Pros: The location was perfect and the price was affordable. The staff was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I will definitely stay here again.
Cons: At first, I did not like being unable to guarantee a nonsmoking room and was given a smoking room. However, even as picky as I am about that, I couldn't tell it was a smoking room or floor.

Pros: Right next to Times Square. Clean rooms. We stayed in an apartment style room (2 rooms and one sofa bed).
Cons: The mattress of sofa was extremely old and useless. The person who was supposed to sleep on it ended up sleeping with somebody else’s bed
"Located in Midtown, this boutique hotel is within a 10-minute walk of Empire State Building, Madison Square Park and Macy's. 33 St. Station (Park Av. S) is only a 4-minute walk and 28 St. Station (Park Av. S) is 5 minutes. "

Pros: As an interior designer, I have an appreciation to the level of design and details. The room was small, but because of thoughtful use of space, it functioned really well for our needs, plus with an expansive corner of floor to ceiling glass, it still felt open and airy. Great views. We loved hanging out in the public spaces, listening to live jazz. Only disappointment was that the roof deck was not open during our stay. Would have liked to have experienced that. The breakfast toast available in the lobby was amazing.
Cons: The HVAC system was loud. I did not sleep well the first night because of it. The entry doors are huge and heavy. While the ADA automatic door buttons were helpful, a door man would be a nice addition to help guests in and out of the Lobby with luggage. The elevators were slow. At times there was a line to get on the elevator on main level.

Cons: The room is a little small compare to other traditional hotel but it is really clever designed to maximize the use of space. There's only one glass door between the bathroom and the outside. If you share the room with someone, your 'business' could be heard.

Pros: The pillows were wonderful, I am looking to purchase similar ones, I had a better night's sleep on them than I do on my pillows at home.
Cons: I would love to see free coffee in the lobby. There is, of course, a coffee maker in the room but I have read that in most hotels they are not cleaned often and can be very fairly germy. I would have liked to have seen a bit more in the bathroom in they way of toiletries, like a shower cap.

Pros: I didn't do a ton of research on Hotel Indigo before booking my stay and arriving at the hotel. We were in NY for a wedding and we received a discounted room rate as negotiated by the groom. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is hip and clean and in a great location. The proximity to Katz's is worth it. There is also really great coffee in this neighborhood. Try Ludlow right across the street from the hotel or Cafe Vita only a few blocks south. I would say the due to the room rate discount we were pretty lucky with the price we paid as the hotel was booking around $500 per night (their regular fee). I would say that $500 is over priced for that hotel but $350 or lower is a great deal.
Cons: Because there is a seemingly popular bar on the 15th floor of hotel you can run into some characters when it is just time to go to bed. Also when coming back home for the night the door man acts as security so you have to your room key on you in order to just get through the door. The receptionist warned us about this so we were prepared but I thought it was a little annoying. However as a guest of the hotel you get restaurant and bar privileges so there is no wait for you to get in.

Pros: Breakfast was mediocre. Dinner was ok but the wait staff needs to pay more attention to details. And the customer. When they delivered dinner they dropped the plates and disappeared. We didn't even have a chance to ask for silverware, which one of us was missing. We shared until we could get someones attention. Not an easy task here as they seem to go with the NYC theory, Don't make eye contact. When we were finished I asked the wait staff for our check (I hadn't seen our waitress in a while). We waited, and waited, and waited. I finally saw our waitress by the bar so I went over and asked for the check. All in all, a mediocre experience. The only plus is the location. I won't return. Not really worth the $$$.
Cons: Breakfast, Dinner. The pool is only open until 7PM. This is NYC. You know, the city that never sleeps? I guess the pool gets tired early.

I called down after the first night to see if could be addressed. Engineering was sent while we were out but the problem wasn't fixed. We got in too late to deal with the second so had to try prob a chair against it to dampen the noise :(

It would have hoped someone would ask them quiet down on room levels.

Pros: Great location, if you can tolerate Times Square. Stayed in a king corner room on the 16th floor. Wife and I loved the bed, the view, and the bathroom. Subway doesn't get any closer, entrance is immediately outside lobby door. Gym was spacious, if you need that. Didn't try the bar/restaurant, just too many other choices in Manhattan. For that matter, nice bathroom and comfy bed is all we needed, as we weren't looking to waste time sitting in the hotel.
Cons: Again, location is great as long as you want to be very close to Times Square and all that comes with it. Noise of the city is audible on the 16th floor, but wasn't a problem for either of us sleeping through it. Wifi has a fee, but you can avoid it if you sign up for IHC membership.

Pros: If you want to be in the middle of it all at Time Square stay here.
Cons: Everything from the quality of room service, attention to detail and cleanliness, broken wifi, and price tag was incredibly underwhelming for a 4+ star hotel. The Hilton a few blocks away is a better value and so is the Westin across the street. This hotel felt stuff, old and dated.

