We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms, which was really nice. although we shared a bathroom (we knew this when we booked it), everything worked out really well. the communal bathrooms were well maintained, clean and always ready for use, and we also had a basin/wash area in our bedroom, which proved very convenient. Even though we were... More

This hotel is newly refurbished and it shows. By NYC standards, this one is very good for the price. The staff are friendly, and VERY accommodating. We requested several "special" items for our room and all were delivered. We stayed in the only "suite" and the room felt very spacious and comfortable. We stayed 4 nights but could have easily...

Have you ever heard of reserving a room with a community bathroom down the hall. They tell me I did not read my confirmation thoroughly. Who expects to rent a hotel and have leave the room to use the bathroom? Who looks for that on their conformation? And the place looks like a battle zone outside due to construction so... More

WE ARE NOT KIDDING. Hotels that offer rooms with shared bathrooms do exist in NYC and the Seton Hotel is one of them. In addition to shared bathrooms 75% of our rooms have private bathrooms en suite. However, one of the unique features of our shared bathrooms is the ratio which is two guest rooms to one shared bathroom in... More

I had read in previous reviews that the entire hotel was undergoing major remodeling. This was true on our visit. It seems like they are nearly finished. The remodel didn't interfere with our stay. Our room on the 6th floor was pretty quiet. Most of the remaining remodel seemed to be limited to the lobby/entry area. To our delight, we... More

We only stayed for one night but had the best nights sleep here throughout our whole trip. The room size was comfortable and the room and bathroom clean. The bathroom was also a comfortable size. If we find ourselves in New York again we will definitely be booking in here again.

if you want chocolates on your pillow do not go to the Seton. But if you want a basic room with a comfy bed, nice pillows, modern bathroom, spotlessly clean, really friendly and efficient service in a great location for an affordable price, this is the place to be. The free coffee is a treat. There are numerous diners and... More

I spent just a night (April 8). The hotel is under renovation inside and outside. If you'd like to stay @ the consrtuction zone, you're fine. But we didn't like it. There is no lobby, no traditional reception... However the rate didn't reflect this inconvinience. Also be careful with "shared" bathroom as you will need to go to shower outside...... More
