• Great location and high quality accommodations.
• Very small rooms & shower. Heat did not work properly.

“This boutique hotel is ideally located in midtown and has a very cool atmosphere thanks to the very popular bar that is frequented by locals and visitors alike. The rooms are clean and elegantly furnished buy they are extremely small even by NYC standards (I could barely fit in the shower). But overall a good experience.”

• The hotel staff did not have its hand out for money every time you asked for something.
• The beds were quite low to the ground; the bathroom size was too small.

“Younger people would like the edgy quality of this hotel, but people needed comfort features would find it lacking. The small size of the bathroom, the low-to-the-floor bed, and the dimness in the room and the hotel, in general, all made it hard on this 60-something traveler. On the positive side, the hotel staff was all knowledgeable and friendly, seemed happy that I was their guest, and did not expect a tip for every bit of advice or service. I found myself being more financially responsive to them, as a result. Good training equals good service equals a good tip, in my traveling experience. My 40-year-old son and 29-year-old daughter were very impressed that I was staying at the Hudson, so it may have been worth any inconvenience just for the bragging rights!”

• Good nightclub/bar.
• No door staff to greet you, open door, call taxis.

“The rooms are incredibly small. If you are a tall person, this may not be the hotel for you.”

• Atmosphere and hotel staff was well above average.
• A bit of a challenge finding the entrance. Not labeled. Lobby dark.

“A very cool vibe permeated this hotel. Although most areas of the lobby / elevator were dark it added to the positive atmosphere. Rooms were small (as would be expected in NYC) but clean and efficient, especially for business travel. Staff was very friendly and helpful.”

• The interior decorations.
• Rude, uncomfortable, unaccommodating.

“This maybe the tenth time I have stayed with a Morgan's Hotel and the worst. All the staff was horribly rude. The restaurant was closed, and not just for the night, the bartender was rude and yelled at us when we wanted a drink. He told us to go somewhere else because he was busy. The bed was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever slept on. The noise from the street was unbearable, and as a result I didn't sleep the entire night. When we said something the next morning the manager just shrugged it off and walked away. I will never stay at a Morgan's Hotel again.”

• Location is excellent. Hotel is new, clean and hip.
• Room size, especially the bathroom is very small.

“Great experience. Loved the location, the staff and the overall hotel amenities. Hotel is clean and new and hip. Staff are courteous and incredibly friendly and helpful. Room size is a negative, especially the bathroom. Bedding, sheets, pillows and comforters were excellent. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will stay there again.”

• Location in Manhattan. Period.
• Very tiny tiny rooms, over-rated, no sound or weather proof windows.

“First glimpse, you think it’s a fancy hotel, but wait till you get to your room. A queen bed with only 2 feet around. That's it. Barely any space to move or even walk through the room. Even the toilet is so small, cannot fit the average adult person. I think if I was taller than 6 feet, or heavier then 250 lbs, I literally would not fit to set on the toilet. The room windows were neither weather, nor noise proof. You can feel the cold breeze come down on the bed, and hear all the emergency vehicles outside, exactly if you were lying sleep on the side of the street. The thermostat was available in the room, but obviously was giving heat only, so when it was on, the room was boiling, and we were caught between the boiling room, and very cold October breeze from the leaky windows to the outside. We had our neighbor in the next room complain of the same issues, the next morning.”

• Location on Columbus Circle was great, IPod charger a good idea - but didn't work.
• Very dark in the lobby, toilet didn't flush well.

“Great location, unusual lobby - dark, but lovely, very small rooms, but well-appointed - IPod charger is nice, shower/tub very small & narrow. Nice (but expensive) bar.”

• Ambiance of public places.
• Smallest hotel room I ever saw.

“Very cool hotel in an excellent location with amazing lobby, courtyard, library bar, restaurant and roof bar.....very small room that looks like a cruise ship room. Excellent service.”

• Beautiful public spaces! great lounges!
• Rooms.

“If you traveling alone, and your 20 to 30 year old...you will love this place! If you are traveling with someone...you will be very cramped.”

• Porsche, hip, and was trendy.
• Bed and towels were terrible.

“The staff was exemplary, polite, efficient and friendly. Any items we had questions on were answered very satisfactorily and promptly. Directions were well-described, easy to follow and everyone we asked was ready with them. My only problem with this hotel was the shoddy towels and beds. If you're going to market yourself as a boutique hotel you need to cover all aspects. The Hudson seemed to spare no expense wowing guests with it's public spaces, they are all fantastic. But as soon as you get off the elevator on a rooms floor you find yourself in a dimly lit hallway with horrible yellow lights illuminating every room's number. It felt like one of those horror flicks where the guests check in and never check out. The room itself was very nice to look at, trim on the amenities but that was expected. The quality of the towels was that of a lesser-starred hotel feeling rough and thin. The bed felt like a pull-out couch apparatus, attached to the wall, concealed by a hip headboard and wooden panels on the sides. The mattress was very thin and both myself & my husband woke up sore and stiff both mornings we were there. I would consider staying there again. I understand you don't get much in NYC as far as space goes, but that's no reason to chintz on quality of room basics for that much money. And I didn't even pay full price, thanks to Priceline. I would have been very disgruntled had I paid the full rate.”