For $400, I would have expected more amenities. Elevator keys did not work for several people, including me, to get to your floor. We rode up and down the elevator several times in less than 24 hours. Many others had the same problem. Big waste of time.
Perfectly located on a charming, tree-lined block in Midtown Manhattan, our recently renovated hotel makes it easy to experience it all without spending it all on your hotel room. At the hotel, youll find comfortable, inviting spaces for relaxing or catching up with work, from our chic, comfy hotel rooms to our caf, patio and courtyard, and al fresco rooftop.

"This family-friendly New York hotel is located in the entertainment district, steps away from Walter Kerr Theatre, Ambassador Theatre and Circle in the Square Theater. Duffy Square and Palace Theatre are also within 5 minutes. 49th St. Station is only a 2-minute walk and 47 - 50 Sts - Rockefeller Center Station is 5 minutes. "

Pros: The location was good. The people we interacted with were nice.
Cons: While the staff was nice, they didn't do a darn thing. A smile and a kind word does not make a bed. I know this because one day we came back to a room that hadn't been serviced, reasons still unclear. We became quite close to Terrance, the front desk agent at night. Pleasant as can be, but it took 3 calls to get some towels delivered. We asked for tissues, and no joke- were handed a wad of tissues. Guess the boxes are for special people? Shampoo is also held in the vault. The fan in the bathroom didn't work so everything just steamed up. The shower was broken and given it's a wall of glass, it's a serious safety hazard. It also meant the water just poured out of the shower and puddled on the floor. A real problem when you can't get an extra towel. The wallpaper is peeling up and there was mold, likely do to the broken vent. The window in the room was broken. We figured it was safe with our son cause it really wouldn't open, but it also didn't quite close. The black out curtains were the dirtiest thing I've ever seen and had large (obvious) rips in them. Oh, and to top it all off they did maintenance on the plumbing and shut off the hot water. Guess how I found that out? Nope, not through a phone call or a note slipped under the door. But only once I was in the shower and the water just wouldn't get hot. I paid over $300 a night for this. I will literally never return to this location, nor will I stay in another Crown Plaza.

Pros: Location was excellent. Room was larger than the average for New York hotel but standard size compared to most locations outside the city. Room had been updated. Beds were comfortable and linens/clean. Had a view of Times Square and the city which was terrific. Rooms were very very quiet save street noise of sirens but it is a major major city so that is certainly to be expected.
Cons: Most everything was fine and complaints minor but they minor things did add up after awhile. First internet is not free and is $9.95 for only 4 hours. For the $$ would expect internet to be included. It is free in some subway stops for Pete's sake. So went with my cell network instead. However I was up above the 30th floor and was down to one bar; cell towers are often angled down. Therefore had to go downstairs for internet. Easy enough but an annoyance after awhile. Also had a couple of items go missing. At first we thought that sine they were in plastic bags on the floor and so the service staff may have assumed they were trash and threw them out. But after we lost two bags of souvenirs we began to suspect something. Unfortunately we did not notice the second bag was gone until we returned home. Again though we are giving the staff the benefit of the doubt that they just assumed the items were trash and threw them out on mistake.

Pros: Great hotel if you're a tourist and want to be in Times Square - easy walking distance to many attractions and not too far can / uber ride to others. The rooms were nice and clean, the maids always bought us new soaps, razors, toothpaste, towels etc.
Cons: some of the staff are seriously awful. My partner has a severe allergy to nuts, and we had issues with two waiters there who seemed preoccupied and had to ask a manager to go and confirm if there was nuts in a dish she wanted for dinner or not. The waiter made us feel awful and then progressively got ruder (getting in our faces, yelling, etc) after the manager had been involved. We did get given a few free drinks and a box of chocolates from management (although she couldn't have the chocolates due to nuts) But otherwise we had a lovely stay, only ruined by a few staff members who need to learn if you work in a service job it's part of your job to at least TRY and be polite and understanding!

Free wifi was not free as it was within service charge. This pricing policy really took facilities down to equivalent of a 2 star hotel or a B and B! Reception staff had an unhelpful attitude. This was on complete contrast to our stays in Boston and DC. Wholly unimpressed. it was almost like the abrasive attitude of Tines Square had pervaded the customer service.

Once in the room (tiny @ about 80 sq ft), the brochure mentioned that linens are changed every three days rather than with every check in which explains the pubic hair and the stains in the bed. It took housekeeping over an hour to come and change the bed. The bed was practically a fold out couch with a futon cushion that was not very comfortable. The toilet was covered in urine, the office chair in the room was missing wheels, the ice machine was broken, the carpet was filthy, and there appeared to be a transvestite rave going on at 4:30 in the afternoon.

