We arrived to hotel rooms that had no towels or shampoo. Then the lock broke on my door while we were at breakfast and we were locked out for half a day of our 2 day vacation waiting for maintenance. They wouldn’t even let us in so my daughter could change out of her pajamas. The water filler doesn’t work and reception yells at you if you try to get water in the restaurant. We had to get new room keys 4 times in 2 days because they kept deactivating our keys. They told me they were going to comp one of the nights to compensate for all of the problems we had, but the pending refund that initially showed up on my credit card was canceled by the hotel as soon as we left. There are other hotels in New York. I highly recommend you pick something other than this one.

The property was under construction. It was highly inconvenient. It would have been nice if I would have known to reschedule. The phone didn’t work, the restaurant was not available, no common areas were available, etc. I emailed the manager for assistance and not much was done to accommodate the inconvenience. Location was helpful.

Overall, I had a good stay at this Hilton. The room was clean, comfortable, and met my expectations.

The only issue I experienced was with housekeeping. I called the front desk to request clean towels, but they were never delivered. I had to call back and speak with someone else, and thankfully the towels arrived quickly after that.

One thing future guests should be aware of is the elevators—they can take quite a while to arrive, especially during busy times, so plan a few extra minutes if you’re in a hurry.

Overall, despite those minor inconveniences, I enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again.

Staff were amazing! They are so helpful and accomplished even when I had questions via text message. Unfortunately we were not alerted ahead of time with their ongoing construction/renovation happening that it was affecting my kids with asthma. Elevator use took forever because only 1 was actively working for the whole building, and was too cold for my small kids to use the stairs outside the building. Overall the location was amazing! I'd come back again once construction is done. My kids loved this location

Nice environment, clean room. I loved that the shower had an actual glass door on it. The amount of hotels I've stayed in, I always get water outside of the tub area because it either has the dinky curtain or half of a glass door on it. There are no issues with that at the Hilton. Overall, just a good experience. Definitely recommend.

This hotel is a disgrace, and I have stayed in some nasties. We were guests for 5 days to the tune of 2.3K. 1) The air conditioner blew directly onto the bed. It could not be adjusted by direction or temperature. 2) The bathroom floor was wet, evidently the sink leaked. On day 2 we asked for a room change. Denied. We left on day 4 because we could not take it for another night. You are better off camping at Penn Station. For real.

They didn’t have any king size beds but if we took the room with two queen beds they would comp us because they’re more expensive and bigger anyway. What a scam!! We were all celebrating a special occasion! NEVER AGAIN! Shame on Hilton! You should do better!!

I’m sorry to say the property though is recently renovated is run very poorly. I checked in after I unpacked realized that the lights were flickering so I called to the front desk and was told that they were aware of the problem and couldn’t do anything and I said if you have a problem and you know about it why did you check me into the room ? I was told by the front desk agent that I was an third party reservation ( Expedia ) and they don’t get the best of the rooms in the hotel which is very strange I thought anyway it was late at night so I thought to my self I will sort it in the morning probably the person didn’t know. Later that night I realized I was behind the elevator bank and every time the elevator moved I could hear it and couldn’t sleep. So I called back the front desk and this time it was a guy who was not very helpful so I called Hilton and they called the hotel and then I got a call back from the front desk that they couldn’t change my room so I said it was nearly 2:00 am and I can do it in the morning as I am here in New York as my wife is in MSK cancer center for treatment and I am using the hotel just to get some sleep . I have been having issues ever day housekeeping not having bath towels some days some days not having enough coffee, creamers cups , the bathroom sink back up the toilet backing up the iron all burnt, the restaurant doesn’t understand what sunny side up is the coffee station having no cream etc etc
And the part which amazes no apologizes

The property is showing its age. Things are not quite excellent @ this hotel. Staff is nice enough, but little things... like the in-room fridge that had no temp control & kept things mildly chilled, or the fact that on checkout day, there was only one of the 2 elevators working meaning we spent 40+ minutes waiting for an elevator, (I am disabled & did not have the option of using the stairs), or the so-called restaurant that definitely needs an update. I used to feel confident that Hilton meant quality.

I had a great stay at Hilton Garden Inn New York/Manhattan-Midtown East. The location was excellent — close to subway stations, restaurants, and many Manhattan attractions, making it very convenient to get around the city. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for New York. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay, and check-in/check-out was smooth. The hotel felt safe, well-maintained, and offered good value for the area. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to NYC.

The air conditioning was on the first night and then the only option we had after that was heat for some reason. The breakfast option that was to \"makeup\" for the construction was maybe 15 to go boxes with a piece of fruit and a granola bar - they were always gone and for 2 mornings did not have any. The front desk staff at check in was very rude, I requested a low floor due to an ankle injury and was told they rebooked my requested room so I'd \"just have to manage\". Trying to get more towels EVEN when housekeeping was in was impossible cause they would run out on the cart and not want to use the stairs to go get more (since their was only one working elevator). Half the time our housekeeping just made the bed - no sheet change, no new towels, not even wiping down the bathroom. We had to go buy lysol wipes and do it ourselves for piece of mind.

On May 8th, I arrived at 8 AM. Since check-in was at 3 PM, I used the gym restroom. The moment I opened the door, cockroaches ran out. It was filthy and disgusting. I reported it, and the receptionist just said, “It’s New York.” I was shocked. Being in NY is no excuse for lack of hygiene or disrespecting guests—especially for a Hilton brand.
I returned at 1:30 PM. I offered to pay extra for early check-in, but she told me to wait. I waited until almost 4 PM. If I hadn't gone up to confront her, she would've ignored me. When I got to my room, I couldn't even unpack because I was terrified of bugs. The room lacked pillowcases and shampoo. They never refilled the shampoo during my stay, and on my last night, housekeeping took the towels but never left clean ones. I had to go to the lobby to ask for them.
On top of that, the lobby floor was gross and filthy. Cleanliness is a hotel's image and it's non-negotiable for me.
I took photos of everything. If management doesn't handle this properly and offer a full refund for these unsanitary conditions, I am fully prepared to submit a formal complaint with all my evidence to the New York City Department of Health. Cockroaches and extreme filth are serious sanitary violations, and I will report this hotel to the city authorities.

There was only one lift running for a 28 floor building. Every time one wanted to go down or back to the room required at least 15 mins wait time for the lift and yet you would be lucky if you could make room for yourself in the already packed lift. The housekeeping staff was also using the same lift with all their equipments and stuff occupying the major space of that one compact lift. The hotel reception was all covered in partition curtains as some renovation work was going on. In short, it was not how I expected it to be.

The staff who checked us in appeared too busy to attend to us, was looking at her computer screen while talking to us. She also seem to be in a rush and did not mention that we had to scan our key cards in the elevator to get to our floor. Good thing there was a housekeeper in one of the floors we stopped in and helped us.

The same staff was there the day we checked out and the same thing happened, staring at the computer while checking us out and rattled off an automatic line of, “You’re all set. Have a good day.” Not glancing from the screen.

Fabulous staff, was able to check in a bit early when the weather was not the best for walking around. The hotel is under construction, I did get one of the newer rooms and it was GREAT! So so so clean and the most room I’ve had in a Midtown hotel yet. Of course there is only one elevator, but you need to expect that hotels will have construction as we would complain if they didn’t update their rooms. I never waited more than 10 minutes for the elevator. My room did have a lot of “elevator noise” at nighttime but by closing my bathroom door it was almost non-existent and I was able to sleep soundly through the night. You are in a touristy area, so keep in mind a lot of tourist spots will have lines! Great stay, would stay again solely based off how close it was to Subway!
