Forest Hill Holidays from NZ$788

Stayed here for 4 night with family. The price and location were good. Near Times Square and subways. Many restaurants on the block and coffee shop across the street. Rooms were spacious for NYC. Rooms were clean but there was a musty smell in the bathrooms. Not all rooms have a fridge. Staff were pleasant and there was a sitting area off the lobby. Our rooms had no view. 2 elevators, one was very small. Overall, nice stay.

About a minute walk from Times Square, the hotel is nice and clean and the staff in the lobby was kind and emailed us when our room was ready. We had 2 queen beds, small space for 3 adults, can't imagine having 4. Bathroom is a sliding door. Not enough space to put your clothes away. They dont provide complimentary slippers ($3.50USD); no robes, 2 complementary water bottles. If you want more the store/cafe downstairs has them for about $2-3. They provided enough towels for our stay and if you need anything else you can "order" it through their app, which was great because we didn't have to be in the room or return to the hotel to request things. Location is also close to various subway lines, which was great. About a 25 minute walk to Koreatown or a 13min subway ride.

The breakfast was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The see through shower made for some funny jokes between my friend and I.

I have stayed here many times. It is clean, safe, well priced and very convenient to the 1, 2, 3 subway. Literally a few steps out the door.

The only good thing about this property is its location and overall cleanliness. We traveled in summer 2025 and the staff was unhelpful, if not rude. We asked to hold our luggage before check in and after check out only to find it hanging out in the lobby at some point without any supervision. There are only a couple elevators in the building and they take very long time to arrive, so if you can, book lower floors and just use the stairs to save yourself waiting full 5 minutes for a small elevator to arrive. with people checking in and out all the time, its hard to fit in one of those anyway. The rooms are tiny tiny. Yes, its new york, so its not surprising, but the bed took about 90% of the room which wasnt obvious on the photos (we had a king bed room). The room description (at least at the time) mentioned a mini fridge, which wasnt there but the staff did supply us with one, which didnt really fit into the room and we had to jump over it to get on the bed. AC was very strange too. in a few nights we spent there we couldnt figure out how to make the room not hot as hell or freezing cold, so we kept switching between the two. the bathroom didnt have a single place to put your makeup near the sink and we ended up flipping the trash bin upside down and using it as a low shelf. All and all, it is not a terrible place, but wasn't very good, even for new york. Better than Gallivant, but if you are okay with a tiny tiny room, i d recommend checking out the Pods instead.
