Rooms and overall hotel was not clean. They only had at most times one elevator working, which led to 10 to 15 minute wait times either to go up or down and when you’re on the 10th floor with luggage, you can’t take the stairs. Front desk staff were not friendly, only was the one manager I had encountered once. The walls are paper thin and I was woke up in the middle of the night due to excessive noise. The location is good, but the price is not worth what you get here.

2 of the 3 elevators were out and there were 14 floors. Rooms are very small and heat was a space heater. Air was window air conditioner. Great location and super nice staff. We only slept there and the bed slept good.

It’s cheap but you get what you pay for. No hot water, 1 elevator (so had to take stairs or wait 20+ minutes).

My first room would not open with the keys they provided to me. The hotel issued me 4 separate keys & none of them worked. In order to get into my room I had to have someone from the hotel escort me to open the door. Once I was actually in the room I was disgusted. The soap tray was falling off the wall in the shower, there was black mold in several places, & broken tiles in the shower & bathroom. that first night I went down several times to get new keys, after the forth time I asked for a new room. The person at the desk said no & made me feel like it was my fault that the keys weren't working and that I was asking for something ridiculous. It also took forever, because only 1 of the 3 elevators was working. After the first night I went to the front desk with the morning crew to tell them about the situation. My partner & I had to walk down 10 stories after waiting for 15+ minutes & no elevator. The morning crew were much more accommodating & issued me a new room. They asked me to repack & bring my things downstairs so they could move everything for me when the room was ready. With only 1 elevator it took forever to get back upstairs, then I had to carry all of our bags down the 10 stories. The elevators kept breaking throughout our stay making it extremely frustrating. Then, on the last day there was no hot water in the shower, & the side table light kept falling off when using it. The only thing good about this hotel was the location. Worst hotel stay ever.

Firstly, location is great, so close to Times Square. However, the room was pretty awful. Twin room number 607 with no working side lamps and a large fan unit that had shoddy unfinished plaster work surrounding it. Very dim lighting. Lobby area acceptable just be wary of rooms. Heard a lot of people asking to change. On other hand another member of party had a super king room 429 which was presentable and roomy. Location is a winner tho.

The property had 3 elevators but only 1 worked for the majority of my stay, which ment long waits and some would just take the stairs. I just had knee surgery so that was not an option. The room I was in had 2 heater units but only 1 worked. I will never ever stay here again. I come to New York 3-4 times a year, this was by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in.

Great location! Room was fairly barebones. Nowhere to sit except the bed, only one of two bedside lights were installed and other areas of the hotel were on the rundown side. For the price, it was about what I expected and the location was very convenient.

The overall hotel seems to be under alot of construction. One of the elevators was out of service so you had to wait a few minutes every time for the elevator. The room itself was fine. Some lights from the headboard had been removed, but aside from that it was fine.

The pictures make this hotel look nice. It is actually really gross. When you walk in the lobby and see the front desk falling apart and a pretty outdated lobby ... you know you are in for a gross hotel. Walking to my room the carpet the hotel hallways were disgusting. The actually hotel room didn't get any better... no water, coffee, mini fridge, the phone does work. The headboard on the bed was worn down and yellow (supposed to be white fake leather) from other guest heads (really gross). I love that I got charge an extra $150 as "resort" fees! If I at least had a bottle of water in my room... maybe you can try to justify this. Nothing in that hotel was a resort". It literally is a step up from sleeping on the street. At least the room was warm.
