okay

The room was fine. But the reception was not. The receptionists behaved as if they hated their job. a smile and afew kind words would go a long way. It would take no more time to check people in with a customer-oriented attitude. Also, house-keeping people no longer tuck bed sheets in, but place them on top of the mattress so they wrinkle after 5 minutes. All this would be easy to fix. Otherwise my experience was good.

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.

Weekend Getaway

I cannot say many good things about the hotel except for the fact that is was outside madison square garden. The hotel looked and felt much like a dilapadated old house. Paint over paint on the walls, looks like it had not been remodeled since the 80's. But being that New York is quite expensive, that was a bargain stay, and you get what you pay for.

Hotel Penn, a great deal

I have stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC about a half-dozen times. When I travel alone, I look for price, convenience, cleanliness, safety. I walk everywhere so 33rd and 7th is an easy walk to the theatre district, Central Park, Chelsea, etc. I go to see four plays in three days and am never worried about walking back alone. I was first concerned that such an inexpensive hotel might have critter problems. NONE AT ALL. I still bring my Bed, Bath, & Beyond spray, but have seen no traces of what is prevalent in Chicago. The walls are a bit thin so neighbors can be heard, but bed is comfy, water pressure great in bath, toiletries high quality, cable TV works great. Your room may even have a view of the Empire State Bldg.! Hotel Penn my first choice when I go to NYC.

Looks great on the outside.

Beautiful lobby. Originally got a room on one of the lower floors and was surprised at the darkness of the hallway and the size of the room. It was tiny. I am small and i barely fit in the tiny shower. The room was unusually small. I requested a different room and was moved to one of the upper floors. What a difference! If you are going to stay here, request an upper floor.
