My fiance and I stayed here for a night before we took a cruise from the pier terminal. We took the train into NYC and it was so easy to get over to the hotel, which was excellent since we were lugging our bags around for the cruise. So the location is AWESOME! Although the rooms aren't big, I don't... More

I stayed there for 3 days. Location is perfect. Walking distance to Empire State Building, times square and you can also walk to central park. There are many places to shop and eat. Room was small and bed sheet was dirty. I had to ask to hotel stuff to change our bed sheets. Our room has no view so you... More

Stayed here 3 nights in May. Perfect location. Room size was ok and it was kept clean perfectly. The speed of the wifi was not the greatest. What I liked was the taxi service to the airport: for only 3 dollars more than a new york taxi, you are picked up by a limousine and without any stress you are... More

I was appalled when I checked into my room, it smelled like a sweaty man who had not showered for days and the floor had a significant amount of white bits on the floor as well as some piece that had fallen off of someones luggage. When I walked into the room the windows were open so clearly the houskeeping... More

Stayed in the hotel in April. The rooms were clean and staff very friendly. The best part of the hotel is the location which is in the center of the New York city - walking distance from Empire state building, on the cross of 5th Avenue and walking distance from the Times Square. A perfect location for tourists like us... More
