Phish and more

Travel Inn was not only a great location for both Broadway show but also for Madison Square Garden! Free parking was a bonus and plan to stay there often.

Great location, hard bed!

For the value, this was hands down worth every penny. Right off the Lincoln Tunnel and a skip to Times Square, with easy access to the Subway and well, everything in NYC. For all the walking you have to do in NYC, it's still important to get a good night's rest, and that was close to impossible on the double size rock hard mattress the hotel provides. Small room, small bathroom - no problem - but I am still massaging my back from the bed. I'd stay again, but bring extra pillows and a comforter for body comfort.

OK place to stay

Initially they gave me a room for smokers although I had requested one (even calling them by phone) for non smokers. They promptly changed my room. The stuff was courteous.

This hotel is only a couple blocks from Times Square, central bus stop and Subway. Incase you are driving then the hotel also has Free parking. The rooms were spacious and clean. The price was also reasonable compared to other hotels.

not the closest

I've been to NY many times & rarely stay in the same hotel. I don't know if I would stay here again either. We got to the hotel @ 1:30 & figured we'd be able to check in as according to my paperwork check in was @ 2...well the front desk told us we couldn't check in til 3. We had people to meet up w/so it kind of threw a wrench in our plans...of freshening up. None of us really slept because the beds were pretty hard...if u like that you will probably sleep like a baby. :) When our room was cleaned she took all of our towels & never gave us new ones so we had to call housekeeping to get some. It's not a bad hotel it was just a lil further west then I was expecting...forgot how long NY city blocks are. There also isn't a safe in the room. I didn't like carrying around all the things I needed to but also didn't feel comfortable w/leaving it in the room.
