I was a little apprehensive about staying here after reading some of the bad reviews on here, but once I arrived it became clear there was no need for any doubts! We arrived via the Airtrain from the airport from Penn Station & after a long flight we just wanted to find our base for the week ahead. The Hotel... More

The hotel offered us what we need: best location, friendly staff, clean room and good price. Because de renovation in it, the lounge was not very pleasant. Despite of that the hotel brought us good memories as a luxurious hotel from the past. We wanna to come back soon!

This hotel is old but clean, comfortable, friendly and reasonably priced. Exactly what you need for a sight-seeing trip to The Big Apple! Staff are friendly and helpful, beds are comfy and all easily accessible. Breakfast is a muffin and coffee but we wanted the whole New York experience so we walked a few blocks to the Tick Tock Diner... More

It is within walking distance of Penn Station and near many good restaurants, including several Korean restaurants a block north on 32nd Street. It is also withing a couple blocks of the N-R-Q...

I stayed 6 nights with my mother and had fun. Attendance at the reception were always very friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. You have all the services you need. Its location is excellent. The service coffee and muffins in the morning was also very good. I recommend it and I would definitely stay at this hotel.
