For a fair price, and in a non descript location, this hotel turned out to be a real gem. Very friendly staff, and for the price and location a decent sized room. Quiet and non trendy, the plusses include a lounge with TV and free coffee so you aren't suck in your room or an overpriced bar, and a good inclusive breakfast.

My husband, teenage son, and I had a spur of the moment long weekend trip to NYC. Of all the possible locations to stay while in the city, I think Morgans is situated very nicely. Yes, I did have to ask the taxi driver if that was really the hotel when we arrived in the rain as it is not marked outside - but it looks just like the pics you see on this site. The hotel is right down from Grand Central Station where you can catch the subway to anywhere you want to go (and my did we love that place - got some bread, cheese, and wine one day at the marketplace and took it back to the hotel in the 4th floor "library" common area. Worked perfect to relax before our broadway show). There are great bars and restaraunts very close. There are a lot of tourist hot spots located very close too. The rooms were great. We had a one bedroom suite and it worked perfectly. When we left for dinner, they came in and made up the couch in the living room with a mattress perfect for my son. Everyone was happy with separate rooms (and more importantly to him - seperate tv's!). The rooms are very modern in feel, the bed very comfy, and yes, the bathroom is small - but I've had so much worse. There was plenty of room for all our stuff and the shower was a good one! Very hip, swanky type atmosphere. The continental breakfast was ok, but in reality with all the food we continuously ate, starting with a huge breakfast probably isn't the smartest thing! There were coffees, juices, cereals (hot and cold), muffins, bagels, sweets, etc. Perfect for us to start the day.
I have to say, the very best thing would have to be the staff. Very friendly, outgoing, accomodating, and helpful. They helped us with every question, directions, and gave excellent recommendations on eating places. The service above all can make or break any hotel experience for me and this was a great one!!!
Excellent experience for our NYC adventure. Morgans couldn't have worked out better!

The Morgans wasn't my first choice when booking a hotel in NYC, but I was pleased with the experience. The hotel is small--not unusual in NYC--but has a nice boutique feel and does good things with the space it has.

The lobby staff was very courteous and I felt confident storing my luggage while I waited for a room to open. They allowed me access to the lounge where I was able to use a private lavatory to wash my face and freshen up for a meeting. The lounge also had a very nice array of coffee and teas and plenty of seating for anyone waiting for their room.

Later when my room was ready I was pleased to see it was more spacious than expected. I had a queen size bed with a desk, a closet, and a long, narrow, yet comfortable built-in sofa under the window next to a mini-bar that also had drawers.

The bathroom was the only con to the experience. It was quite small with no counter other than a small shelf on the mirror. The shower stall was clean and water pressure was good, but the space was very tight. No more than 1 person could be in there at once, to be sure.

The halls were dark owing mostly to the charcoal gray decor. This didn't bother me except for once when I was aware of someone else in the hall nearby but unable to really see it.

The continental breakfast was ample and tasty, but i believe the restaurant has closed since I was there so I'm unsure if it's still offered.

I found the bed to be very comfortable and the room was quiet. I was on the 9th floor.

The location was fine--plenty of cabs on Madison and all needed services within a couple of blocks.

I would book this hotel again and recommend it to couples or singles traveling to NYC.

My husband and I enjoyed a week at Morgans in mid December and were very impressed
with the hotel and the staff. We booked an advance purchase room and were offered an upgrade for $39 per night if available. We were lucky enought to be upgraded to a junior suite which was large and very comfortable-this would be my preference in future as much quiter than standard rooms as bedroom did not open off corridor. The breakfasts were excellent with very good quality bagels , croissants , pastries , fruit and cereals- more than adequate to start the day. Then location is much quieter than many other hotels in central Manhatten but still perfect for exploring everything by foot.I would definitely stay here again
