There were cockroaches in our room for the first night we got there, we alerted the staff and the hotel manager told us he’d move our room and ordered someone from maintenance to come and kill the cockroach. Less than 48 hours later, there were 3 cockroaches in our room again and the reception at night had a huge attitude, and laughed when we suggested he send someone to deal with it. He suggested bug spray although said he could not pay for this as he had no money which was odd. This is despite the spray being toxic without the proper ventilation or equipment. He was obnoxious and rude and proceeded to say that the only room he’d be able to offer us is one that cannot be locked as the key cards are inoperable. We were given a new room after 3 more cockroaches were seen, we were told ‘it’s New York’ cockroaches are everywhere; we felt gaslight and there were no other efforts to put the customer first. We were then woken up abruptly after a difficult evening by the staff outside our door very impatient with pest control, despite earlier gaslighting us into it not being a pest issue. The new room was better in every regard and it was clear that they put us in a room that was inhospitable for the sake of saving themselves money. We did not get an apology by any of the members of staff there and although we were slightly compensated there were no further efforts to make amends. I recommend paying more and going to a better hotel.

In the email we received upon reservation we were merely notified there is a mandatory deposit. What they didn't tell us was that the deposit has to be done by physical debit card. We had digital payment methods (Revolut, Iris, PayPal, etc.) and cash but they didn't accept it even though we had fully prepaid our stay. So we waited for 6 and a half hours (3pm check-in time, we didn't get it in until 9:30pm). I explained the manager my wife is 5 months pregnant but he said it's their policy. They sent us to get 2 cards of 100€, 200€ in total only to decline the card they suggested. No humanity, no logic in this. We were seriously thinking we will stay homeless for two nights since we couldn't afford another place with our budget.. So the conclusions are for whoever is reading this.

Terrible hotel. Room was nothing like picture. Paint peeling off walls, furniture was rotting, no hot water in room, don’t get me started on the lift situation and the dangerous stair case. Noisy from both outside noise and doors banging at all hours of the day and night. Staff were less than friendly. Couldn’t open the wardrobe because the bed was in the way. Air con wasn’t working so my room was 80 degrees all the time. Don’t know how this can be rated a 3 star hotel, I wouldn’t give it 1 star.

Spend the extra money and get a better hotel. Out of the three elevators on the property only one of them worked. We had waited upwards of 20/25 minutes for one upon checkout but eventually got frustrated and walked down the 12 flights of stairs with all The luggage. The ice machines nor a/c unit did not work the entire stay. Wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t return.

Location was right next to Times Square which was perfect. Only things I didn’t like was the elevators sometimes took up to 20 minutes before one would come. The AC unit in our room was constantly making noise, almost as if a giant rat was crawling around. Room wasn’t the cleanest when we arrived. Overall the staff was very kind.

Very average hotel. Remodeled bathroom but shower didn’t drain well. AC wasn’t working in our room so they moved us to a different room, a bigger room at that, with working AC but I don’t think we ever could control it. Hot and cold air blew when it wanted to. At least one elevator never worked. No sound barrier from the hallways or the outside world. But it’s a clean place to sleep and I did appreciate the new room accommodation!
