Great location, rooms need serious work

I loved the location and convenience, but the hotel rooms were bad. As I expected the room was small, but I did not expect it to reek of smoke, and have a really uncomfortable bed. For all the walking you do in New York, visitors need a decent bed!

Biz trip

Great ovation and price. Check in and check out takes a long time...you can wait over 30 minutes to check in. Given the price you can overlook things like a pone not working. Nothing elegant, just clean small rooms!

Awful - old - big room but terrible shape

The room was terrible. I was looking for an outlet for my phone and pulled the bed away from the wall. There were holes in the wall (RM 319), and it looked like stuffing was falling out. The bedspread was dusty. It looked like a room out of the 1960's. Will not stay there again.

Great location, very basic hotel

Terrificly convenient Midtown location at a great price. The hotel is worn and old - don't stay here if you plan to spend much time in the room.

Stay almost anywhere else when in NYC

- Turn of the century hotel, large room. - Room has not had a dime invested in upkeep in at least 50 years. - Broken furniture collapsing before your eyes. No coffee maker in room, 25 year old TV barely sitting on broken shelf in broken cabinet. - Original tiny bathroom, mold on ceiling & walls, sink literally falling off the wall. - Mattress and pillows God knows how old, hard as a rock, pillow like pancakes. - Took two days for them to send maintainace to put light bulbs in empty sockets and replace strobing light in bath. - None functional controls for none existent heat. - Three day business stay, housekeeping never cleaned/dusted, vacuumed carpet or removed garbage. - Walls paper thin, people partying in adjacent rooms, had to call security nightly. Don't plan on getting any sleep. - Staff had the worst attitude I have ever experienced. (Business traveler, trust me, I've experienced a lot of bad attitude.) - All this for a mere $300 bucks a night, bad attitude no extra charge! And no, there were no other rooms available.
