    • I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! Rooms are small and dirty, the whole hotel is dirty. They say there's a complimentary breakfast, well, you are going to find last month's bread and milk. I put some milk in my coffee and you woudln't believe it, it was yellow!
    When we arrived, we were given a one bed room, but the reservation was for the three of us!!! After having argued for one hour, we were finally given a two beds room....

    • This is a boutique hotel, located on 55th Street near Broadway. It is hence well-located for both the theatre as well as shopping.

    The rooms are brightly lit and pleasant, the deco is funky with bright coloured walls and pop-art pictures of Marilyn Monroe. The bathroom is small but no complaints otherwise. The walls, unfortunately, are too thin - my first morning I was entertained while in the shower by the amorous activities of the couple in the room next door.

    The service left very much to be desired. Reception was staffed by curt, unhelpful individuals. There was also an unpleasant incident after my departure - I was supposed to receive a package during my stay, I was told it had not arrived by the time I checked out. I asked the inarticulate receptionist to simply reject the package on its arrival. My correspondent informed me after I got home that the package had indeed been received by the hotel during my stay. She attempted to contact the hotel to find out what happened and was treated to a screaming tirade which left her in tears. It took a half-an-hour long international phone call on my part before someone confessed that the package had been signed for and received during my stay but had been dumped in a store room.

    Stay: Jun 6-9, 2006.

    I was a bit aprehensive as I read the reviews on this and others sites.

    However, I read a few good reviews too, and I could not find any other good deal in a decent area of the city. I get a junior-suite room as in the meantime I decided and finish my booking all the standard rooms were sold out. Even this was not so expensive as other hotels in the area.

    If you need a big and luxuriuos hotel lobby, room service, amenities, internet access in your room, cable TV etc. This is NOT your place. BUT, are you going to visit NYC to spend your time in the hotel??

    My room size was OK, in fact much bigger than expected for its price in a expensive city like NY. Very clean and stylish. Tiny but clean bathroom. AC was a bit noisy. Wiews: dirty buiding in front. Nice common room at the second floor to have a cofee, check the email (free wireless, or pay to use a PC there), or just relax reading a book or magazine (for some reason there were many magazines and books in Japanese)

    The best of this hotel was the location, having a clean place to sleep (just a little) in the heart of Mahattan!

    I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at the Moderne. The nice-sized room was spotless...the king bed "heavenly." The all-marble bath was as nice as hotels I've stayed at 3 times the price. Lots of steaming hot water too. With just a few rooms per floor the halls were quiet. Yes the elevator is a bit slow but, with only 7 floors I never had a long wait. The phone had a data port and voicemail....and there was a CD player at bedside. Also there's a nice coffee lounge on the second floor, overlooking 55th St.
    The Moderne isn't fancy and there are a few very minor signs of wear. But at the great rate I found thru Hotels.com it was an uncommon value for NYC. And to be just 2-3 blocks from most theatres, numerous restaurants, and two subway stations....I'll be back!

    The staff is what made my stay outstanding. The two young men who alternate at the front desk could not have been more helpful. They really came through was when NYC experienced a serious cold wave just as I was checking in for my 4-day stay. The "high" that day was 4 degrees..with wind-chills at minus ten. I phoned the desk because the room was chilly and, within 15 minutes, the day engineer arrived to adjust the heating unit and clean its filter. But that didn't seem to help so I called the front desk again. In less than an hour someone knocked at my door with a newly purchased portable radiator. Yes, they had actually sent someone out to get this one just for me.

  • Directions: Great location - almost around the corner from Carnegie Hall, 1/2 block to Broadway, 3 blocks to Central Park. Also, less than a block away, is the Ed Sullivan Theatre where they tape David Letterman's show.