It really made me question the importance of sanitation and thoroughness of the cleaning crew. - Not a good sleep. The beds were hard and the pillows were thin and flat. - The fridge and mini bar were missing from my room. - There were unknown charges to my account. And I tried to contact the hotel to question these charges, I was redirected many times. And I was always sent to a voice mail. Eventually, they told me they would investigate and that they would call me back. They didn't. When I called back the account billing personnel (Deborah, I think) was extremely rude and sarcastic, she redirected my call before I was even done speaking.

Pros: We loved the location, it is literally two blocks from times square and many broadway shows.
Cons: The room was tiny, like barely could walk around the bed tiny. We also paid alot of money for the room that was that small. We also had a view of a roof with hoses all over the place and in disarray. Also the building next door is undergoing construction which we were never warned of until we got there and I am a light sleeper, I was up until midnight and later with the jackhammer going off. I told the girl that I was a light sleeper at check in and she shrugged saying the room we had was as far away from the noise as possible but we were on the second floor on the same side as the construction. Check out also took forever and we were the only ones in the lobby at 5:45 am.

Cons: A few things to improve upon - 1. we had a very loud room on our floor and called several times to ask that someone go to the room and ask for them to quiet down. The calls within the phone system were not answered. 2. Very dark in our room. We had three bulbs missing, and the lights under the bedside tables dod not work 3. No TV channel guide - TV was snowy for several stations 4. Hot water went out Saturday Night. Had to call twice about it. 5. The tissue holders above the toilets are a nuisance. Leave the tissue box and supply a shelf 6. no robes - 7. Mini bar did not work….

Pros: The location can't be beat, a half block off Times Square. We were in town for a concert at Madison Square Garden which was an easy walk from the Hotel. The rooms were modern and unique. I could have easily spent twice as much to stay at one of the brand name hotels nearby but I'm so glad I didn't.
Cons: The construction next door created some traffic issues which meant a lot of noise. But we were so exhausted from walking around that we didn't have any trouble falling asleep. The construction itself didn't bother us.

EVERYONE HEAR! The lift is only for two people! the employees see you need to occupy the elevator and they never say ok take it ... EVER!
"Located in Midtown, this hotel is within a 5-minute walk of Central Park, 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue. Carnegie Hall and Columbus Circle are also within 10 minutes. 57 St. Station is only a 3-minute walk and 5 Av.-53 St. Station is 6 minutes. "

Pros: The location of the hotel is perfect, On the edge of Central Park minutes from 5th avenue shopping. There are some restaurants nearby too. If you are interested in doing something touristy the horse and carriage rides are right outside.
Cons: Where to begin. I was only there for one night and it was extremely expensive. On top of that they charged me a $35.00 "facilities fee" which was for WiFi, cocktail happy hour, and other amenities. I used the WiFi which worked fine but the cocktail happy hour was a disaster, very disorganized and the staff wasn't super pleasant. I wish I had the choice of adding on these extras. Also, upon check-in the key machine was not working so I was not authorized a room key. Each time I needed to go into my room I had to ask someone; one time I was waiting in the hallway for 30 minutes until someone showed up. It could've been a better experience.

Cons: They ignored my original reservation of a King executive suite and put me in a double room. This room had gum on the floor, the bathroom looked dirty, the carpet was disgusting and discolored, overall it needed to be updated. I complained and they ignored my reservation, again, and put me in another double room. This room was slightly updated, but still not what I paid for! After returning a third time, they finally gave me the King room I paid for, but it was almost as disgusting as the first room. Luckily, I had business meetings and was not in my room very much, but it made the end of a long day very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!

The knobs on the shower were backwards and the facet was slanted so it was sometimes difficult to turn the shower off. This doesn't take away from the fact that the shower felt absolutely amazing!

Pros: The hotel is very well-located. It's close to Rockefeller Plaza, Times Square, Grand Central Station, MOMA and Central Park. All these are a short walk away. Saks 5th Avenue and Rockefeller Plaza are across the road, the Apple Store and Bloomingdales are also close. It's not quite so well-located for the Guggenheim and the Frick Galleries. There is a much longer walk to these places, but if you don't mind taking a taxi or an Uber, it's fine. The main public spaces have their original 1920s decoration and are lovely! We got a great value deal, which made the hotel a steal!
Cons: The bathroom in our standard room was tiny. Literally not enough room to swing a cat. Not good enough for a hotel of this quality. The main bedroom was easily large enough to make the bathroom bigger. It's possibly the smallest bathroom I've ever had in any hotel. I'm not sure it's possible to make it any smaller and still be functional. Decoration of the corridors and rooms is not up to the standard of the entrance lobby, and the bars. It's not bad, it's just pretty characterless by comparison not only with the rest of the hotel, but also of comparable hotels. It's tasteful, well-maintained and spotlessly clean, but just very... characterless... There is no free wifi! I was amazed at this. This is one thing that you expect at every hotel, even cheap ones. Trying to charge $15 for it is a rip-off. Unfortunately, the room was noisy. You expect traffic noise in New York, and you get used to it. You don't expect constant plant noise from the Kitchen. If we had spent longer in the room, this may have been a real problem for us. The staff are great. the hotel is well-staffed and they are all professional, courteous and attentive. Based on our short stay, I would definitely recommend the Lotte Palace.

