Good hotel and nice welcome in the lobby by the staff and quick check-in, although same area had building work going on was not aware of, and bar was a little small with disinterested staff (considering how expensive a drink was). Room was ok but aged - battered air con unit, bathroom tap did not work properly either. The nice big comfy bed was good. Overall decent value versus other hotels in the same area I'd looked at. Is 2 mins walk from Times Square and all the tourist bits so certainly useful for that.

The place is old and run down in the rooms. We had to move rooms, due to A/C was not working and the 2nd room looked the same old and run down. It wasn’t what I was expecting by the pictures. I will say false advertisement.

Rooms are not very good. Bathrooms are super tiny and sitting on the toilet is weird. The shower in my room flooded the bathroom because the curtain didn't do anything. It also feels like a prison bathroom. The room itself feels more like a hostel or dingy hotel. There was a 'service fee' that is just a waste of money and a scam. I was told it was for water, gym, bar, wifi, and restaurant. Wi-Fi is free. Water is just a water filter on the 4th floor. You get nothing from the bar and if you don't use the gym it's not worth it. Just a money grab. They also charge $2 an hour to hold luggage. I've never stayed in a hotel that does that. Oh, the safe didn't work either. They sell you on the property with the picture of the lobby which is ok. But I'm regards to the room itself, the only good things are a comfy bed, good wifi, and the TV works with Chromecast but the room itself is not so bueno. I've stayed here many times before while Mom business and it hasn't changed. If you need a place to stay for a day or two, I guess it's fine. But any longer?.. oh man... It gets rough. I would recommend for a quick stop with a decent rate except for the lame service fee and luggage hold fee. But that's about it.

The most basic room setup without an iron too. But it was easy checking in. For an overnight stay it’s not bad. I think the premium stay prices are definitely New York prices. Pretty much just paying for the location for being in the city center.

Not the best stay I’ve had in New York. Should’ve stuck with my usual hotel. Catfished by the pictures online, AC wasn’t working the first day, room service only FLIPPED sheets and called it a day. Toiletries like toilet paper was never added after the first night. Having to pay extra for luggage storage. All a mess.

If you love theatres, this hotel is perfect. It is surrounded by theatres. It is near time square as well as a lot of restaurants. The hotel has a very small room adequate if you will not hang out at the room but just to sleep the night and freshen up. The elevators are so slow. The place is old and looks outdated.

Hotel didn't hold my reservation. Offered me $80 off first night to stay in room without functioning A/C, but the offer was bogus. The facility charge showed up on my credit card, the discount never did. I said that I should not be charged at all for the first night and the manager agreed--but it was just to placate. Criminally dishonest.

We knew the hotel would be under renovation, but it is beautiful. The location is right around the corner from Times Square. There’s a cute café attached and other great dining options. Our AC didn’t work. It wasn’t very hot the first night and we were too tired to pack back up and ask for a change of rooms, but we should’ve asked to change rooms because by the last night, it was really hot and the AC leaked water all over our luggage.

The pictures do not accurately represent the hotel. This is a classic bait and switch. The bars and game tables advertised do not exist. The lobby is undergoing major construction, making it very unpleasant. The rooms are dilapidated and desperately need a refresh. The pillows are excessively worn, and the wall-mounted air conditioner is very loud and difficult to operate. This is a 2-star hotel at best. The resort fee is unjustified since there is no resort, just a minimally equipped, depressing workout closet. I have requested a refund. Expedia needs to remove these misleading pictures and stop promoting this hotel.

The hotel is in a very central location for theatres, Times Square and the city, however the reception area and lift lobby were very dark and the bar area was devoid of atmosphere, long and dreary with disinterested unfriendly staff. The hotel is faded grandeur and reliant on the previous reputation and were upgrading the reception area. The room we stayed in was shabby but clean and incredibly noisy with mechanical noise through the air con. We moved rooms on the 3rd night to a room of equal standard which was cleaner, fresher decor and no noise, therefore AVOID room 703. The day reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The French cafe is a concession buisness and the only one in the hotel for breakfast, very nice staff but it is extremely expensive and they tried to pass off Liptons yellow tea bags as English breakfast tea and told us that it the favourite tea of the British!

Rooms are small, but clean. Staff very attentive and responsive. Rudy checked us in and was wonderful. Some construction in the area and work also being done inside the hotel is unattractive. Elevators are teeny, but there are several and they work well. Good location near the heart of Times Square, which, of course, makes for noisy nights.

The location is great. Very convenient to where we wanted to be. The rates were very reasonable and the room itself was fine. The beds were comfortable. Our air conditioning didn't work at all. It was 72 in the room the entire time. We were not provided any wash cloths. The lobby has a weird stale maple syrup and knock off drakkar noir smell. The entire property has a weird "Eyes Wide Shut" vibe. But I'm not sure how much of that is from being between two cults and how much is the dark lighting and weird pictures. Despite the Expedia listing saying we were paying fees and taxes we were charged another $120 "facility fee" at check in.

Our first room was smelling fishy then they changed it to a better room. I didn’t like few things about the Hotel: 1- Reception is too dark/ low light 2- I couldn’t reach the reception or the house keeping service to get a blanket. They never picked our calls at night. I had to wakeup at 6 am to go and ask for a blanket myself. 3- The ice machine wasn’t working 4- There was construction work in the Lobby area. It was too noisy even in the early morning the music was very loud.

This hotel is low budget but across from The Marquis Theatre. The entrance is sort of a non event and you will pass it if you are not paying attention. Tried to check in before seeing a Broadway show and they had nothing available. Was able to check in smoothly after show and dinner. They charge an extra resort fee and offer a $5 discount on drinks in the dark lobby. This hotel has no washcloths, irons, small fridge or thick blankets in the room. Got a double room and had to crank up the heat because the “blankets” were so thin. It’s New York City so it’s noisy and I was on the 10th floor. This is an expensive no frills hotel and I honestly do not recommend it. They get away with this mess because it’s in the theatre district. Just pay a little extra and stay at the The Marquis.
