All of the staff are very helpful and accommodating to our needs. Lots of bottled water on hand and passing it out. It’s only 2 blocks to the subway station! Breakfast had a variety from eggs or omelette to toast, fruit, and cereal. I would stay here again if back in NYC.

Service, location excellent, clean room with good air con, shower ok. Some rooms dated and need refurb! Booked 2 rooms. First on IHG rewards, very poor! Second paid $250/night (not worth it) but it was refurbed, larger and nicer. Both rooms had a comfortable bed and Air Con worked well. Breakfast appalling (dry, just yuk compared to the many IHG Hol Inn Express hotels I've stayed in around the globe... This was the worst breakfast !!!). But plenty of eating/drinking places in area. 10 mins walk to Empire State Building, Times Square, Library, Coach/Bus and Subway stations, Easy to get to from JFK (Air Train to Jamica Station, then direct to Penn Station subway, then easy 10 min walk. Apx 30 min...Direct subway to Ferry South (Statue of Liberty Ferry Port area cost apx $3), not far from (unimpressive compared to London) China Town. Ground Zero about 10-15 min walk from South Ferry Port (there are other stations nearer if you wan to go direct to Ground Zero and Museum next door (both excellent). Read less

Our stay was SUPERB!!! Awesome location! 10 minute walk to the Broadway shows. The room was clean with a great view of the Empire State Building. Staff and customer service was top notch. Will definitely stay here again!
