Travel Inn

Initially they gave me a room for smokers although I had requested one (even calling them by phone) for non smokers. They promptly changed my room. The stuff was courteous.

This hotel is only a couple blocks from Times Square, central bus stop and Subway. Incase you are driving then the hotel also has Free parking. The rooms were spacious and clean. The price was also reasonable compared to other hotels.

I've been to NY many times & rarely stay in the same hotel. I don't know if I would stay here again either. We got to the hotel @ 1:30 & figured we'd be able to check in as according to my paperwork check in was @ 2...well the front desk told us we couldn't check in til 3. We had people to meet up w/so it kind of threw a wrench in our plans...of freshening up. None of us really slept because the beds were pretty hard...if u like that you will probably sleep like a baby. :) When our room was cleaned she took all of our towels & never gave us new ones so we had to call housekeeping to get some. It's not a bad hotel it was just a lil further west then I was expecting...forgot how long NY city blocks are. There also isn't a safe in the room. I didn't like carrying around all the things I needed to but also didn't feel comfortable w/leaving it in the room.

The most comparative advantage of the hotel is location and its surrounding at affordable rates.

staff at the desk was great, maid service not so good. Maid walked in Sunday morning @ 8:30 without knocking or announcing herself. Good thing we were dressed. Otherwise are stay was great.

It was fine except we were trapped in an elevator for about 5 minutes.

This hotel is a good value for staying in Manhattan. In 99% of the country it's probably a $40-$50 room, but compared to the rest of the city, it's a bargain. Stayed with my family of 4 for one night and it was fine, especially since we drove in late and they offer free parking for the night. The room/bathroom were small and the beds were a bit stiff, but I was happy to save the $200-$300 we would have paid for any other place.

This was not good---judging from my other new york experiences this was too too much-----bathroom tiny!!!!! one chair for 4 people-----no coffee in the morning!!!!!!!! had to ask for bath towels for 4 and glasses as well====my part of the hotel connected to the parking area

If you plan on staying for a night and want a cheap hotel, this hotel will fit your needs. However, the bathrooms are very small, the beds are pretty hard, there weren't any vending machines on our floor, it is across from a police station so you have to consider the noise level. Other than that, free parking and the parking garage attendant was cool. The front desk was friendly. We liked the location a lot, easy to hail a cab and even close enough to walk to Rockafeller Plaza. We stayed for the night to go to Live with Kelly & Michael. It was only a $10 cab ride to the studio from this hotel. Overall, the beds could've been better and I think that's my only gripe. The location was pretty great. Would stay there again if it was just overnight.

The room was nice, better than other NYC hotels that I've stayed in. It was clean & had great amenities. There was a back door that led to the pool, very convenient, but did not use because of cold weather. There was a kiosk at the lobby to buy tickets for shows & sightseeing trips.
