I felt very uncomfortable while here, to the point I left my 2 night stay. A worker essentially tried to force his way into my room, forcibly trying to push the door open. I felt very unsafe, got the police involved. I feel as though I deserve a reimbursement.

To begin with, the lady at the front desk was very rude and seemed like she just wanted to get rid of me even though there was no one else checking in at the time I arrived. Moving onto the room, it looks like someone came in and destroyed the entire room prior to our stay. The elevator was falling apart, the hooks in the room were ripped from the wall and not replaced, the fan in the washroom didn’t work, there was mold in the shower grout, there was also mold on the wall behind the heater as well as the electrical sockets around the room were free hanging and not properly installed into the wall which is a safety hazard for guests. On top of this all, the keys were not properly activated upon check in which meant having to go back to reception to get new keys which also seemed like an inconvenience to the gentlemen that was sitting at the desk. Overall, given the price of this room this experience was less than satisfactory and I will not be recommending this hotel to any of my friends and family regardless of the proximity to Times Square.

This was my first visit to New York, and I arrived with very high expectations. Unfortunately, from the moment I arrived at the hotel, my experience fell significantly short of those expectations. Upon check-in, I inquired about the possibility of an earlier check-in, as I was not feeling well after traveling. The front desk staff responded with a dismissive and unpleasant attitude. I was informed that I would be called next for service, yet I was skipped multiple times, with staff repeatedly stating that my room was not ready. As a chef with Hilton, I am aware that staff are typically able to assign the next available clean room when circumstances allow, which made this experience particularly frustrating. When I finally accessed the room, I was disappointed to find that the accommodations did not reflect the images advertised online. The room was extremely small and misleadingly represented. Additionally, there were no ice machines available on any floor, no vending machines for water or beverages, and no microwave available to reheat food—basic amenities that guests reasonably expect. I raised these concerns with the front desk on both days of my stay; however, the reception staff appeared largely indifferent. I also observed several other guests voicing similar complaints, which suggests these issues are ongoing. Compounding the frustration, my key cards repeatedly stopped working after a single use, requiring frequent trips back to the front desk
