Close to Herald Square

Room was very spacious for the city -- and clean. My biggest complaint would be that smoking is allowed and the hallways were unbearable at times. Also, don't count on the concierge for accurate information...we knew more than she did.

My daughter Paige's 21st birthday treat

We arrived at the hotel and staff was very polite and welcoming, upgraded me and my daughter for free as she was 21 with a view of the Empire State from our room... Room was very clean with all that we needed.. Hotel lobby was amazing and we loved the stairs.. I have been to New York twice before and this was the best hotel I've stayed in... And will definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family... Amazing stay and an amazing time as was close to all attractions.. Loved it....

Amazing Break

This hotel is ideally situated for all the attractions, Hotel was fine - clean and lovely coffee and muffins for breakfast. Room wasn't very big but as we only slept there it was not a problem. Only downside it was too hot. Would definitely stay here again.

Sandy Visit in NYC

I don't normally write reviews but we enjoyed our stay at the hotel so much I just wanted to write a few words for anyone worried about staying at this "budget" hotel. We definately will be back next year. The beds are the comfiest I have ever slept on. The rooms are clean, well maintained and very comfortable and just perfect for a city break. The staff friendly and helpful and given the hurricance that hit during our visit, and no doubt concerns for their homes etc, professional and courteous. Nothing appeared to be a problem. Complimentary teas, coffees and stunning muffins were amazing and the concierge in the hotel made booking travel arrangement for our return to the airport effortless and stress free. The location of the hotel couldn't be better for some of the major attractions and sights and in closing I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Many thanks to all the staff, front desk and housekeeping who were there during our stay for making our holiday a fantastic time in what was a difficult week for them and the city as a whole. Andrew, Stuart and Callum.
