Very poor hotel. Never again.
Terrible hotel, bad service very loud very dirty rooms not well kept. Elevators old, dirty and broken down often with people inside. Location is Fridy the only thing this hotel has to offer. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

You pay for location, don’t expect anything more.
Upon arrival before the normal time, I spoke with the desk and told them my name. They conformed that I had a reservation for a “family suite” and that they needed additional time to turn it over. I understood this and was assisted by a friendly bell hop to hold our luggage as we went out and did tourist things.
When we finally showed back up to check in, I spoke with a different desk person and supplied my name. He asked me a second time was I sure that I had a reservation for today. I told him yes and that I already confirmed this with the person working earlier. After a few minutes he said “ I found one and it is a “premium room with one bed”. I told him that was a mistake and that my reservation was for a “family suite” with two full beds and a set of bunks. He told me that I made a mistake in my reservation.
He then told me to call Expedia and have them try to fix it. I told him I was not doing that and it was impossible. He repeatedly continued to argue with me even after showing him my email reservation. He told me that he could not give me the room since he didn’t have any left.
I told him that he needed to accommodate my family since it was the hotels mistake that they probably gave away my room to make more money.
He eventually gave me a room that was not what we reserved or paid for and I was not happy with this experience.

The pictures on website are a lie.
I thought we were walking into a night club in the lobby, low lights with purple lights on and music so loud you couldnt hear the front counter ladie.
Room had no kind of refrigerator no microwave and felt like a jail cell.
Carpet through out halls was stained and worn and nasty.
Extremely disappointed with how much this place cost me for my daughters first trip to NYC. Will never stay there again. And if i was anyone else i would pay whatever it is to stay elsewhere. The best thing about this place was how friendly the hous keeping was. Everything else was a negative 10

Better than expected
My expectations were low after reading reviews. Yes there were issues. The shower sprayed most of the bathroom floor. The chain bolt on the entry door was broken, leaving us without the additional layer of security. There was a hole in the drywall under the window. There may have been a mold issue as my allergies started acting up, but that could have been weather related.
However the room was comfortable and clean and devoid of bed bugs and shower drain flies. The staff was pleasant. There were no noise disturbances. The location was good.

Horrible
Don’t stay here! My experience was horrible. Before I even got there, they couldn’t be reached by phone and when reached were extremely inflexible. The place room was extremely small, one elevator didn’t work, and I had to wait 15 minutes for the other. Horrible wifi. Just an overall horrible experience. Pay the extra money and stay somewhere else!

The heater wouldn’t shut off and we told the management and it still was unbearably hot. The outlets were missing their faceplates. The light behind one of the beds was unplugged and on further investigation found water coming from the outlet hole in the wall. The coffee pot was missing. None of these were addressed by the staff before we left.

Solid Hotel
This hotel does not deserve the hate it receives. The desk staff were friendly (even calling the elevator as we walked into the lobby on both evenings), the cleaning crew were super friendly and never bothered us with the DND sign in place. Rooms were more than sufficient for midtown NYC at this price point. Metal doors are thin and as such you’re going to hear noise in the hallways. It’s hardly the worst noise issue I’ve had. The bed was fine, linens were clean. The walls had a few dings but were likely made by the same type of people showing off their “damaged” rooms. The rooms are typical NYC, small, so large luggage is hard to maneuver and store. The hotel offers a storage solution and it’s very reasonably priced. No issues with NYFD or the club everyone complains about (we were on the 6th floor). We had a tub/shower that did drain slow but we could shower quickly after being out all day with no problems. Elevators are small and you can wait for a few minutes but we never waited more than 5 at peak times. FYI no mini fridges but that’s a small complaint. This place is a 2 minute walk to Times Square and about 15 to MSG/Penn Station/Moynihan Hall.

Room did not have a thermostat in it so we had to call to get repairman to lower temperature and then we couldn't change it ourselves for the entire stay. Light flickered continuously in the bathroom. Elevators took forever. Room was extremely basic. Location was excellent of course.
