Image of the Tripadvisor rating lower floor room is terrible, no view and super noisy cant sleep at all! truly a nightmare

location is great, but I got a lower floor room on the 7th floor - trust me it's a complete nightmare. fire engines, police siren, all sorts of trucks and car noises.. just impossible to have some peaceful time, let alone to sleep. worst was I was travelling with a kid, he kept waking up by all sorts of noises as well. I requested for a higher… Read more

This hotel was a major letdown and not worth the money. The air conditioner in our original room didn’t work, so we were moved — but the new room did not have the city view or the king-size bed I paid for. The bed was noticeably smaller, and there was no view at all. To make matters worse, the front entrance was constantly surrounded by people who… Read more
This hotel was a major letdown and not worth the money. The air conditioner in our original room didn’t work, so we were moved — but the new room did not have the city view or the king-size bed I paid for. The bed was noticeably smaller, and there was no view at all. To make matters worse, the front entrance was constantly surrounded by people who appeared to be dealing drugs and loitering, creating an unsafe and uncomfortable atmosphere for guests. It did not feel secure walking in or out. On top of that, the elevator service was awful — we often waited 10 minutes or more just to go up or down. Completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one charging these rates. The only positive thing I can say is that the hotel staff was friendly and tried to be helpful, but that doesn’t make up for how poorly run and poorly maintained the property is. I will never stay here again and strongly suggest others look elsewhere. Read less

Mi wife and I recently visited NYC and stayed at this hotel (July 2025). The location of this hotel is just great! Very convenient. Also, the staff was awesome! Despite the rooms are so tiny, they are OK. Nevertheless, in my opinion, this hotel has 4 big issues: 1. The breakfast buffet cost/benefit is poor. Definitely, it could be improved by a lot. 2. The two elevators are too small. They are used for both service and guests. Sometimes one has to stand in line to use them. If you are in a rush, it could be a big hassle. The hotel warns us for this situation, so I guess it is OK (we just have to take this into account). 3. The beds were infested by mites. I consider this to be a serious health concern. We returned home with many mite lesions. 4. This is the worst issue: there is a small public area at the very hotel entrance that is full of messy local people, who are loitering, smoking weed 24/7, cursing, shouting, spitting on the floor, fighting each others, and bothering women walking by. We spotted Hotel Security Staff presence, they are always surveying these people. But still the situation feels uncomfortable. In summary, this hotel should be for once in the lifetime visit only.

My brother and I stayed here for two nights while in New York City. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Penn Station and has a great central location. Our room was quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable with four pillows on each bed. Some shady people hung out in front of the hotel, but they do have a security guard that hangs out in the front entrance. No breakfast is available, but there is a restaurant on site. The bathroom was very closely located to one of the beds. The door on the bathroom was sliding and did not shut all the way, which made it a bit awkward. Read less

We had a decent experience at this Holiday Inn. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Broadway theaters, restaurants, and major attractions. Though still small, our room was surprisingly spacious for NYC standards, very clean, and had a comfortable bed. The décor was modern, and the bathroom was updated with a clean, sleek design.

We had a decent experience at this Holiday Inn. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Broadway theaters, restaurants, and major attractions. Though still small, our room was surprisingly spacious for NYC standards, very clean, and had a comfortable bed. The décor was modern, and the bathroom was updated with a clean, sleek design. We appreciated the in-room amenities like the Keurig coffee maker, mini-fridge, safe, and workspace. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth. The AC worked well, though the fan was a little loud, and the actual temperature felt warmer than the thermostat setting. The biggest downsides were the tiny, slow elevators and the somewhat sketchy and loud people loitering outside the entrance, which could feel a bit uncomfortable at times. Still, for the price and location, it was a great value. We’d consider staying here again for a quick, convenient NYC trip. Read less
