    Expensive, dirty, mouldy, dark, noisy, full of really weird crowd, doors look like you are going to step into a huge refrigirator. bed linen were dirty, floors we did not dear looking at and were walking in shoes all the time, bathroom had mould all over, the tub was non describable! what you see on the website is an illusion. guaranteed.

    Good location.

    • Second visit, we took advice of a local travel agent(we didn't know about tripadvisor.com!), and booked into the Pennsylvania. Cripes, it was just the same as the New Yorker! Again, not recommended.

    Goodish location, but wouldn't want to be in that area again.

    • I stayed at this hotel during Thanksgiving of 2001 and I can only assume that it is still pretty much the same way that I left it. I got a reasonable rate off of Expedia for it, which along with the location is the only reason we stayed there. It's a huge hotel, capable of accommodating probably thousands, but it's really looking its age and lacks amenities of hotels half of its size. There were several problems with our stay. To begin with, there were three of us and I had said so in the reservation. Yet we only had two twin beds. The hotel staff said that there was not an available cot so two of us had to sleep together-NOT an easy fit. The floor in the room was tile and not carpeted, which made it a little cold on early morning feet. There was virtually no furniture in the massive lobby and hundreds of people were checking in. It took us an hour and a half to get checked in. While one person stood in line for awhile, the other two would rest. Yet we got yelled at by security for sitting on the floor. (There was nowhere else to sit.)

    The location of the hotel is its best asset. It's within walking distance of Macy's, Pennsylvania Station, and Madison Square Garden. It also had a pretty good hotel restaurant, as well as being connected to Lindy's Diner. There are definitely better values around town, though, if you look for them. This one definitely needs to be renovated and refurbished. In another city, I couldn't see it being worth more than $65 a night. In New York it was twice that.

    Huge tourist class (2 STARS) hotel, 1,700 simple rooms. The hotel is in the middle of EVERYTHING, opposite Madison Square Gardens and Macys!!! We loved the location and the lobby but the rooms are in desperate need of renovation and also the maid service was not great. However, we had beds, hot water and heat...which is really all we needed. Most staff were helpful and courteous.

    The hotel is located in the heart of Manhattan, close to Penn station, the theatres, three blocks from the Empire State Building, Macy’s, across from Madison Square Garden, within walking distance to Times Square and Chelsea and other attractions. If you don’t want to spend too much money for a place to sleep and shower, this is the place for you.

    • You may read some off-putting reviews about this hotel, but think about how little time you would be staying in the hotel while in New York City. Maybe I struck lucky but everything about this hotel was excellent. The first thing to notice is the excellent location, right across the road from Madison Square Garden, round the corner from the Empore State Building, and ten minutes' walk to Times Square. In the hotel itself, the impressive lobby and helpful staff were there to greet you before heading to one of 1700 rooms they have. In ours, we had a large and comfortable queen-size bed, good shower room and the top of the ESB as a view from the window. Being at the back of the hotel, noise levels were low and a good night's sleep was easy. However, who goes to NYC to sleep? The hotel was great for practicality and for price. I'd definitely go back there.

    • Luxurious hotel - New York City
    Luxurious hotel

    150$ - Valet parking : 35$ per day

    The rooms are rather small and dirty. The carpet is stained. The ceiling keeps the tracks of previous water damage (see the photograph). The windows have not been wiped since the construction.

    Arrived at 3PM, we waited 45mn to have a room (and what a room). Management and organization : nil.

    Valet parking : we had to ask for the car 1 hour before taking it. The order had not been transmitted and we waited 20 mn more. Poor service for 35$ per day.

    The major aim of the staff seems to wait for gratuity.

    I recommend this hotel to the people who like adventure.

    • The lift is still being maintained as the original from the 50's era. Imagine riding in a lift with grill gates.

    This is a fantastic hotel to stay in. Its reasonably cheap (if thats possible in NY), good quality accomodation, but the best part is the location - It is right opposite Penn Street station (main underground & amtrak station) and madison square gardens. Plus its only a couple of blocks from times square, macy's and the empire state building.

    This hotel is perfect situated on the 7th avenue. Across the street you have Madison Square garden, Macy´s is just around the corner and also Empire State Building.

    The lobby is nice, but the rooms where ok, but they could have clean them better...(i looked under the bed and there it was garbage and cokecans......). So did other say it was in their rooms to. But anyway, it was ok and the location was perfect.
