Daily mandatory fees were ridiculous, making us pay for things we did not need. They had an additional $15/day for the mini bar frig in the room (inside a regular frig)!! They also charged an extra $20/day to use in their restaurant! These are absolutely frivolous money making schemes that insult the guest staying. This cheapens up a nice old hotel, which is extremely sad! Management needs to change these cheap tactics or risk losing their customers!

Solides, bezahlbares Hotel, welches nahe des Times Square in einer sicheren Gegend liegt. Wir hatten eine Suite, welche mit einer kleinen Küche ausgestattet war. Küche ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. 2 Schüssel 2 Teller und 2x Besteck für 3 Personen erhalten. Für New Yorker Verhältnisse wurde das Zimmer von dem netten Servicepersonal äußerst sauber gemacht. Allerdings hatten beide Teppiche jeweils etliche Flecken an sichtbaren Stellen. Das Schlafsofa war extrem unbequem und schon durchgelegen. Servicepersonal in der Lobby sehr nett, bis auf einen Mitarbeiter, der uns ein wenig mit Druck einen Transfer andrehen wollte. Im großen und Ganzen kann man das Hotel weiterempfehlen. PS: Wartestäbchen, Nähkit, Hausschuhe u.Ä. selbst mitnehmen, wird nicht zur Verfügung gestellt, außer wenn man danach fragt.

This hotel was beautiful and very clean, both our room and the lobby was stylish and chic. The location was great, easy to walk to Broadway theaters. This was a perfect hotel for a weekend in NYC. I will say that we had drinks in the bar once, and I felt like they were very overpriced, but it is New York. I would definitely stay here again

Das Zimmer war ingesamt sauber bis auf die Böden. Die hatten Flecken, die Teppiche Krümel und Fussel. Das Personal beim einchecken nett, aber nicht außerordentlich freundlich. Ich hatte um ein spezielles Zimmer gebeten, war nicht möglich. Im Gegenteil, dass zugewiesene Zimmer war sehr eng. Nach nervenaufreibenden Gesprächen war es am nächsten Tag möglich in ein schöneres Zimmer umzuziehen. Trotz allem ist es ein sehr schönes Hotel mit sehr hübsch renovierten Zimmern. Die Lage ist zentral, Subway und Busverbindungen direkt gegenüber des Hotels. Genauso wie zahlreiche Restaurants. Wenn man direkt auf die Wünsche der Gäste eingehen würde wäre es perfekt!

Kitchen in room should be updated,it was nice addition. The entire hotel needs updating, no air conditioner running in hallways or elevator, it was awful. No room service and front staff was slow and if you arrived half hour before check in 3pm you had to wait 1 hour before they could find a room,which was poor customer service and the pricey rates you pay is unacceptable for new york.

I am upset about the false advertisment. I paid for an upgraded suite with a large soaking tub. On the websit there was a picture and it was listed in the amenities specifically. When we got to our room we had only a shower. The front desk is not aware of any soaking tubs at all in the building. They tried to accomodate us and moved us to a room with a normal bath/shower combo. I would not have paid the extra upgraded room if i knew the tub didnt exist. I tried contacting Expedia with no reply. Writing this rebiew to warn other potential patrons.

5 STARS to all staff I encountered during my stay. All were warm, mature and showed me great hospitality. I had a 300sq ft room, large for NYC. The hvac is comparable to the noise of a split system. Room had microwave and fridge. Zero noise heard between the walls. For hotel ownership/senior leadership- This 200 room hotel can’t run on 2 small, 100 year old elevators. 1 was broken during my entire stay. The elevators can barely accommodate a luggage rack. The elevators make it hard for your staff to serve guests! Poor design choice of using wallpaper above bathroom vanity- stains became apparent. I was in room 2005, the hole drilled into the marble countertop (for the sink faucet) was off by 1 inch, leaving an unsightly gap. Lastly, “Anatonicals” toiletries is a very poor choice for a “luxury” tier hotel brand. Anatomicals is similar to drug store quality.
