The next two installments cover my time between two trips. I returned to New York on Saturday, while Ford and I were headed to the Azores and Italy on Tuesday (he would meet me in New York on Monday). So I decided to hang around New York for a few days. New York is usually…

Bathroom designs like this always make me paranoid I'll knock something off the shelves into the toilet.

This hotel is a Cat 5, right? I don't think NYC has ANY lower than that. $117(even plus huge NYC taxes) is a much better deal than 25K WOH points.
Interesting property. Thx.

Lucky, you gotta up your NYC bargains game! Hilton commonly has affiliation rates (MVP, AAA, AARP, etc.) at $100 or less in the winter. At decent hotels. I think my "record" for this winter was a $92 AAA rate at the Hilton Times Square for a nice 300+ sq. ft. king room. on a friday night.

I stay here often and it's fine... but breakfast quality is down a lot in the last 6 months. And they no longer comp the gratuity for globalists on breakfast which seems chintzy.

This hotel does have 2 suites but they never upgrade anyone (even Globalists with upgrade certificates) into them. You should have checked out the rooftop deck--has a stunning view of nearby ESB.

For $117, I suppose it's fine but honestly it looks very industrial and institutional. If it wasn't for the large TV and the en-suite bathroom I would have guessed it was a college dormitory. It has that same look-and-feel. Very basic-economy looking.

At least the door doesn't hit the bed when you open it - I was convinced that the roos were going to be that small. Nice to see that they're actually functional and not totally claustrophobic, albeit still small.

Book a Manhattan View room for window views of the Empire State Building. Usually $30-$50 more than the standard room. At $117 for a standard room the upgrade is a good value.

I really like this hotel in terms of its value proposition. Also, I disagree about the location being not great--it's one block from Koreatown, close (but not too close) to Penn Station, and not near Times Square.

I have stayed at this hotel for weeks at a time due to its proximity to my office. Yes, they have two suites and yes as a Globalist I often got upgraded - If you get to know the Front desk manager and call them before arrival. I will also say since the rooms are tiny and close together ALL noises are heard.

I am perplexed by your review . There is nothing redeeming about this property . The views are appalling ,the noise attrition unacceptable ,no recognition of Globalist's, breakfast inedible and service flippant .I stayed for one night and checked out the next morning and moved to the Renaissance Mid town and the difference in sleep quality and service was considerable.

We stayed here Friday night, July 14th. Excellent Stay. We were in room 1408 and there was no noise whatsoever, back side of the hotel. There wasn't much of a view, but it's New York and I'm ok with that. The rooftop bar was AMAZING! That alone is worth the stay at this property. Do NOT miss this if you stay at this hotel.

We had a lovely stay - it was only one night due to normal AA travel issues and storms in the city, but it was a great option and good location. I would stay again and the staff was friendly. Right after check in the neighbors next door were very banging something against the wall. We went downstairs and asked to be moved and the staff accommodated us immediately without issue and moved our bags for us without delay so we could continue our sight-seeing activities. We had a great experience.
