North Merrick Holidays from NZ$2,173

I was impressed with the size of our apartment and enjoyed that the bedroom had a door separating it from the living room, so our kids who were sleeping on the foldout sofa bed could watch tv in the morning while we slept in a little. The midtown location was very convenient. The room was mostly clean, though there was a used tissue on the floor under the sofa bed when I pulled it out.

Staff was great, hotel is cute and rooms are small but use space efficiently. Great location.

Fabulous location near Times Square and Subway stops. If you’re looking for all the extras like room service and piano bar go elsewhere and pay more. No notorious “resort fee” ripoff. Right next door to superb deli that will cook you up a full breakfast or choice of buffet 24/7 at great prices. Irish pub with great food and beer selection right there also.

Always the first choice for us

Great spot. Slow elevators, but that’s like a lot of the hotels in New York. Good-ranked Mediterranean food on the ground floor, but the club music is a bit much. If you’re on the second level, it resonates. The bathroom wall made a loud banging sound that reverberated throughout the entire room. It shared a wall with the elevator. This is the biggest complaint. At 300+ a night, not disclosing this is shady. The shower was great and recently redone. Endless warm water, so that was great. Came across a drunk guy lying down in the hall on the fifth night…not sure who he was, but that wasn’t great—again, it’s New York, and I’ve seen worse. Maybe check keycards or have a security protocol. I’m super tolerant, but the cons would be no-goes for many, I'm guessing.
