The Ace is still a vibe after all these years. It’s a vibrant hotel that has still a bit of that PNW steampunk spirit base on its Seattle origins. I really enjoyed the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. The room was no frills feeling more like a road warrior hotel than a 4-star trendy New York hotel, but I didn’t mind it. They keep the fun going all the way to the basement which housed a well equipped, but tiny gym. More than two people working out would feel too crowded. The location could not be better as it’s between Flatiron, Murray Hill and Koreatown, as well as major subway lines and Penn Station.

Not what it used to be… Rude staff and poor service. TV wasn’t working, AC was set at one temperature and the thermostat didn’t work, so had to place a towel over the vents in order to be able to sleep without freezing. Even with the actual “Not Yet” (do not disturb) sign up, cleaning staff knocked at my door every morning waking me up. The guy at the reception, was always on the phone every time I went there, and based on the conversations, it seemed not hotel or customer related… leaving me standing and waiting while he finished his calls, then smiling and talking to me, a customer, like I’m a buddy from the “hood”… not appropriate. At checkout I made him aware of the issues in my room and about the services, and he said he would take some fees off the bill… which did not happened either. The Ace has a great location, but frankly it has fallen into mediocre territory.

This is an excellent location, central to everything and steps away from subway. Hotel staff were super friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean. Lobby was lively and inviting to work in or just hang out. I also liked the low-light vibe throughout, however, it was difficult to put make-up on in my room which is the only drawback. Overall, I felt it was great value for the area and I would book there again.

This was our first time in NYC and staying at the Ace Hotel came highly recommended by a family friend! It did not disappoint - great location in mid-town, just a short walk away from all major subway stations and the Empire state building, making our trip super accessible and easy to navigate. The main lobby itself is just such a vibe and is always bustling with people having coffee, drinks or working. Our Medium King room was nice and spacious, the bed/pillows were super comfy and the room/bathroom was perfectly clean. Loved coming back to a freshly made-up room at the end of the day exploring the city. Front desk staff were also super friendly and helpful. Only thing to note was that our room’s A/C had a loud, ongoing rattle that woke us up a couple times. Will definitely be back!!!!

I have very mixed opinions about the hotel. The location is amazing. The staff is responsive. However- my first night the AC wasn’t turned on. The staff explained that the entire building wasn’t turned on but it would be resolved by the next day and brought me a fan. I need a cold room to sleep and I’ve never been in a situation where the AC wasn’t turned on before. Once they turned on the AC the next day, I realized that it would just shut off overnight and I kept waking up at 2am when the room got hot. Might need to be updated. The next day, I realized that while my door shut and sounded secure, I was then able to push on the door and it opened. The staff responded quickly and resolved the issue but it was still unsettling to realize. The staff was great but overall I think the utilities need a refresh. The outlets in the room on the desk didn’t work.

This is a good value for the location and the smaller single rooms reflect that. Comfortable bed, good sheets and towels, basic compact rooms with the minimum required - bed, desk, TV, electric kettle, small fridge, along with a friendly accommodating staff. For some travelers the hipster (and loud) lobby bar vibe will be a plus. Not so much for others but you dont' sleep in the lobby bar and the rooms are quiet.

The A/C was turned off throughout the hotel because the temp outside was in the high 60s, making the rooms incredibly warm and humid.
I stayed in a Deluxe Queen for 2 nights, then booked a Deluxe King for 1 night following. The staff scheduled a Room Change to transfer my baggage to the King room while I was away. However, I checked in and was told to check if my baggage was transferred because the front desk staff had no idea. My baggage wasn’t transferred, and they allowed new guests to check into my former room with my bags! I then had to wait another 30min (hours after scheduled transfer) for my bags. The Deluxe King was a smaller room with a very small shower on a lower floor, and much more expense than the room I was currently in - where they left my baggage and told me I couldn’t extend my stay in.

Power outlets loose and too scary/dangerous to use. Rainfall shower head wasted way too much water and splashed too much onto floor. No faucet diagrams or instructions. We figured it out but wasted a bunch of water before we dialed in the “combination”. No place to hang the hand towel. Toilet seat was very loose. The tub was more of a basin. I’m not sure why they didn’t opt for a shower. Lighting wasn’t very good. To tables/desks. No place to place your clothes except to hang. The toilet gave you no room to actually sit. You had to sit sideways. There was no vent in the bathroom. Only a small window that could only be opened/closed from inside the tub. On the good-side, quiet (except for the midnight fire alarm) comfortable, great staff, restaurant food was good but overpriced even for NYC. The place had charm. Great view. If I stay again, it will be in a larger room with a shower stall and ADA bathroom lest I getting injured trying to contort the bathroom facilities.

The staff were so welcoming and accommodating and always pleasant to deal with. The property itself could use a good refresh and every room is very dark and the lobby and room furniture is pretty threadbare. The room we first checked into smelled heavily of moisture and mildew and there were stains on the wall coverings. The next morning i requested a new room and they were very nice and made sure we had a new room by 3pm check in time. The air conditioning in the rooms did not seem to work at all. Not sure how NYC room AC works but the temp never changed no matter how high or low we moved the thermostat; in both rooms we had. Thankfully it was cool out so we could slightly open the windows and they had a box fan we could use. The location was amazing and the Milk Bar in the lobby became our end of the day treat, every day.
Overall, the staff were amazing and we had a nice time.

This was, unfortunately, one of the more disappointing hotel stays I’ve had in New York.

While I understand that the city comes with a certain level of noise, the experience here was notably uncomfortable. The room was excessively hot to the point of being difficult to sleep in, and the inability to control the temperature felt outdated and unreasonable. I was told the system could not switch between heat and AC due to a building-wide policy, and the suggested workaround was to open the window — which, due to a lock, only opened a few inches. The result was a stifling room with constant street noise and no real solution.

Beyond that, the overall condition of the room felt neglected. It lacked the level of cleanliness and upkeep one would expect — there was a general sense of wear, and at times it felt outright unclean. The bedding did not help matters: the mattress was stiff, and the pillows and linens felt low quality and uncomfortable.

The amenities also missed the mark. The gym was small and not well maintained, and the matcha bar felt disproportionately expensive for what it offered. Even small details, like the in-room audio defaulting to a specific station upon entry, felt oddly imposed rather than thoughtfully curated.

Most disappointing, however, was the overall lack of responsiveness from staff. There was little sense of urgency or care around guest comfort, particularly regarding the temperature issue, which significantly impacted the stay.

The hotel is very hip in a great location but overall thought things in the room would have been better for the price. The room was super dark due to the odd light fixtures making it difficult to do my makeup to get ready for the day. The AC for the hotel was not yet turned on so on my last night (which was very hot) I just had to suffer through the heat. Finally, the bed and bedding was not that comfortable. The staff was super accommodating when I had requests (safe in my room was not working initially, was provided a fan on last night without AC) but again just thought the property would be a bit nicer for the price.

The toilet would stop running until I jiggled the The flush button. Lots of dust in the wood molding base plates. Worn wood bed. Just kind of dingy. I understand patina on furniture and walls but this room appeared downright tired and needed a freshen up. Ceilings in bathroom were bubbling under old patches.

The man who answered the phone said that he had no access to the coffee and couldn’t help. I was to call back at 9am the next morning!!! He then hung up the phone on me. The beds are so comfortable and the room spacious. The bathroom was beyond small and had a rusty shelf that held glasses and our products- not very appealing. The shower was insanely small and the room had no outlets. Our coffee pot had to be in the bathroom in order to warm it- not practical.