Pros: The staff was friendly and the location was great. The guest services were pretty quick: We had issues with the first room and were quickly moved upon request. One of our charge ports stopped working and it was quickly replaced. Lamp shades were dusty and were quickly cleaned upon request.
Cons: The rooms are really outdated and truly need to be updated, ESPECIALLY the bathrooms. We had to request a move from the first room due to the tub leaking. The sinks and tubs are chipped and the tubs don't drain well (both rooms). The lamps were dusty and some were broken. The hallways are a bit dark and carpet looks dingy. There is a mandatory facility fee that includes calls, wifi, etc...that is overpriced and totally not worth it.
"Located in Midtown, this hotel is within a 5-minute walk of 5th Avenue and Grand Central Terminal. Chrysler Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral are also within 10 minutes. 5 Av Station (W. 42nd St.) is 5 minutes by foot and 47 - 50 Sts - Rockefeller Center Station is 8 minutes. "

The room was dusty and not very clean and I ended up taking the stairs from the 12th floor because the elevators were sloe, though those issues were nothing compared to the terrible hours and ridiculous fees.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable. Yes
Cons: I was just surprised by the sheer number of things wrong. As we walked in we both thought. This is beautiful. As we checked in I was told I booked a king bed and I stated I booked a double. I showed the woman ( name omitted) my reservation and she said that a double room just means two people. Fine fine my mistake, I moved on. When we got to the room the heater was making a noise that sounded like an animal was in it. The shower frame was not attached to the wall, the shower door had no way to pull it closed from the inside, the shelf in the bathroom was slanted downward, as was the top of the toilet tank so nothing staying on it. I am a normal sized woman and I was I a difficult time getting dressed in the bathroom due to size. Check out is st noon as in many hotels, at 9 there was a knock on the door. When I answered it the cleaning staff was there and asked when I was checking out. I told them 12. At 1049 there was a knock again, the same staff member asked when I was leaving. Now you may say did you say anything... I tried. I tried calling twice ( was only there one night) no answer and wentdownstairs countless times, but as I was on a quick fun trip I didn't want to waste time. I was just surprising disappointed my my stay and it was compounded when I checked out and then checked into my next hotel, that for only 30 $ more, I not only had the amenities of a " normal room, I was actually given a premier room with a view, corner ceiling to floor windows, A kitchenette, complimentary unlimited filtered water, complimentary breakfast and a staff that was above and beyond. All of this just a few minutes from the roisevelt.

The manager showed up and I told him about the story but he told me I might misunderstood the reception staff and she meant the complementary 1 hour internet in the lobby! The manager was talking with a lot of arrogance and he insisted that his staff is very well trained and would never do this mistake of telling me wrong information.

One of the smoke detectors didn't have a cover on it and there were some wires sticking out - it was too high up to be in our way, but looking up and seeing it was unsettling! The window air unit didn't work well. There is a glorified convenience store breakfast in the hotel bar/restaurant for 3 times the price of a convenience store. In the evening, the bar is okay. My wife and I had drinks and shared a dessert - it was pricey but good. Front desk seemed understaffed - any time I had to deal with them there was a long wait time.

Pros: The staff at the front desk was very professional and friendly. We were greeted with a smile and were checked in quickly. Upon check-out, we again had a very good experience. My wife and I also ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious.
Cons: The Adonis standing at the front desk (not an employee) flexing his muscles and looking around at everyone merely to see who was checking him out was a solid example of the clientele. The restaurant was filled with yuppies and brosephs, undoubtedly with nicknames like "Smitty", "Ace", and "Hammer", who seemed intent on being as loud and obnoxious as possible. There was an outdoor sitting area that was quieter, though crowded with the exact same guys, just about 15 years older. The room was smaller than a closet. I stretched out on the bed and was able to touch one wall with my hands and the other with my feet (I'm not all that tall, either). The bathroom was not made for actual people, unless normal people prefer to have their knees touch the wall opposite the toilet while... well, you get it. Be prepared, too, for the shower situation. There is a glass wall between the "bedroom" area and the shower. The only privacy is a sheer curtain in the shower, which, for me (since it was just my wife and me) was a pro, not a con, but that's neither here nor there. The only other attribute of note is that both the air conditioner and the seal on the window (10 floors up) had been repaired WITH TAPE! I'm going to stop now because my eyelid is beginning to twitch nervously, as I relive the frustration that came along with staying at this hotel. By now, you can decide whether or not I would recommend it to a friend.

