The hotel was fine, bed was comfy. There were some minor things with service that we weren't terribly impressed with. Front desk took forever to check us in and out. Might have just had some difficult customers ahead of us but the wait felt like it was longer than it needed to be. The lounge in the lobby was... odd. It was supposed to be sort of art deco but then they had these unusual super wide double sided couches. Our room didn't have wash cloths. Then the facility itself, everything was in a state of disrepair. Loose tiles in the bathroom, the soap holder and tp holder were broken. The sink faucet leaked around the base if you moved it the wrong way. There was a weird creepy door in our room, not sure where it led and I guess it was locked? We couldn't open it. But it was clean enough, and the location was great, easy walk to our show. I can't complain much really, it was fine. Nothing exciting though.

We had to ask for towels everyday that they forgot. Maybe no clean hand towels left or face cloths. One day they forgot a bath mat. Every day it was something & had left a tip every day also. I have stayed here several times and never had a problem before.

Good hotel and nice welcome in the lobby by the staff and quick check-in, although same area had building work going on was not aware of, and bar was a little small with disinterested staff (considering how expensive a drink was). Room was ok but aged - battered air con unit, bathroom tap did not work properly either. The nice big comfy bed was good. Overall decent value versus other hotels in the same area I'd looked at. Is 2 mins walk from Times Square and all the tourist bits so certainly useful for that.

The place is old and run down in the rooms. We had to move rooms, due to A/C was not working and the 2nd room looked the same old and run down. It wasn’t what I was expecting by the pictures. I will say false advertisement.

Rooms are not very good. Bathrooms are super tiny and sitting on the toilet is weird. The shower in my room flooded the bathroom because the curtain didn't do anything. It also feels like a prison bathroom. The room itself feels more like a hostel or dingy hotel. There was a 'service fee' that is just a waste of money and a scam. I was told it was for water, gym, bar, wifi, and restaurant. Wi-Fi is free. Water is just a water filter on the 4th floor. You get nothing from the bar and if you don't use the gym it's not worth it. Just a money grab. They also charge $2 an hour to hold luggage. I've never stayed in a hotel that does that. Oh, the safe didn't work either. They sell you on the property with the picture of the lobby which is ok. But I'm regards to the room itself, the only good things are a comfy bed, good wifi, and the TV works with Chromecast but the room itself is not so bueno. I've stayed here many times before while Mom business and it hasn't changed. If you need a place to stay for a day or two, I guess it's fine. But any longer?.. oh man... It gets rough. I would recommend for a quick stop with a decent rate except for the lame service fee and luggage hold fee. But that's about it.

The most basic room setup without an iron too. But it was easy checking in. For an overnight stay it’s not bad. I think the premium stay prices are definitely New York prices. Pretty much just paying for the location for being in the city center.

Not the best stay I’ve had in New York. Should’ve stuck with my usual hotel. Catfished by the pictures online, AC wasn’t working the first day, room service only FLIPPED sheets and called it a day. Toiletries like toilet paper was never added after the first night. Having to pay extra for luggage storage. All a mess.

If you love theatres, this hotel is perfect. It is surrounded by theatres. It is near time square as well as a lot of restaurants. The hotel has a very small room adequate if you will not hang out at the room but just to sleep the night and freshen up. The elevators are so slow. The place is old and looks outdated.

Hotel didn't hold my reservation. Offered me $80 off first night to stay in room without functioning A/C, but the offer was bogus. The facility charge showed up on my credit card, the discount never did. I said that I should not be charged at all for the first night and the manager agreed--but it was just to placate. Criminally dishonest.

We knew the hotel would be under renovation, but it is beautiful. The location is right around the corner from Times Square. There’s a cute café attached and other great dining options. Our AC didn’t work. It wasn’t very hot the first night and we were too tired to pack back up and ask for a change of rooms, but we should’ve asked to change rooms because by the last night, it was really hot and the AC leaked water all over our luggage.

The pictures do not accurately represent the hotel. This is a classic bait and switch. The bars and game tables advertised do not exist. The lobby is undergoing major construction, making it very unpleasant. The rooms are dilapidated and desperately need a refresh. The pillows are excessively worn, and the wall-mounted air conditioner is very loud and difficult to operate. This is a 2-star hotel at best. The resort fee is unjustified since there is no resort, just a minimally equipped, depressing workout closet. I have requested a refund. Expedia needs to remove these misleading pictures and stop promoting this hotel.

The hotel is in a very central location for theatres, Times Square and the city, however the reception area and lift lobby were very dark and the bar area was devoid of atmosphere, long and dreary with disinterested unfriendly staff. The hotel is faded grandeur and reliant on the previous reputation and were upgrading the reception area. The room we stayed in was shabby but clean and incredibly noisy with mechanical noise through the air con. We moved rooms on the 3rd night to a room of equal standard which was cleaner, fresher decor and no noise, therefore AVOID room 703. The day reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The French cafe is a concession buisness and the only one in the hotel for breakfast, very nice staff but it is extremely expensive and they tried to pass off Liptons yellow tea bags as English breakfast tea and told us that it the favourite tea of the British!
