Great location near Times Square. Like many NYC hotels-a bit small and spare with amenities. But a good option for budget travelers looking to be in the heart of everything.

We came for a 2 night stay. I picked this hotel because of ratings. When we arrived the hotel did not smell clean. The lobby was pretty rundown. Some of the issues were that our room was very run down. There was. a broken lamp hanging on the wall. There was only 1 light. There was no hot water during our stay. Our TV never worked. The carpet in the hallway was filthy and ripped. There was a broken elevator and it took a long time to go up or down. There were no wash cloths, I asked for some but never got them. I will say the bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Except for the location this place is terrible, the elevators not working and ALWAYS long wait, service is horrible everytime I had asked for help and nobody came I had to go down the elevator couple times (with the long wait) to speak to someone since the phone was unplugged in the room, after I got a different room when trying to use the phone to call reception no one ever answered they transferred you to a line you wait and get to voicemail. Bottom line, worst service EVER. Very disappointed of the maintenance and the place really bad experience.

Avoid this hotel at all cost. I prepaid for a king size bed room and they gave my room away and stuck me into a what probably was at one time a closet with a twin bed. Luckily i was by myself but they don’t honor prepaid reservations. They never offered a refund for the difference in room prices. Now I can understand if I booked the room and still had to pay for it when I arrived but I prepaid in advance for a king deluxe room and they gave it away and stuck me in the closet. I just go down now and ask for a late check out and they deny me even that. Horrible staff, horrible hotel and only one elevator is working. Avoid at all costs!!!!

There’s a reason this one is cheaper

Each time we returned to our room, our keys didn’t work. This was particularly inconvenient because we had just climbed the stairs 5 flights because there was only one small elevator working for the whole hotel. The desk clerk told us that our lock had been reprogrammed. Another time, a desk clerk told us not to take the stairs because it was too dangerous. There was a fire station around the corner so there were a lot of sirens.

Besides the location, everything else is pretty terrible. The rooms are not well kept, had paint missing on the walls, holes where lights used to be, shower head not attached to the wall. First night had a blood stained pillow and sheets. Awful all around

Good location, fair price.

Fair value in a good location. Hotel under new ownership and claim to be working on updates. Key cards were not reliable and needed to be redone each day. No climate control in the room I stayed in.
