Given the price, I was expecting more. The property feels outdated, with old rooms and an overall need for renovation. For the cost, I'd recommend exploring other options that offer better value and more modern amenities.

Not a good experience!

I got very sick the day I was leaving and had to take a later flight. I needed a few hours rest before I left and they charged me double what I originally paid. There was no grace or understanding! I will never recommend this hotel!!!

Could Have Been Great but Not So Much

One elevator bank out of service, limited hooks in bathroom/room for towels, full mirror on closet door and couldn't access due to bed position, no hot water in hotel for one full day, limited plugs next to bed for charging devices, shower sprayed into bathroom due to glass wall not being large enough.

Good value for the location

The hotel was in a great location, close to Time Square and Central Park. The public areas and room were clean. The furniture in the room was cheap and in rough shape. The beds were comfortable and in good condition. The bathroom was very small and the exhaust fan didn't work. There was no hairdryer, alarm clock or USB charging ports.

This property is in horrible shape. I don't know where to start. I guess the first thing that was ridiculed was the elevators. One was out of service, and the ones that worked never came to the lobby. We waited 10 minutes for the elevator. And the other times, we just walked up and down four stairs. The hallways were always full of cleaning staff carts. Like there was nowhere to store them. The water fountain in the ice machine didn't work, so we had to buy water. Even the paint in the hotel was chipped everywhere. The room was very uncomfortable. The A/C didn’t work in one room, and there was no place to sit. We could only sit on our beds. The shower had no door, so the bathroom would get soaking wet. The bathroom door was falling apart due to the room's moisture. The TV had a YouTube app that didn’t work. We had the room with the bunk bed; the latter was hazardous. The WIFI kept going out. It was just not a fun place to be. And our room keys just randomly stopped working twice in the 3 days we stayed. It felt like a flop house. The only cool thing was the location. We will never be going back.

Great staff but poor building conditions

The staff is amazing and super attentive. The staff deserves a 5 star rating. The property however need attention. Outta the 3 days we only had hot water 1 day. The lamps were broken, the outlet was broken also the shower head was not screwed in properly. Finally the light fixture could use a good wipe down.

This place was perfect location for the shows we were attending, but we were not happy that they charged us an extra $50 for a resort fee that they said was mandatory yet useless to us! When I asked what amenities we were paying extra for, he explained discounts on restaurants (which most hotels include free) and possible use of a gym (Why not just charge the guests a fee if they want access to a nearby gym?) Some staff were friendlier than others. The elevators were very slow.

Comfy bed, crappy hotel

Location is great to Times Square, bed was comfortable, BUT hotel needs work. -Chipped paint, scuffed walls, tear in the headboard, flickering light above shower, water took forever to heat up in shower, so much so, i thought maybe there was no hot water. -The shower filled up with 3 inches of standing water before i got in and doesnt drain until well after the shower is over, so you're standing in your soap and lord only knows what else that might float up from the drain. Sink also extremely slow to drain so had to use water sparingly while you brush your teeth, you have to spit and rinse quickly and repeatedly. -Window was really dirty when trying to look out it felt like a haze film had been put over window. -Maid service came because we didn't have a do not disturb sign, but apparantly were supposed to....took our wash cloths and hand towels and didn't replace them. The shampoo, conditioner and body soap were in large bottles attached to the wall of shower and we were out of body wash, but that was not replaced. -There was a bunk bed in our room but put top mattress on the floor for safety, very rickety. -The elevators are a joke. There are 3 of them but pretty sure only 2 work. I would suggest if you have to stay here ask for a low floor so you can take the stairs, guaranteed stairs are faster than waiting for the elevators. You push the button to have elevator come to your floor and you could binge a Netfix show while waiting....