Cons: The room we were given. Upon arriving the gentleman that was checking them in called a manager as the room we book was not available. The staff member was directed to give us a room a grade below what I had purchased. When questioned about it I got a blank stare and was told I had a $15 credit at the hotel bars. Seeing how my wife and I were running late for a event we went to the room. Upon entry to the room we noticed is was small. Not like oh cute small but really...really...really small. The HVAC unit for the room was way to loud and needed maintenance. One positive about the room was the bed. It was very comfortable. When we returned from out evening events we found the lobby to be shaking with club / dance music and drunk 20 somethings taking photos of themselves, yelling on their phones and stumbling around Next time we are in NYC we are not sure we'd stay here again even with the pricing being what it was. The next time around we will opt to pay a premium to stay in a larger room.

Pros: Very good location, with many coffee shops and small restaurants nearby. What I would expect from a NYC hotel, of cheaper value.
Cons: The shower is part of your bedroom with a clear wall, giving 0 privacy,to shower or use the restroom. Stayed with my mom and it was quite uncomfortable. The bedding consists of a bottom sheet and a duvet, that does not extend the length of the entire bed, so your shoulders are exposed. The hotel restaurant, we did not visit, had avert very limited menu. When we asked for things for the room to be fixed or changed to the cleaning staff, she responded " I know, talk to management". Also very thin walls, you will hear your neighbors tv, our we're quite so that's not a complaint, just a statement.

Pros: I liked the location, the way the hotel looks and the bar area was quite nice.
Cons: My main complaint with the hotel was the size of the room. It was extremely small. I realize this is Manhattan and rooms will be smaller than another city but this room was still shockingly small. It might be manageable if it's one person, but if you're traveling with someone, forget it, room is just too small.

Pros: I liked the commitment to the theme. Everything worked to give the right mood down to the apparel of the staff and the butter knife served with continental breakfast.
Cons: I didn't like weight for the elevator and having to run to catch it before the door closed because the bank of doors is so long. I also did not like hearing the club music from my room at night. I was on the eighth floor and could still hear the base going.

Pros: Being we are in the middle of a pandemic, the staff was still amazing. From check in to check out, they were friendly, accommodating and on top of their game. This alone made the stay a very pleasant stay.

Cons: The hotel is apparently shutting down. Everything (including even the hotel lobby) was closed. Had to check in via make shift desk in basement/delivery entrance. Looked like it was falling apart. Staff was so minimal the “front desk” was often empty, requiring long wait to get help with anything. However they still had audacity to charge a “resort fee”. I’ve stayed over many times over the years- it’s unrecognizable. Definitely avoid. It will be closed down soon for sure.

Pros: The rooms are cool and dark and surprisingly quiet if nobody is in the hallway. The staff were doing their best, but dealing with a difficult set up. So on that front, I really want to be as positive as possible. I get this is a really difficult time. There is literally nothing else positive to say about this hotel
Cons: It is the middle of a pandemic, the first room we went into had dirty tissues on the bed and half the pillows missing. They did their best but took half an hour to find an alternative (using the last remaining minutes that anything was open in the area to get dinner). They haven't spent a cent on this hotel in the 11 years since we last stayed there - it was so rundown and awful that with the additional aspects of covid (temperature checks etc..) it was a quite dystopian experience. With holes kicked in the doors and walls, the stench of smoke everywhere, the once famed escalator closed and dusty, entrance through the loading dock, questioning at the security guards office and dark and closed off retail areas Stanely Kubrik couldn't have created a more realistic nightmare. Truly awful and memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Pros: This is the 3rd hotel of the Morgan group that I have visited and unfortunately they tend to repeat the same mistake, or probably is their business model that doesn't jive with me. The lobby and the location were the best part of the hotel. I would also like to mention their staff: warming and friendly.
Cons: The room was ridiculously small, especially the bathroom. Thus, if you are 6 feet tall you won't fit in the toilet. it also looked pretty run-down and not very clean. I had hairs on my pillow and in 2 sheets. The hallways had trays full of used dishes and dirty silverware till late in the evening.So their cleaning stuff is clearly sloppy and not managed at all. On top of that the hotel is pretty noisy due to a club they run downstairs, thus you should bring some earplugs with you if you wanna sleep. Lastly I found a cockroach in their gym (yikes). I wont return there.

