This hotel is well situated if you don’t want to be in Midtown, but you want be close to it. There is a very convenient subway station two blocks away. The hotel furniture and carpets are a little worn, but it is clean and comfortable. We especially liked the free tea and coffee, and snacks and fruit in the lobby. That was a very nice touch, which made the hotel very inviting. I would definitely consider going back to this hotel.

Toilet didn’t look clean and there was rubber mat in the shower that looked dingy. Staff was very nice. The room size is decent for two guests. Location was okay most Uber rides were 2-3 miles for needed destination. This is not a 4-star hotel maybe it was 30 years ago. Room had no lotion.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
I checked in and had to immediately request a move from my first room due to the smell of sewage/sulfur. I was moved quickly. However when I awoke in the new room the next morning my shower would not operate. I was preparing to go to a business meeting and there was no engineer that could fix the issue. This room was an expensive room and they offered $100 off for no shower. That is unacceptable. The reviews are correct the property is clean but if you can’t provide basic expectations you should not be in business. The offer to address the issue with $100 off was insulting. My room should have been fully compensated. I was late to my meeting.

Loved the location of hotel and convenience of several subway stations. Room was great and with a balcony. All the staff and management were wonderful, very helpful and kind. We travel to NY several times a year and have always like trying out new hotels, but liked the Giraffe so much we plan on making it our hotel choice for future trips.
