Pros:

This is an okay hotel. Kinda booked it last minute so I didnt have much choice.

Pros: Near Penn station, which is very convenient (<10 minute walk). Price is not that expensive, tho could be lower based on how the property looks. Decent enough to sleep in. A/C is nice to have. Staff are nice as well.

Cons: Rooms are definitely not soundproofed, and since there’s a gap underneath the main door, you’ll hear people come back at 3am being very loud. Old hotel and conditions leave much to be desired. Property definitely needs updating. Toilet needs to be flushed in a specific method, else it wont flush properly. You need to pay if you want to leave your bags AFTER checkout (other hotels dont charge you for this), and they dont have a designated place for this (they put it just in the lobby, in front of the desk).

I would probably book another hotel in my next stay; but if this is the only one within the budget (in case i need to book last minute again), I’m not opposed to booking this place again.

Pros:

This hotel was a lot better than expected! I came to NYC for the Lady Gaga concert, and it was in the perfect location. It was only a 15-minute walk to the MSG, so that was perfect. The hotel was very clean and perfect for a one-night stay!

Cons:

The price. $400 for one night and two people was a little much. I understand that the hotel is right in the middle of Manhattan but that's a lot for one night. That is my only complaint.

Budget hotel, but comfy for an overnight stay.
Pros:

Hotel was basic but very comfortable and clean. Continental breakfast included but offering was only bagel and toast. Would have preferred coffee making facilities in room. Staff very helpful.

Cons:

Lift was vey slow! Would have been quicker using the stairs but as husband is disabled didn’t have a choice.
Probably an over priced hotel for what is offered.

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

The hotel room was grossly dirty - I did not want to sleep under the blankets. All the furniture was broken. The fire alarm was not there just wires hanging from the ceiling and the phone was actually not even connected so you couldn’t call 911 if you wanted to.
