I liked being right across from Madison Square Garden, down the street from Times Square, a mile from Central Park, a few blocks from Empire State Building (made it convenient to hit many NY landmarks) but the paint was peeling off the walls, room had minimal amenities for the price, the television was non-functional (was actually burned), the internet was... more

Yes, this place has got a very good location, but don't expect to be greeted with a smile. When we arrivedat the Hotel Pennsylvania we got the impression that 'this place is really something'. There were only two check in clerks when we arrived, and another just looking out from a smaller room behind the counter. He made no effort... more

First: Checkin. Waited for over 1/2 hour to be told that I had to come back in 2 hours. Second time two hours later, I waited for another hour in the line because there were only 2 employees checking people in. The first room they gave me had not yet been cleaned from previous guests. The second room was extremely... more

The location of this hotel is perfect and that's about all that is perfect about it! If you have ever wanted to have the experiance of being in a movie then this hotel is for you! i turned the corner and was waiting for a red ball to come bouncing down the hall with 2 little creepy girls riding a... more

Myself my husband and daughter had a three night stay in the Pennsylvania this October.I must admit i was dreading the stay in this hotel having read the reviews. We arrived at 9pm and had to queue for about haif an hour which was really no hardship. The staff werent over friendly but when you think of all the people... more

I wouldn't stay at this hotel again, the rooms are small and there are no heating, the carpet is dirty with mildew and the price was too high for what the hotel offers. more

Right in the centre of it all. It's old, yes. It could certainly do with an update. But, for the price you couldn't get upset. Directly facing Maddison Square Garden, it's a short walk to all Manhatten has to offer. Room was cleaned every day, clean towels left every day and it was so busy all the people can't have... more

The poor reviews are true, and deserved. This isn't a hotel as such, I've stayed in better hostels, and the experience of staying here is quite simply bizarre; from the weird roped off line system at reception to the presence of big burly security men checking your room key as you get onto the elevator - I guess that didn't... more

As I sit here writing this review, I'm taking a breathing treatment because of all the mold and mildew problems with this hotel. Just stay away from it if you can!! I have stayed here quite a number of times (all against my will) because of my job. Sure the location is decent, but there are other hotels around the... more
