There's plenty to do/see in the nearby area of 42nd Street. Thats a big plus!! The hotel's downstairs interior is absolutely gorgeous. However, I experienced having a room with a very large water bug (roach) which scared the bejeezus out of me once I discovered it. God knows how long it was there visiting with me lol. There was also a problem with the rooms temperature. Other guest had the same issue in regard to their room temperature. I was immediately changed to another room for my issues. Although, the new room had no bugs, it did in fact have water damage throughout. Which was an eye sore lol when in the room. My motto, spend only 4.5hrs in your hotel room once awake... sleep, wash, dress, snack, photo op, then leave. Outside of the room issues, the hotel staff was pleasant. The night life in NYC is always fire!! You can't go wrong. Enjoy everyone!!

When we arrived the room assigned us was not cleaned at all from the previous guests. After being transferred to another room, the air conditioning was broken and the rooms were extremely hot. The window was broken and no one came up to fix the issues after being asked numerous times at the front desk. Horrible stay

Really off times square, so close to lots of stores! Easy check in and check out and the atmosphere here is great! Definitely recommend if all you need is somewhere to sleep and want to be close to most of the touristy attractions.

The location is absolutely fantastic especially if you’re someone looking to see a lot of broadway productions on your trip.

My washroom sink was leaking and the outlet closest to the bed didn’t work. I informed staff who said it would be fixed straight away and neither issues were addressed.

The amenities are extremely basic and the suits themselves need to be upgraded. The suits are very dated and poorly kept.

Location is great, staff is nice and helpful, good breakfast, and good amenities. If you are looking for something luxurious, this is not it. If you are looking for something efficient, this is the place. Recommend 10/10.

The room was fair. The hotel reminds me of a European hotel. No frills. Our Thermostat and TV didn't' work correctly and they didn't provide washcloths unless asked for. There is a $45 \"resort fee\" that we aren't sure what it went to other than just as a hidden fee. The location was good and the room was clean.

Location was good, lobby was cool and there is a nice coffee shop attached to the lobby. The room was VERY small, had peeling paint, and lacked basic amenities such as hand and face towels and outlets. The bath fan was nott working, and the thermostat did not seem to be working (our room was over 80 degrees in february)Typical of NYC, high price and low quality. But a fine place to rest your head after exploring manhattan.

The staff was courteous. When I checked in, there was a pretty big line but the gentleman check-in was helpful, courteous & had a great attitude. The room was bad. The water in the bathroom sink won't go down, called it in, was told to be patient with it, that it would eventually go down on it's own. The toilet was filty and the room was tiny. However, the location of the hotel is perfect & so close to time Square.

The Queen Superior room was literally a 12x12 box room. The heating and air was broken. Upon checking in the room was 82°, I was not to worried about it. I lowered it to 70° and set it to cool, my fiancé and I left for a couple of hours and upon our return the room was now 92°, it was also clanging loudly. I took videos of it. °

I called the front desk and they sent a technician up to check out the unit. Upon entering the room she instantly got hit with the heat & was taken back by the heat. She looked at the thermostat, went right over to the unit only to realize that the cover to the AC/Heat unit was not even screwed down. She saw that the air control wires were not connected AT ALL. She had to rewire the system right then & there. While doing this the tech burned her hand on the pipes as they where smoldering hot, she also had to turn the heat valve off to the unit. We were advised to let the front desk know if it starting clanging again and away the tech went.

The unit started blowing cool finally but the room was not cooling off. The unit started sounding like a plane getting ready to take off and continued to clang loudly. I again called the front desk and the reception told me they would get back to me. We headed down to the desk. They were very reluctant to find a new room, told me the might have a cancellation. I live local enough that I was okay with a refund but then they said oh, we have rooms.... I still checked out and called Expedia.

