I stayed here on a college trip to New York a couple of years ago. There were four of us sharing a room, one double and two singles and it was plenty big enough. The hotel was quite basic but most importantly clean. Our room was at the back of the hotel and unfortunately we had a pretty miserable view... More

the hotel wasnt bad. it was cheap and in a great location. the front desk staff where helpful and my stay was great. all the bad rewies ignore them as you have to remember it is a fraction of the price of hotels close by.

We stayed here in the beginning of may 2012 for 10 days. Perfect location just a few blocks away from Herald Square with Macys and good shopping at 34th ave. Many cafes just a couple of steps from the hotel was super when you wanted some fast and cheap breakfast. It's not the most modern hotel in NYC but for... More

When I saw this sign at reception I should have realised that this wasn't what I had in mind when I booked it! The place felt sleazy, had the slowest lift I've ever been in and the room looked like it hadn't been updated since it was built. When i asked for a receipt on check-out the receptionist looked at...

I have stayed at 3 other hotels in New York over the years. After reading the reviews I was concerned. However I found the staff helpful and were happy to assist. Safety Deposit boxes were available free of charge to hold your valuables. Yes the rooms were dated, but I found the rooms clean and adequate. The hotel is very... More

Although was clean which is a priority and bed was comfortable, the hotel is desperate for upgrading regarding decor, this would vastly improve the quality of this hotel. However prob still wouldn't stay again as front desk staff appalling for customer service. Also no safe in room which is a must especially when you have passports

We understood that it was a budget hotel when we booked as we thought location would be more important....however....we had a few problems with the hotel. The positives were that it was stones throw away from the Empire State building, Macys, the Flatiron building and much more. The rooms were thoroughly cleaned everyday and had a good tv, hairdryer, and... More

I stayed there with my girlfriend and the hotel is so so. nothing good. slow elevator. very slow elevator. the front desk guy is very rude. talks stereotypical things about other people. if you can get some other hotel, stay there. I think we paid only $100 per night. So expect a discount. The rooms are very small, view? no... More