To be fair this may be a volume issue as the front desk is very busy and the staff have to manage languages from all over the world, which I will admit is no easy job. This creates delays in the check in process creating impatient (and rude customers). I will say they did handle the whining of people checking in with professionalism. Suggested solution - investigate peak period scheduling for front desk, specifically selecting staff with multiple languages

Pros: We have stayed at this hotel for many years, first as chaperones for a high school choral group that came every year when it was still the Milford Plaza, and now as retired adults who come to visit our son who lives in the city. We love the location, and the recent remodels add a very cool feeling to the hotel. Also, we are usually able to get good prices when we stay here.
Cons: The last few times we have come to the hotel, we have noticed just a couple of comfort issues. This last time, our room was very small. I know all the rooms are smaller, but this one was very tight. Also, we ended up with a double bed! I didn't even know they used those in hotels any more! Another comfort issue (and we have noticed this in the past two visits we have made) is that the roll of toilet paper dispenser is located in such a way that it makes it difficult to sit down on the toilet! It hits you in the side of the leg. Other than those issues, we have always enjoyed our stays.

Pros: Quick in and out, elevators are fast and usuall no wait time. City view rooms with single queen bed is great. You have good programming package on TV. Internet is very useful since my AT&T mobile hotspot connection was spotty. Needless to say, Timesquare, Subway train station , theaters and plenty of restaurants nearby.
Cons: First stay, I got a double bed , twin size. Hardly any place to turn. The second stay, I got double full bed, quite an upgrade to my previous stay. Third visit, I got a single queen bed with partial city view, which was great. Make sure to ask. Also this is not your typical full service hotel, no fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc. can't complain, price is hard to bear!

Luckily we were next to a Germqn couple that understood a little Portuguese and it seems the instructions were wait for more instructions. The 3rd time he spoke Portuguese and then finally English !

Pros: The elevators speed very fast. Very comfortable beds. Very quite for most part except for outdoor noise which is unavoidable but not bad at all. Clean rooms. Great staff. The security is well above the norm, made us feel very safe. Locating is very convenient to all parts of the city. Loved the location. Rooms are small but we didn't come to sit in the room. There were two of us and we were comfortable wouldn't have wanted anymore than two in the room that we stayed in. For our first visit to NYC we had a fabulous time and enjoyed the hotel very much..
Cons: Lobby gets very crowded at times. Travelers using elevators for first time doesn't even consider that someone might be getting off the elevator and they crowd the door to the point you can't get off. No reflection on the Row but just be warned you can get run over before you get off the elevator.

Pros: The rooms are comfortable, clean and nice looking. The hotel staff are friendly (and there seemed to be a lot of them). I was there for business and the location was right, but for tourists this is a good spot right in mid-town.
Cons: There is a trend in NYC hotels: take an older apartment building, add blue lights and video monitors showing abstract images, along with bottom-lit check-in desks and then paint the rooms an aggressive color (dark grey is good) along with huge blow up prints of images of New York. Underneath the paint and lights is an old hotel or apartment building. That's Row, with a bar and loud music in the lobby, and the ability to mark up the room price. (See positive too...because at the end of the day its a comfortable place beneath the veneer)

Well when my husband arrived they told him I had to be there ( I was flying in later that night), so I call and they say his name is in the reservation and they don’t know why he can’t check in. I ask to speak to the front desk. 3 HOURS and multiple calls and multiple run arounds, still not talking to to the front desk; a person at the call center tells me he checked already! I talk to my husband who nis sitting on a bench inside with my two daughters sleeping in his lap. I tell him to try and check in, they check him in. A breakdown in communication led to a rough start.

Included breakfast was so so, not the best but good. Very clean room, they cleaned our room every day. Eight elevators, but always very busy.
Cons: Extremely small room, very noisy on 7th floor (at night all trucks and constructions work and you hear everything in the room). Thanks God we got the "Deluxe City view" because it was supposed to be a bit bigger. The view is not as good as other in the area but its ok for the price. One night we found a small worm in the ice from the ice machine. They should have better beds. But over all its the best option for the $$.

One very simple thing was that there was no full length mirror which does not help when I'm getting ready for my boyfriend's birthday dinner.

