Book a hotel near Happy Warrior Playground, Manhattan

"Friendly staff. No frills spot but was a good location for our needs. Very close to the 1 and good coffee options very close as well."

"Solid stay"

"First time guest. Was there for work, then shifted to vacation mode. Was told that the lobby area was recently renovated and it was a good collaborative space. The stay as a whole was average. Front desk staff was polite. A lot of attitude from others. Beds in the standard double bed room were too small for a couple to share. Mattress was decent. Pillows were too soft. Cleanliness of rooms could be vastly better. Found prior guests' clothes behind one of the beds. Bathrooms and tub are super small. Elevators were being worked on, so they felt sketchy. Restaurant food was not good. Used the "nightly $35 credit" once. Water bottle vouchers came in handy. A bunch of broken equipment in fitness area. I got upsold at check-in for a room on a higher floor an extra $35/night. Booked on Expedia. Good location. Walking distance to Central Park & Times Square. Other landmarks are short train/bus rides. Looking back, I should have switched hotels. "

"The sink was stylish, but not practical. The bed does need to be replaced. All in all, I had a good stay."

"This was such a beautiful hotel and the room was spacious. Only thing was the elevators were not working properly other than that I would definitely stay here again"

"DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL. UNFOUNDED FRAUDULENT CHARGES. I am a 50 year old woman from Chicago that stayed at Arthouse Hotel with a friend from April 17-19, 2026. After leaving the hotel, I received a charge for hundreds of dollars for ‘incidentals.’ I promptly contacted the front desk manager and was told it was due to a ‘smoking fine’ on Saturday evening at 7:14pm, when their NoiseAware/Rest AI detector went off. I explained that no one smoked, vaped or lit anything on fire throughout the entirety of our stay. In fact, at 7:14pm on Saturday, we were both blow drying our hair and using hairspray, as well as dry shampoo, getting ready to depart at 7:30pm. No one from the hotel came to our room to investigate or verify this alleged ‘alarm’ on Saturday evening. Furthermore, there was no indication of an ‘alarm’ in our room. The front desk manager informed me that they are standing by their AI ‘smoke detector’ as it detected a ‘change in air quality in our room’ and the charges will not be reversed. I have emailed 5 members of management requesting the ‘alarm report’, as well as a resolution to this unfounded charge. I have not heard back. I have also disputed the charges on my credit card, as well as filed complaints with Federal Trade Commission, NY State Attorney General’s Office, NYC 311, Better Business Bureau and NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. This hotel has other complaints with the last 2 months for the same issue. This is fraud."
