I was given a room with a bathtub surrounded by moldy grout. When I Informed the front desk, I was told it would be dealt with the following day. When I returned to my room the following day, a sloppy replacement grout job was done with no time allowed for the grout to cure. I asked to be given a different room. This finally happened at 1030PM the second night of my stay. This experience made me decide to not stay at this hotel again.

We stayed here for two nights during a trip to Manhattan and had a great experience. The room was small, as you’d expect in New York City, but it was laid out well and had just enough space to be comfortable. This was our first time driving into the city instead of taking the train, and the nearby parking garage made things easy. The location was excellent—right next to Madison Square Garden and within walking distance of many attractions. We’d definitely stay here again

Easy walking distance to Penn Station. Good breakfast with Keurig coffee and croissants. Will definitely go back!

Always great hospitality at check in and check out, as well as helpfulness during your stay. Clean property and comfy beds. Safe location with access to whatever your heart desires. 1 block from Penn Station, 7 minutes walk to Port Authority, 8 min walk to Time Square, 2 blocks from Madison Square Garden and close proximity to all other transportation option.

The hotel has an excellent location, making it very convenient to visit many of the city’s main attractions. It is within walking distance of both a subway station and Penn Station, which made getting around extremely easy.

The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. Upon arrival, I discovered that the air conditioning in my room was not cooling properly. The team handled the situation promptly and courteously by moving me to another room.

Areas for improvement would be customer service responsiveness and the breakfast offerings. While requests were eventually addressed, a faster response time would enhance the overall guest experience. Regarding breakfast, the menu remained exactly the same each day. Although I understand that the selection is limited, adding some variety—such as pancakes, fresh fruit, or different protein options—would make the breakfast experience much more enjoyable for guests staying multiple days.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would consider staying here again due to the excellent location and helpful staff.

When we arrived that evening, the toilet in our room was broken. The water kept running, and the flush button was loose. The front desk staff were friendly, but they were unable to fix the issue.

We had to use the public restroom on the first floor, which was very inconvenient. The toilet was only repaired after we followed up again the next day. While the issue was eventually fixed, the experience was still disappointing.

The shower was also quite frustrating. The showerhead was mounted extremely high—I’m 5’4” and had to stand on my tiptoes just to reach it. On top of that, the water sprayed in all directions, so even when I didn’t want to wash my hair, I ended up getting it wet anyway.

Fab hotel! Location is amazing. 1 block from Madisn Square Gardens - 10 mins walk to Times Square and close to a subway station. Staff are great and really helpful. Our room was 1203 - 2 single beds. Good size room - view of another building but your only sleeping in the room.
Breakfast was a bit bizarre in terms of choice bread / croissants / salad type bar / scrambled eggs / cut up hot dogs / yogurts/ bananas snd apples. Very small area. Great coffee though. If they could up their breakfast game it would be 👍

My room had stuff all on the walls and didn’t seem clean. Morning staff was helpful & doorman was always nice and respectful.
Night staff I believe his name was Charles “night supervisor” was extremely rude and I felt racially profiled. I had been there plenty of nights and then one night he just started yelling that he needed to seem my id (which would’ve been okay, if I hadn’t been there for 3nights already and showed my id every night or every time I returned)
He instantly went from 0 to 100 with his tone and was disrespectful.

All my staff interactions were very pleasant and they were all helpful and accommodating. Property is clean and well maintained. Only small issue I had was that since I was in a wheelchair the elevator and hallways are a bit small but you can still maneuver through. Loved the fact that they had a wheelchair accessible elevator from the street to the main lobby. Overall experience was pretty good in my book.

Poor experience overall, and I would not stay here again.
Before arriving, we had been upgraded, but we weren't informed that we were later downgraded until after finally receiving our rooms, and only after waiting for hours in the lobby. It also seemed that guests who arrived after us and requested early check-in were helped before we were.
I called a few days before and again the night before our stay to ask whether I should book the previous night since we were arriving at 6 a.m. I was told it wasn't necessary, yet we were unable to check in until 2:30 p.m. because the hotel was fully booked. At one point, a front desk employee appeared ready to assign our friends a room until another employee whispered something to him, after which he said, \"I actually can't give you that room.\" This particular front desk lady consistently displayed a poor attitude toward us, especially toward me, which made us feel unwelcome.
When we finally checked in, our room had not been properly cleaned. We had to switch rooms because the first room was dirty, had visible damage, stained lamps, and was missing items such as a hair dryer. The air conditioning did not work properly in either room.
There were also issues with baggage handling and we were even given the wrong bag at one point to which they had to come to our room to take it back. Additionally, the hotel has only one very small elevator for all guests.
The only positives were the lounge area and the second-floor lounge restroom.

There was an issue with the water in the shower, it came out brown and sometimes in brown clumps like dirt, we called maintenance and they came up and looked, had us run the water and said they were going to check the boiler room, it cleared up for about a day and then happened again, needless to say we could not shower and were afraid to use the water in the sink, so we bought bottled water to use. As I checked out and mentioned it to the staff, they said \"oh yeah that happened a couple of years ago\"

The rooms were okay but but dated.
\"City view\" means of the street below and the building across the way. This hotel is in Koreatown. If you enjoy Japanese, Korean and Chines food, you will love this location.
In the room, there was a small refrigerator but a coffee machine and microwave would have been nice. There is a very limited buffet breakfast. They served scrambled eggs, cereal, salad (!!??), limited fruit, yogurt, croissants and toast and wide variety of beverages (coffee, juices, tea, bottled water).

The people working there were very nice and the doormen were very helpful. \"Boki\" was very helpful with our luggage and with the Uber.

The location of this hotel is excellent, particularly if you are taking the train from Penn Station. However, the rooms are very small. There was no space to even open a medium size suitcase and only two small drawers in the closet. The bathroom did not have much space either. The hair dryer in our room did not work - it was replaced, and the tile on the shower wall had some black mold, which was cleaned after I requested a cleaning. The room felt a little like staying in \"Aunt Sadie's\" attic. The breakfast was very disappointing - the bagels were the worst I had ever had. We only had breakfast there the first night and found other options for the remaining two nights. I would not stay in this hotel again.