Cons: The staff was extremely rude and not helpful. During checkin I initially tried to use theit kiosk because the line was extremely long but it wouldn't dispense the keys. I ended up having to wait on the line for 30 minutes. When it's finally my turn I'm told that there is a resort fee. Now I was never told this whole booking. According to the site I used everything was paid for. I've actually stayed here before and used the same company and never paid a resort fee. I try to explain this to the woman but she refuses to listen. Next it was time to swipe the card for incidentals but she claimed my card was declining. Apparently they need $100 deposit for incidentals. Again up until this point none of this was explained. When I begin to protest that the kiosk actually accepted my card but failed to dispense the cards iIwas told rather rudely that it probably did that because my card wasn't working. She then asked if i had another card or asked if I could call my bank. I told her I did not and I really didn't have a spare $100. She then tells me everyone needs to have money for incidentals without it she couldn't check me in and i would her to cancel. At this point i become upset. Why should i have to cancel a reservation that I already paid for because of this. The agency I booked with doesnt allow refunds the day of. I ended up having to speak too a manager to explain the situation. She proceeds to take over while the first person is protesting that I have no money. She then tells me to swipe my card. She ends up charging me the resort fee and allowing the reservation to go through. The same resort fee I never should have had to pay but I let it be because I figured paying an extra $20 is better than loosing the entire reservation. Finally the next morning when its time to check out there is another long line with only 2 people available. As far as I conn see they are doing checkins. I noticed there is achecking. Checkout box but wasn't sure if it was ok to put the keys on there and if I needed to fill out the little envelope the keys where in first. I walk up to where one of the people at the front desk is to ask but she has another guest so I wait patiently. There was also another person waiting there who needed to check out. Once she's done she begins to yell at us that this is not a line we need to make the line. I began to explain that I want trying to skip anyone but I had a question and I wasnt sure I needed you be in the line. She again started yelling that I needed to get on line and if we needed to checkout we could leave it in the box. I tell her that's all I wss trying to ask her in the first place and just walked away. Honestly if it wasn't simply for the location I would never stay here again. Their staff is rude, in need of training and very unprofessional. This isn't even my first incident with them. The last time I stayed there I spent over an hour on line trying to checkin only to be given the keys to someone else room

They charge $5 to keep your bags if you get there before 3 or to hold them until you leave. (Note - the guy working in the bag room was actually very nice, unlike everyone else who seemed terribly bothered by things like checking us in). The tub in our room was peeling so badly it looked like a crime scene. The bed was like a board. The 2 pillows on the bed were the thinnest pillows I've ever seen. The lobby was nice (except the 100 people who seemed to be perpetually camped out in it), but the rooms haven't been updated since 1911. God forbid you need to call the desk for something. There are many lovely boutique hotels and options nearby. Stay away from this one.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: I have traveled all over the world, stayed in dozens and dozens of hotels and, there is no doubt, this one was the worst. This place does not even deserve one star. This is a tourist trap. Its predatory, it's low quality, the service is terrible, and they hit you with a ton of hidden fees and costs. I, like many of you, have seen this place pop up time and time again - it is often listed as one of the cheapest options in NYC. However, to be clear, there is a 40$ "facility fee" racked on to whatever number you are seeing; as well as, at the time of this review, a few hundred dollar "security deposit" that is taken from your bank account without your knowledge, and only returned once you have checked out. The experience began with my girlfriend and I waiting almost 2 - yes, really, 2 - hours to check in. The line was like waiting for a rollercoaster. I've never seen anything like it. While droves of people waiting to check in, two people worked behind a desk suited for up to ten employees. Not only were they understaffed but, for whatever reason, it took the staff members about 10+ minutes to check each party in. I could not believe my eyes. It was then that I was informed that I would be charged some ridiculous hidden fee, as well as have hundreds of dollars involuntarily taken out of my bank account - something I might need whilst on vacation - without my consent, money that has still not been returned to me. Now, the facility was built in 1909, I believe, and it must have all the original carpets and elevators. The rooms were tiny and cramped. It was 80 degrees on the day we stayed and the hotel informed me that they do not turn on the A/C until May , per the "city" - even though I stayed at a different place the prior evening with a fully functional A/C. When we finally checked out, THEY CHARGED US TO CHECK OUR BAGS. Again, I've stayed in hotels all over the world, this has never happened before! Oh, and they also have Fox News playing in every elevator and television - as if the experience could not be worse! I would not recommend this piece of garbage to my worst enemies. This place is a predatory tourist trap. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Pros: The humbling kindness of overworked, understaffed folks behind the desk who had to deal with countless angry customers who were unhappy with the extreme wait time in line or had come down to complain about the condition of their room.
Cons: 70 minute wait in line to check in, did not arrive to room until 1:00am after a very long day of travel. Room smelled moldy and musty, air quality was a major concern and window could not be opened. Aesthetics looked run down and degraded in a way that regardless of how well it may have been cleaned it looked dirty and questionable. Upon checkout the next morning, after only having spent 5.5 hours sleeping in the hotel the front desk tried to charge us an additional $34 "facilities" fee that had not been mentioned anywhere to the best of our recollection. We pushed back and said that we had not had time to use any "facilities" because of the extremely long wait in line the night before and the person at the front desk kindly dropped it.

Pros: The location is superb and the staff is friendly. We had a decent view over Broadway. The price is b based on location.
Cons: Hotel is in desperate need of a Makeover. Missing grout in the bathroom, yellowing bathtub with soft spots, faucets missing screws and a thermostat that only knows "very warm", despite seeing it to 65 degrees (18C), no fan in the bathroom, are just a few of the issues. The parking garage under the Hotel is operated by a different company and is a disaster, both pulling in and especially when leaving. It took over an hour to get our car back, once ordered. Wr were told by others that this was common there.

