Top Manhattan Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

8/10 Good

"OK - when I go to NYC to visit my son, I just need a bed to sleep in, a shower to wash up in, and a convenient location to be in the city. This hotel filled those needs. I am not looking for the hotel to be the center of my vacation, but basically a location that I can crash and refuel for the next day. I would love to have a free breakfast in the morning and this would have given it a 5 star rating, but the small hotels that I stay in in NYC are just convenient bed rooms to me. Yes, I need clean. Yes, I need comfort. Yes, I need quiet. Those are things that are basics that without, this hotel's ratings would have fallen off a cliff, but like I said, my needs are very little on a hotel in NYC. Give me those items at a descent price and you will get 4 stars. If you want to hit all the tourist hot spots in NYC, then park yourself in midtown at a hotel like this and save some money and wake up early and go to bed late, this hotel is perfect. Rooms are small (but I don't care because I am a solo traveler). So please note I rate on my own needs and whether they are being met. Solo traveler or couple wanting a place to just sleep, this hotel will meet your needs. If you are looking for the Ritz, then stay at the Ritz. If you want to save money and don't mind small hotels that provide only the basics because you don't need anything else, then this is the place. CLEAN, COMFORTABLE, QUIET. Bingo you found your match."

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Location was FABULOUS! Perfect location in the theater district if you're seeing a show, around the corner from Times Square. This did lend to noisy nights on the street but nothing that prevented sleep. Room had 2 queens and more space than I thought we'd have. Gym was fully equipped and clean. Breakfast options as part of the $20 per person per day resort fee ("free to-go" or inexpensive sit-down eggs, toast, hashbrowns, coffee) were great. Security was solid-had to show hotel room key pass in order to get to elevators and had to swipe key pass in order to go up elevator. Very safe area with lots of restaurants and shops. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Cost was reasonable on Hotels.com especially considering location. We did the free walking tour of Rockefeller Center and Times Square that left out of the hotel lobby. It was great! It was 60 minutes, not a long walk, but interesting and did I mention, free! We also did a 2 private tour with Broadway Up Close called "Hamil Tour" for $83 pp. Two tiny complaints were that check-in was at 3:00 and our room wasn't ready until 3:15 and there was not a lot of surface space to put toiletries and no shelves/dressers to unpack. Tips: -There's a parking garage right diagonally across the street (259 W 47th) that we booked ahead thru SpotHero. -I checked on the price for the room 3 days before our arrival and it was $240 cheaper so I cancelled the first booking and rebooked at the cheaper price. Yay, Hotels.com!"

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location and very nice lobby. Room was clean but a bit tired. Nice Lincoln Center views from our 11th fl room. The deluxe room is worth it for the larger size. Very tiny but functional bathroom. Peeling paint in areas. A/C was very weak. Pool on the roof is a bit of a joke. The size of a large bathtub. A decent hotel for the money, but definitely feels like a 3 star property rather than 4 star."
