location. However, a smoke detector beeped most of the night, keeping me awake. The hotel says they have 24 hour reception, but they do not. They simply have a security guard on duty who cannot help with building maintenance or guest issues.

The room was in terrible condition. When we arrived, we immediately noticed several strands of hair on the linens, which clearly hadn’t been cleaned. The pillows had yellow stains, and the bathroom had mold and a strong mildew odor. To make matters worse, we saw roaches crawling near the sink. We ended up leaving the room at 1 a.m. because we couldn’t even stay for a full night. When we went to drop off the keys at the front desk, the staff member on duty had bloodshot red eyes. After we explained everything that had happened, he didn’t ask any questions or seem concerned—he just continued scrolling on his phone. I reached out to the hotel afterward and was told they are still deciding on what to do, but I haven’t heard back from them since.
