By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I wouldn’t pay $100/night to stay here much less the $550/night they charge. It was old and broke down inside. Rooms were tiny and dirty. Could see rust coming through the walls of our bathroom. No hot water half of the trip. No WiFi. No security. Called front desk 100 times and they never answered once.

No hot water on our first night, and manager charged full price of stay to my card again on our last night with no authorization. Now have to dispute with my bank because manager refuses to answer the phone or acknowledge issue.

Nice enough.

A big lump of hair greeted us in the shower. So cleaning needed improving. Bed was very comfortable but we were promised 2 beds only had one! Rooms are nice size but need updating. Good lication.

This hotel is in the middle of everything- shopping, theater, food, and is very close to Times Square! The only gripe I have it is speed and size of the elevators- they're small and slow, and one was out of order. Overall, it was exactly what we needed at a great price! We will definitely be back on our next trip!
