The hotel had a good location but that was about it. They only had 1 working elevator for the whole building, and it was very small. It took and average of 10 minutes to get inside of it. The property was very outdated. The locks on the doors didn’t lock. The bathroom door knobs were very loose. It also appears that the heating for the entire building is managed by 1 person and we could not find a thermostat. I tried calling the front desk multiple times but no one ever answered. The sink and shower water only had 1 setting and it was extremely hot, it burned every time you tried to wash your hands. The walls were very thin as we could hear other guests talk from their rooms, every time a door shut it would eco into our rooms. Overall the only positive thing about this hotel was its location.

You get what you pay for
Heat and hot water was out for two days prior to our arrival. Only one elevator was working and it was a 10 minute wait every time you needed to go back to your room. We used the stairs and we were on the 10th floor so it was a trek. Saw various bugs in our room which was unsettling. But, you get what you pay for. So for $150 a night in timea square during the holidays I wasn't expecting glamour.

WORST STAY EVER
DO NOT STAY at this hotel. Read the reviews! No heat, no warm water, electricity blows when using the space heater which was their only pathetic accommodation. Dirty! Noisy. Non-responsive staff. Cold air coming in from unwinterized window air conditioner unit. Terrible lighting, water from shower floods bathroom floor. No wonder you can only book as non-refundable. Then, there's No way to change rooms last minute anywhere in the city and didn't want to be out $900! Hotels.com should remove it from their listing or do more to get refunds after customers complain.

Very convenient if you want to be near a lot of Broadway shows. The hotel is a bit dated and the elevators barely worked so we had to walk up and down the stairs for the most part of our stay.

Would never stay here again.
Not a good experience! The rooms had mold (windows, shower, and room floor boards), no A/C or heater, and extremely small. Elevators took incredibly long, and mid stay one elevation was out of commission (only two elevators total). Shower backed up and we had to get maintenance…and heater transformer was bad, so no heat on very cold days. Boiler also went out on entire building, no hot water on one day of stay.

The room they gave us was "an out of service room" and they did not realize they were putting 3 people in it with no running water. Broken shower. Holes big enough for a large rat with water damage on walls. Only 3 working outlets and one working heater. The elevator took 20 minutes to stop on my floor and it was incredibly small only fitting 3-4 people tightly. The hotel staff, the older women at the front with lighter hair were very rude, Trish or Tish tried to help us and so did Levi the maintenance man and he got the water on eventually but no hot water and the shower was still broken. They could not accommodate my party of 3 and did not have another room for us or anything to help us out. We ended up getting a refund and moving to another hotel the next night. Stay away from this place!!!!!!! Dont do it!
