Handy place to stay

Welcoming and friendly staff. Had a back room which was quiet. Very close to time square and major theatres, situated next to the book of mormon. Hotel itself is run down, threadbare carpet etc but its fine if you all you want is a bed for the night.

Very quaint. One elevator that is rickety enough to cause concern that it probably breaks down regularly enough. (Wasn't scary or a fear it would break down at anytime--just that it probably does happen.)

Nice bathroom and good soap. Some room-specific disappointments show a potential overall lack-of-attention: clock wasn't plugged in and set (and the radio function broken); desk worklight inoperable; toilet seat did not stay up.

Bed comfy and room, although tiny, is worth the tradeoff for location and price.

Hot as Hades

The room was stifling hot and there was no temperature control. I spoke to the front desk and was told to turn on the air conditioner, which was several feet over my head, above the window. The remote for the AC did not work, so the desk gave me new batteries - which also didn’t work. I stood on the edge of the bed and tried punching buttons. They were barely in reach and I couldn’t read what each one did (they were both faded and above my eyeline even when I stood on the bed). On the first night, the AC unit rumbled and roared so loudly, I couldn’t sleep. So I turned it off and slept on top of the covers - in January! The second night, I managed to find a quieter setting so instead of two hours sleep, I managed four and a half. NYC was in the middle of a heat wave, so there was no reason to run the heat at all this weekend. I had been told after night one that they wouldn’t run it the following night. Well, they did. I expected the room to be basic as the building is old, but I couldn’t make it work for me.

Small room but great location.

This hotel is in a great location — within walking distance of most of the touristy things and the subway. The room itself is small but mostly comfortable. I don’t know if the single is large enough for two people but it was perfect for a solo traveler. My only negative with the room was that there wasn’t a way to control the heat. A staff person advised that I would need to turn on the AC if I wanted to cool the room. However, the bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were tidy, so I would recommend.

OK based on location and price

Traveled alone to see shows and catch up with friends. The location is perfect and the price was great. Despite being near Times Square, the room was extremely quiet. The radiator heat was too much, so I slept with the window open. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure with lots of hot water. But the decor is very dated and it’s a bit run down.

As I walked into my unit and set up all of my luggage and belongings, I noticed water dripping from the bathroom door. A few minutes later there is hot water streaming down from the ceiling, to the point where water was seeping into the carpet of the bedroom and the hallway. I understand that things like this can happen but the staff didn't offer to rectify my situation. I had to grab all of my belongings in a rush to go down to the lobby and ask to be placed into another room. They reluctantly agreed but I feel like things could have been handled much better.

The Mayfair is central and cheap. The room was clean. That's all I can say good about it. The hotel is the definition of \"shabby.\" The woman who staffs the front desk during the day is helpful, but the rest of the staff acts like they wish you weren't there. BTW, the bed isn't even a Queen-size; it might be a double, but may be smaller than that.

Good value for the price.

We went to the city to see the book of Mormon. This hotel was incredibly convenient as it was right next-door. I wasn’t expecting much for the low price that I paid and I was not disappointed. What we got was a small room with a bed to chair’s TV set and a nice clock radio that sounded very good. The bathroom had a walk in shower sink mirror hairdryer toilet, everything you would need and was generously sized.

Great central location!

This hotel is in an excellent location! Very central to everything. The room has space for only a bed, no room for a vacuum cleaner or mop and pail. If you are just there to sleep, it works. The linens were clean! It did include a bathroom in the room but the 4 foot window in the shower (that overlooked an office and patio) was a bit intimidating. The moldy ripped blind didn't offer total privacy, hoping that showering in the dark prevented any entertainment for the neighbors :)

If you are looking for a high-class, fancy hotel this isn’t it. BUT it was perfect for the location to theatres, restaurants, time square. No refrigerator. Did have room safe. Windows do not open easily and AC was noisy. Rooms are small, similar to a cruise ship. They had to move us because the sink wouldn’t drain but the AC was quieter in the second room but it was at the back and outside noise was a lot. Get a room down the hall towards the front and you’ll have less noise. Overall it was fine for the price paid.

The only good thing is it is near the subway and 5-10 mins walk to the bus terminal going to the airport. If you are looking to save, book this hotel but for us we will never book this hotel again.