Pros: Liked that the hotel was close to everything especially "Times Square". Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Cons: Not all the elevators were working so the wait for the elevators was long. Work was being done in the elevator area so the tool noise was very loud.
Okay

Pros: The staff was great. Friendly, helpful, professional. All you could ask for.
Cons: The rooms were old and outdated. Dust was caked on the vents, and there was no air conditioning so the rooms got very warm even on cold winter nights. Also pretty noisy with thin walls.

Pros: Very good, central location on 7th Avenue. Just a few blocks from Times Square, Central Park, immediately adjacent to Broadway...can easily walk (or use subway) to anywhere in Midtown. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful. Had a decent breakfast bar in the lobby with very kind, courteous employees staffing it. Was an enjoyable visit every morning, though it's primarily only got muffins, fruit, and coffee.
Cons: Room was very minimalist and small. Bed was not particularly comfortable. TV only has a few channels and reception was fuzzy on about half of them. Wi-fi is not free - costs roughly $15 per day, less if you buy several days' worth of usage up front. Noise from the street below was pretty noticeable; it would have been very difficult to tune it out completely had I not been using ear plugs. Basically, it's cheaper than the other (nicer, I would assume) hotels in the area, but the location could make it worthwhile if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room...and it's NYC, so why would you? Spend a lot of time out in Manhattan, making use of the great location, and you won't mind the facilities as much.

Pros: The location
Cons: This hotel is very dirty and very dated. Mold is in the shower and tub surround. Carpet and walls are filthy. Check bed for bed bugs but didn't find any - THANK GOODNESS. The windows haven't been cleaned in years!!!!!!! Takes forever to get an elevator to the Lobby and you will stop on every floor with people piling on the elevator because they are sick of waiting for one! It took us 26 minutes to get down to the lobby one eveving. Oscar Jacques and Allison are very nice but other than that it's disgusting. It has no place to get food after breakfast. No room service. Vending machines are sold out and gives you back change for your dollars but only takes dollars the change slots are glued shut so you can't get anything!!! It was the ABSOLUTE WORST!!!!!!!!! Electrical outlets do not work along with some of the lights!!!!

Pros: The main floor lobby was done very nicely. The proximity to trains & Times Square was a plus.
Cons: Our room smelled extremely bad & even the man who brought up our bags noticed it & said something to us about how strong it was. It smelled strongly of weed. That smell lasted from when we entered our room until check out, our entire stay. We even kept the windows open. The only reason I didn’t complain about it was because we had adjoining rooms with the rest of our family & we wanted to be together. Also, the room is in need of updating especially the bathroom. The water in bathroom didn’t drain properly either. As well as the hallways on the other floors. It seems as if the only update was done in the main floor lobby because once you take the elevator up and the doors open it’s like you’re in a motel. The rest of the hotel is dingy & dirty. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and I could not get comfortable with springs stabbing my back all night.

Pros: Location- that’s it.
Cons: We booked our stay online (as I’m sure most do). This was our first stay at The Manhattan but not our first visit to NYC. The website pictures advertised updated, modern facilities, which was true of the lobby. However, once you get off the elevator, you realize the rest of the hotel (minus one floor apparently) has not ever been renovated. Upon walking into our room, we notice that the wallpaper and paint are peeling, the furniture is chipped, the bathroom is covered in pale pink tile and includes a fluorescent light box is not even bright enough to put your makeup on. After placing a call to the front desk, we realize this is typical of a “standard” room. The modern and updated pictures on the website actually reflect the “executive” room. We upgraded as soon as a room was available, and the facilities were much more consistent with what we expected. However, we had to then deal with the thermostat being defective, so our stay didn’t brighten up that much. We will not be staying here again.

Pros: The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was excellent for our needs.
Cons: The hotel is tired and worn. It needs an injection of cash to update and refresh the rooms and fixtures. It wasn't the worst place to stay because it was clean and the location was great. The front desk was understaffed at both check-in and check-out. This created long lines and long waits. We had to wait an hour for our room to be ready because they were behind on their turn-overs and we arrived at 8PM. They need to hire more staff for peak times.

Pros: They have a new surprise policy on checkout where they charge everyone an additional $35 a night in what they call a facility charge to what you already paid when you originally booked your stay online.

Pros: Most staff was nice. Excellent location. Walking distance to Times Square, subway, theaters Hell's Kitchen, 5th ave shopping and many more. Elevators wasn't an issue for us. We asked about a refrigerator and they sent us one to the the room free of charge.
Cons: Definitely needs updating specially their bathroom and noisy doors. Wish it was cleaner. The housekeeping people really needs to be trained to be quiet and not to shout across the hallway and slam doors in the morning. They also forget to refill lotion/coffee. Sink and bathtub was clogging water always.
