I stayed in room 4A. Let me start with a positive: the location is very nice and the neighborhood is clean and felt safe. There is a very nice market on 1st and around 82nd that had lots of great food and supplies. That is where the positives end. When we arrived I was tired after a long day of... More

Dear Dyan, We are sorry you found your room to be unpleasant. Unfortunately we can not improve a guests experience if they do not make us aware of the problem. We pride ourselves on keeping a clean and safe hotel. The halls are cleaned daily and all rooms are cleaned before guests arrive. If a guest lets us know upon... More

I needed a place to stay at short notice. I had a great experience at 254 East Vacation. It is well located, it is competitively priced, it is spotlessly clean, and had just been repainted. It is comfortable and the items inside the apartment were modern and often new. Why pay hundreds of dollars for a hotel with facilities you... More

This is a great place to stay. It is not luxurious, but it is clean, safe, and located in a great neighborhood. I have stayed many times and am always pleased.

You want to visit New York, but where can you stay that doesn't cost $500/night? Well, how about 254 East Vacation, just off the SW corner of 2nd Avenue. Not only are the rates half of other hotels, but you are renting an apartment with a full kitchen, in one of the top neighborhoods in New York. Just roll out... More

Just stayed for one night on a business trip, but was pleasantly surprised. Your room is basically your own apartment in NYC. All fixtures were new, with small kitchen and livingroom and a spacious bedroom. Very clean,nicely furnished and quiet. Looking forward to going there again for a weekend getaway in Manhattan.

This is a place for somebody who is single and isn't going to spend alot of time inside. The place is small!!!! However it is clean and very central.

Didn’t know what to expect when this establishment popped up as “least expensive place to stay” in Upper East Side NYC – but so glad we took the chance. What a refreshing change from the usual bland hotel room! More like living as a native New Yorker in the best neighborhood in NYC within walking distance to everything! Apartment was... More

3 years ago my family (two kids, mom and dad) stayed at this hotel - It was exactly the way it should be! - This hotel is just like any apartment in Manhattan - so when you stay here - your are living just like everyone else does in the city. This is not posh, if you want the real... More

The amenities are fine BUT there were no smoke detectors visible in my rooms any time I stayed or in the halls..no sprinklers...no second exit like a chain ladder or fire escape...just a one narrow stairway that goes from top to bottom. There is no front desk or anyone other than the guests in the building so with cooking facilities... More

This is completely false accusation. Right when you enter to the hotel door, you can see on the right side on the wall all the inspection letters, which are UP TO DATE. It is clearly explained on them, where ALL fire escapes are . There are also smoke detectors in each room(we check them on a regular basis). Sprincles are... More

I booked this place 3 months before my check-in date. A week before check-in I emailed Danny the owner to confirm everything. He told me I was to be in a different room (the loft room which is smaller then the room I booked). I emailed him back 5 days before check-in, confused with the room switch and he responded... More
