Check in was quick and smooth. We politely asked if there was breakfast down here in the lobby, the response was abruptly given the response of “You can find breakfast outside”. The room was spacious. Quickly we realized that the top bunk on the bunk beds was certainly not safe for my daughter.. so flimsy. We just put the mattress down on the floor instead. Also, not a problem and moving on. It didn’t take long to discover that the shower drain had a bunch of bugs coming out of it. Like, a lot. We covered the drain with the ice bucket to prevent more from coming into the shower, shut the bathroom door and then notified the front desk. They apologized and said they would take care of it while we were away. Which they did. Smelled like bleach when we returned but no more bugs… until throughout the evening. My mother tried to prep the coffee pot for the morning and it wouldn’t work. Front desk stated they would bring us a different one right away, it never did arrive. That night, no matter how much we tried to get the radiators to work, we just couldn’t get heat. In the morning, we asked the front desk to please have someone look at it while we were at breakfast. Again, they never had done it by the time we returned in the afternoon. We asked the housekeeping lady for more blankets and she notified maintenance immediately that the heat was not working, he looked at it and told us immediately yes they didn’t work and we needed a new room. Instead they brought a space heater

Excellent location, very central and convenient for walking and public transportation. The lobby staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel could use maintenance—furniture, walls, and the shower were worn. The AC worked the first night but then broke; we reported it, but it wasn’t repaired. Luckily, the weather was cold, so we still slept fine. Good option for the location and service, but improvements are needed.

The stay itself was fine, but I would not stay here again due to billing and communication issues after checkout. I was charged more than the amount listed on my Expedia receipt, and attempts to contact the hotel were unsuccessful. Keep all Expedia documentation in case issues arise.

This is by far the worst hotel experience Ive ever had booking through Expedia. I have traveled and stayed all over the world in budget accommodations. I do not need new, luxury hotels, but basic cleanliness and hygiene standards can be accomplished at the most basic room rentals. We have stayed in $20/nights last minute bookings in rural Mexico better than this Time Square hotel. The location is excellent if you are going to a Broadway show nearby, however for most people the rooms are uninhabitable. Black mold, bugs, crumbling walls, dangling and unsafe electrical work. Its all bad. The hotel management acknowledged this and did let us look at several other rooms to see what our preference of the worst was, however for an affordable old hotel "there is something wrong with all of them" according to the management. Do not book this hotel. Again, I have stayed in $20 Mexican hotels, booked 10 day trips to Jamaica for $400 round trip and had nicer humble accommodations. This place is flithy, unsafe, and no one here cares.

It was a good room, weird shower layout, good place smack dab in times square and easy to get around but room was weirdish, ac wouldn’t work sometimes- turns on and off bed was a little uncomfortable but good sheets and no charging port next to bed — inconvenient but it’s whatever. Would recommend for people who are consistently going out and just need a place to sleep, put bags, etc. debatable on whether or not I would come back

The front staff wasn’t terribly helpful. You can check in earlier than pm, but you have to pay $75. Our soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken. The heater was completely broken and disconnected from the wall. None of the ice machines were working throughout the hotel, despite being told they’ve been broken and were fixed. We had 2 separate instances of roaches in our room (one in the bathroom and 1 on the bed). The location of the hotel was wonderful, and cleaning staff was very nice, otherwise there isn’t much positive to state regarding this hotel.

The reviews had me a little worried but the property was absolutely fine! Elevators worked, room was clean, staff was kind, city noise was tolerable- over all great experience! City noise doesn’t bother me. We were on the 6th floor and sure- you hear alarms or sirens but it wasn’t a big deal. We were hardly in the room except to sleep and shower. We visited in December and the location was perfect. Great Irish pub next door.

I appreciated that the staff was nice, the price was low and the location was great, but… the photos didn’t reflect the condition of the room. The walls were in rough shape and the light fixture was falling apart. The wall plug was loose and wouldn’t hold a phone charger. Additionally, we requested and were granted late checkout at noon which was nice, but… the housekeepers banged on our door at 8am and 10am, waking us up both times. They shouldn’t do this unless they know the occupants have checked out and the desk should inform housekeeping when late checkout is granted.
