We arrived at the hotel and ran a gauntlet of homeless people and beggars in a small courtyard between the sidewalk and front door. Upon entering the building we expected a hotel foyer but in fact what we found was more in keeping with a small railway ticket office with 2 desks to the left 2 elavators straight ahead, lots of people all hanging around in a very small space and a security guard controlling the flow of people in and out of elevators. After check in we went upstairs to our extremely small room which was clean and reasonably comfortable. It dud not however offer the standard IHG choice of soft and firm pillows. All soft,take it or leave it. The shower was scalding hot or cold, no in-between and the wait for the elevator every time we came and left the room was horrendous. I have used IHG hotels for over 20 years and I must admit I have never been as disappointed with my hotel before. I appreciate New York is a busy city and you expect it to be expensive but they charge extra city taxes room taxes etc on top and the quality of this hotel is far below a Holiday Inn express and should be avoided by anyone who is looking for decent accommodation in the centre of the city. The courtyard is very intimidating as a couple and would definitely not be suitable for a single person. Read less

Beds were really comfortable, room size was fine for the 3 of us, it's a base and somewhere to sleep it, doesn't have be the size of a house.

Beds were really comfortable, room size was fine for the 3 of us, it's a base and somewhere to sleep it, doesn't have be the size of a house. Bathroom was fine, you can't see through the frosting so I'm not sure why people were complaining, but some people like to complain about anything these days. Lift... We were on the 35th floor and longest wait was about 5 minutes, not sure where people got 20 minutes from, but see above about people who like to complain. Room was spotlessly clean and cleaned every day, fresh towels when needed and coffee topped up for machine. Staff all amazingly friendly and a big thanks to Nellie for organising a late checkout for us. Outside the hotel wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected from some of the reviews, yes a few people hanging around and the smell of weed occasionally, but given you can buy that legally in New York it's hardly surprising and was far less common than Bradford where it isn't legal. Location is fantastic, great for everything, can be a little bit loud, but you're in New York, city of those who like to honk their horns endlessly for no apparent reason. We will return to New York in a couple of years and definitely stay here again, unless you're a professional moaner there really isn't anything to moan about. Mark, Adele and Jack Read less

Me and my daughter decided to stay overnight in the city while visiting for a Broadway show. We arrived early, around 1130am, we went to the check-in counter and was greeted by Mr. Rocky. We told him that we had a reservation but came early so they could lock up our overnight bags. Instead Mr. Rocky informed us that if we could wait about 15 minutes our room would be ready. We definitely waited! Within 10 minutes, we were given the room keys and on our way. We stayed on the 4th floor in a room with 2 beds. We did not get a city view but that didn't matter to us because the room made up for it!! The room was very small but that is normal when staying in the city. What surprised us was how beautifully and immaculately clean it was. We've stayed overnights in the city many of times and this hotel room was by far the cleanest!! The staff we encountered were all super friendly. The location of the hotel is amazing. It's in walking distance of just about anywhere you want to go. We happen to arrive the day of a Nor'easter but since we were close to everything it didn't matter. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be visiting again!! Read less

Great location, 8 min walk from Penn st/34th st station. 5 min walk up to Times Square & Broadway. Lots of shops, bars, restaurants, diners all around the hotel. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, fantastic shower, friendly polite staff. Hair dryer blew up but was replaced swiftly. Coffee maker didn’t work, notified reception & asked for a replacement but didn’t bother attempting to use it again so not sure if it was changed. Would definitely stay here again. Read less
