Quick NYC Trip

The staff were VERY accomodating upon arrival. We valet parked the car and they had us checked in with glasses of wine in our hands in no time :) Room was trendy, super clean, great Aveda and Bigelow product and the bed was very comfortable. Only minor complaint was the fan was a bit noisy and the hair dryer was missing the nozzle piece. I will def stay there again!

Very Good Hotel

Ink48 is a cool hotel. It has a modern, cool vibe to it. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. While it is obviously a pet friendly hotel, no worries about being bothered by animal noises. The skytop lounge offers great views of midtown Manhattan with a busy crowd. It is not exactly located in the heart of a lot of attractions but with a little walking you can be on 9th Avenue or Times Square to get where you need to go.

Awesome!

Came here for a one night stay with some friends. It was perfect! I forgot basically all of my toiletries (of course) and they provided me with some for free!

One night fantasy

The hotel was great. My two friends and I spent one night there and the room was amazing. Everything looked just like the pics online. The price wasn't bad because we split it among the three of us. The hotel was walking distance to Times Square. Although we didn't have the perfect view from our room the rooftop lounge made up for it. We experienced some rain by the end of the night but we were happy that we got a chance to view the city from the roof in the daytime. Only thing we wish they had was complimentary breakfast.

Dramatic Night Skyline view

Close to avant garde restaurants on 9th Avenue (the old Hell's Kitchen) and walking distance to B'way. Great bar with view of midtown NYC (midtown's not your grandmother's town anymore). Could use a few more bell men, but the ones that are there now like Jesus, make you feel just like you lived in a Manhattan highrise with a doorman who knows your name.
