Nice service

The people for my check in is quite nice. She show the good way to save the parking expense. The housekeeper is keeping the room very clean after I tired back from a meeting. I will stay this hotel when I visit NY again. Appreciated for all arrangements.

I had booked a superior room for two(pre-paid). The room assigned on the 2nd floor had no hot water. It was also on a smoking floor when non-smoking had been requested at the time of reservation. I was relocated to the 8th floor. Everything in this room was smaller and of lower quality than what the superior room offered. (room size, TV, bed etc.). An absolute downgrade. This room did not have a tub merely a shower that leaked loudly all night. the sink only had cold water. Despite assurance that the hot water tap would be attended to, this never happened. Overall this was a greatly dissatisfying experience and quite uncomfortable. Particularly after arrival from a transAtlantic flight. I have stayed here in the past but am inclined to make this my last visit. Certainly not value for money and no compensation was offered for the downgrade.

Good location but need friendly staff

The hotel is well located in the heart of Manhattan. It's awesome. The rooms are very small and old. The window did not closed at all and the cold wind was a undesirable company. The staff people need a reconstruction of humor urgent :-)

Best deal I could find

Excellent deal, great location. Had an interview on wall street, took about 15 minuets to get to. Penn Station subway/train station is right across the street. Just a few blocks from time square. Staff was worthless, tried to call the front desk but it rang out for 10 minutes and I gave up. Room was more than comfortable. No, it's not a 5 star hotel. It IS a comfortable, clean, excellent deal in an excellent location.

Awful hotel.

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Terribly run down and in desperate need of decoration. Staff were rude, apart from one. The smell of drugs in the corridors was disgusting. Carpets were very stained and thread bare. Bathroom fitments were rusty, tiles had scum, hairs and bodily fluid all splashed up them. The rooms were dark small and dingy. Lights didn't work. Everywhere was covered in dust. Rotten doors, and plaster coming off. Heating system very old and noisey. The bath was so old and rough you couldn't sit down in it. It was the tower of terror.

Great location, old hotel

The price is right, just know you are not at a five star hotel. It's NYC, so you will just be there to sleep and get ready and it was just fine for that. The location is amazing and makes up for a lot.

Great Break

The hotel is in a great location for access to all tourist attractions. The Statler Bar & Grill in the hotel served fabulous food bit pricey but worth it. The room was small but it did its job as we didn't spend loads of time in it. Great location and great value.

Great location

This hotel was very close to my place of business, across the street from Penn Station and quiet upstairs, and good enough for three nights. This is not the kind of hotel you need if you need to sleep in hotels 50+ nights per year.