Our hotel room was small, but typical for NYC. Not a place where I would’ve stayed with children. Trendy vibe, live music, and the connected coffee shop was great. The hotel was clean and well maintained. We were not bothered by outside noise at all. Check in was a little rocky with multiple employees walking by us without saying anything, and then when someone came it was very difficult to hear her over the loud music that was on the time, but all in all it was a good stay. We aren’t “stay in the room” type people, so it suited our needs just fine.

We enjoyed our four nights here with our two teenagers. The beds were incredibly comfortable, we slept very soundly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Shared amenities downstairs were nice. Location was central, we were able to walk to most of the places we wanted to go. Our bathroom was in pretty poor shape, the sink needed replacing, and the fan needed upgrading. Also would be helpful if rooms had more areas to hang things.

The room had no amenities whatsoever. No glass to use for water. We would have to go down to the fourth floor to get ice and get drinking glasses. So when I woke up and needed to take my pills, I would have to dress go down the elevator 12 floors and then get a glass just to get the water for my pills. The shower water was tepid at best no hot water. The room was was clean, but the lack of or a refrigerator or an complimentary bottle of water made it not as easy to stay as most of the hotels that we’ve stayed at in the past in New York.

I asked before my stay for guidance on the thermostat and was told it’s different a remote or if it’s built in on the wall without any guidance. The thermostat consistently didn’t work resulting in my room excessively overheating. When I called to get guidance again on the thermostat I was told only an engineer could be sent up. When I pushed for guidance as I didn’t want someone coming up as I was travelling alone I was told they would call me back with some, they never did. Rooms additionally far smaller in reality than photos make them look.

Room was alright. The ac/heat unit made clonking noises on and off.
My brother's room's AC didn't work at all. It was pumping out heat and they had to unplug it bc they woke up in sweats in 88 degree room.
The bar was lightly stocked minimal drinks. Happy hour was still 18 dollar drinks and the bartender was some grumpy rude old lady that you want to avoid at all costs. I asked her questions about the menu and she just told me to read. Overall alright experience but could have been way better. Won't be staying next time.

I was very disappointed with my stay at the Paramount Hotel. The heating and cooling system was a constant problem and made the room uncomfortable throughout the stay. The room itself was not as advertised, which was frustrating given the price and expectations set during booking. The bedding had an unpleasant odor, and to make matters worse, the beds were not level, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, the experience did not meet basic comfort standards, and I would not stay here again unless significant improvements are made.

Overall I was very disappointed in this hotel.
Of the 4 elevators, only 2 were working to serve 19 floors--every time there was a wait and a crowded elevator.
Half of the front doors to the hotel were corded off, making foot traffic into the hotel awkward and crowded for people coming and going.
The AC/Heat in the room didn't work.
None of the outlets in the bedroom worked, and I had to charge my phone overnight in the only working outlet in the bathroom. Some of the light fixtures in the room weren't working.
There were no hand towels to dry your hands on in the bathroom.
And the noise from the road below was quite loud (cars honking, traffic); which I expected was par for the course until I stayed at a different hotel in the city (2 blocks away) that was incredibly quiet.
This hotel wasn't worth the money, I'd suggest booking elsewhere.

I was fully prepared to stay in a great location in NYC for a good price with lots of charm. BUT... First of all the hotel lobby was filled with what looked like random people trying to stay warm, spread out all over the seating areas. Weren't even sure they were customers. Also, when given my first room the floor was wet. Got my socks wet after a long day of travel, no fun. The second room had a broken heater (NYC IN JANUARY). So, what I got were two room options presented to me that were totally unacceptable. Such poor setup and conditions that I refused to stay and walked across the street to book another hotel. To put it in plain words, they give you two towels. Wash cloths and hand towels are \"upon request\". Until updates are made, this hotel could be classified as a hostel. It certainly isn't acceptable for what else is in the area for the same price. The staff was amazing and sympathetic. I have to assume I am not the only one complaining. They all know this as I am sure they deal with it on a daily basis.
