Great staff

Although we were "upgraded" to a king suite that didn't have the second bed we wanted, the bed was so comfortable and the pillows nice and firm that we decided against changing the room. We were on the 14th floor, so the water pressure was a little weak, but still fine. There isn't a printer to print out your boarding pass, but there's a Fed-Ex next door to supply the absence. The room was really spacious, esp. for NYC, and the kitchen was perfect for heating up a quick meal. I'll definitely stay there again.

Short Stay

Great value for what we were charged and we extended one night at more than double the original price. Very clean rooms w/very helpful staff. Convenient midtown location and appreciated the $25/day parking garage around the corner since we drove on this trip. Pleasant and, actually, very good restaurants within easy walking distance. Easy to get a cab. Stayed in room #610 which actually had a view over a courtyard as opposed to the brick facade of the rear of another building.

excellent value, good location

this was perfect for our weekend stay - well located for our activities & close to Grand Central subway; friendly staff, clean, and lots of room (living room, kitchen, bedroom & bathroom). Not the most modern but perfectly fine for us - or a family.

Great value

This was an amazing value for New York City. I had a large light-filled studio apartment with a kitchen (range, microwave, small fridge, sink), queen bed, living area, flat-screen tv, and bath. The decor is dated, the carpet needs replacing, and the bed was just okay, but the staff was friendly and helpful and everything was clean. It's not in a touristy location, but the area felt safe and buses and subway are nearby. All in all, a great value.

Nice and affordable

Great location, very quiet and clean hotel. Decor is little bit old but very clean, good choice if all you're looking for is location, location, location. Hotel crew was very accommodating and polite, no wi-fi included but only $7.95 for 24 hrs. Definitely, would stay there again.

Park Avenue Tavern is only 2 blocks away (corner of 39th st. and Park Ave.) is great for happy hours. The food and music are also very good.
