Stayed here twice because it’s ideal for New York City Marathon. Close to Javits Center and not too far from the New York City Public Library for the bus pick up. They also had what we needed for the race bright and early on Sunday.

Manager and front desk staff were great. The condition of the room and the level of sounds during quiet hours were a bit out of hand. Some vacuuming happening at 10:30 pm one night. It felt like the house keepers didn’t care about our stay.

I’d recommend this hotel for its great Midtown location. It’s definitely a no frills option, relatively basic accommodation. The breakfast was fine, not fancy but completely fine. Very crowded but there’s additional seating tucked away, which is a lot quieter. It’s not a very quiet hotel and we do get woken up a few times but overall it was comfortable. We did have an incident with our daughters’ toys getting taken away by cleaning staff when the bedding was changed. We managed to get one back in quite a bad state but the other appears to be lost. These things happen but there was no apology for it or keenness from staff to try to sort out the issue, which was a bit disappointing.

Room was clean but smelled like someone smoked a carton of cigarettes in there. I was on the ground floor and couldn't open the window because there was no screen and huge rats out there in the trash outside my window Heat wasn't working on the last night and the ground floor is where housekeeping takes linens and it's very loud.

The room that was given to us was connected to another room. There was a door leading to another room which was not locked. We just noticed it on our 3rd day becasue of our nossy neighbour that open their side of the door and was about to see our room. It was not safe and the view from our window was all rubbish. Not a very good view so we have to keep our curtains close all the time.

Breakfast was good for service, taste and choice. It was too busy at times however. The hotel is a little tired and needs an update. Very little space for clothes with 3 of us sharing and extra hanging space is a must. The area surrounding the hotel could be very noisy into the night and we had noisy school children on our floor that made it difficult to sleep at times. We did like the location however - close to broadway and Times Square.

Would only stay again because of location

This is a great location for getting on a cruise ship - but other than that - not the greatest. Busy of course so hard to get breakfast. Door to room would not latch so had to use the deadbolt and security lock while we stayed in but kept our fingers crossed that no one would steal anything when we left. Front desk attendant was very friendly - small elevators and slow.

It's a little dated but really a great hotel for the price and being in Manhattan made it very convenient. The only problem was not the hotel's fault but we had to deal with several student groups from overseas.

Not in the center of all the noise but an easy walk to it. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast area is way too crowded. Not sure if the plates/utensils can be moved away from the toaster where people stand and wait for their toast but that really jams up the flow. It was difficult 3/5 days to get the towels I needed in my room. All that said, I would stay here again.
