Love IHG brand! Quick trip for the Knicks game and a great price. Literally a few short steps to Msg, Herald Square and major eats and shopping. The only small annoyance is the elevator. There is only one and there are multiple floors.The housekeeping , staff uses the elevator during check in, which can have you waiting for 10 minutes or so to get to your floor. But that was the only small thing besides no in room fridge or microwave. But there is a nice area downstairs to sit and eat. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay. Staff were courteous and helpful, breakfast was busy and full, but was really nice none the less to have available. Easy walking to Penn station, MSG. Lots of food options. Elevators were not always available due to some maintenance needed; however, this wasnt a huge issue. We will def be back!

Check-in desk first gave us the wrong room. The Jets in the tub did not work and there were some black dirt around the tub. Elevator was a little scary in that it would bounce if they were a few people in it at one time.

The hotel is very clean and modern, the breakfast is excellent. The only thing is that there are hardly any tables inside and in winter the tables outside are very cold. The double room is small but the bathroom is excellent. For the New York area it is very good.