• Hip atmosphere, great location.
• Room was uncomfortably tiny.

“The hotel is in a great location right near Columbus Circle. The lobby and lounges are very hip and elegantly decorated. The room is a joke. Felt like I was on a train. Two people couldn't move at the same time. I've been on cruise ships that have larger bathrooms! The quality of the room is not consistent with a 3.5 star.”

• Nothing at all. The worst hotel that I have stayed in.
• The worst hotel that I have ever stayed in. Non friendly. Non professional. Most uncomfortable and smallest rooms.

“We were extremely disappointed when we got into this hotel. The check in staff was very not friendly. They tried to charge more money, which is not professional. I will not recommend this hotel to anybody. This hotel definitely does not meet the 3.5 star expectations. The most I would give this hotel would be 1 star, as the rooms are like motel rooms.”

• Great location, very unique interior.
• Room was much too small. One can't imagine it.

“Great hotel but the rooms are really much too small. Much much too small. Literally, I almost hit my head on the
TV that is on the wall, as there is not another option of getting out of bed.”

• The decor of the hotel is awesome and the location is great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant and room service is excellent.

“The rooms of the hotel are very cool in design, although they are really (I mean really!) small. The location of the hotel is great however and the food at the restaurant and from room service is excellent. The rooftop bar is a real treasure.”

• Great location and
  excellent staff.
• Rooms very small and lobby was excessively dark.

“Good NYC hotel for tourists who don't expect to spend much time in their room. Hudson is trying to be a modern, funky place - but beyond the front entrance and lobby is just a basic hotel in a great location.”

• The hotel was very clean. There was a lovely atrium outdoors where you could sit.

“The staff was very helpful. The hotel was very clean and well decorated. The hotel rooms were small, but the space was very efficiently used so it was not a problem. Everything was very modern. I did not eat at the hotel, however, the drinks were rather expensive.”

• Beautiful common areas.
• Microscopic room.

“The hotel is in a nice location and the common areas are very nice. It's a hip and trendy location. On the down side, the room was ridiculously small for a 4 star hotel. There was only room for the bed in the sleeping area, no dresser at all. The bathroom was so small that my knees hit the wall when I was on the toilet. In fact, I had to spread my knees apart to fit and I'm only 5' 11". Luckily we only stayed one night.”

• Nice bar.
• Rooms were the smallest I've ever seen - even for NYC or San Francisco.

“Hotel is modern and has a upscale, pricey bar to match. The rooms are ridiculously small and make you feel more like on a bad cruise than in a supposedly 3 star hotel. This hotel ranks with budget hotels. The public hallways are dimly lit, dingy looking.”

• The staff was friendly and helpful.
• The rooms were absurdly small for a 3 star hotel. The were dorms rooms not hotel rooms.

“Rooms were absurdly small. They were smaller then cabins on a ship. The bed was uncomfortable and low. The beds actually caused soreness the next day. Hotel halls were dark and unfriendly. Bathroom was so small, that there was approx. only 6 inches in front of the toilet. Staff and security was friendly and helpful.”

• Lobby and outdoor lounge are quite attractive.
• Room was extremely small, sparse and uncomfortable. Certainly NOT 3.5 stars!

“Staff was pleasant and friendly, and the lounge was nice, but I would never stay there again. Rooms inadequate, much too small and uncomfortable. Not extremely clean. Very unpleasant stay, overall. Also, interestingly, there is no sign outside the hotel to indicate it is there.”

• The staff was friendly and the group areas were very attractive.
• The room was exceptionally small and dark. It was the tiny, dark bathroon, however, that I found unacceptable.

“The location was excellent. My daughter and I were able to walk to Broadway, Central Park, Lincoln Center, and a variety of other points of interest with no difficulty. However, the small, poorly lit hallways, the cramped room and minuscule bathroom were a real negative. I cannot imagine bringing my whole family to this hotel. Since my teenage daughter and I spent so little time at the hotel, we found the accommodations acceptable.”

• Trendy and fashion oriented. Nice lobby. Fashion.
• Poor rooms, small, old and not clean. Small rooms. Small.

“Great hotel for local party and fashion meeting. Nice people every evening. But for leisure, for traveling it is not good as expected. Rooms are really small. Hard to move inside the small beds. The bathroom is really a square meter. Even if its is very interior design supply. Very nice, very fashion, but really small!”

• noisy, especially when room is overlooking internal yard

“It is the second time I stay here. I like the location, relative cleanliness and good service. I don't appreciate the loud music playing after 5pm until 11:30 pm, way too loud. Bar is quite expensive and kitschy, but interesting.”

• Room was small, light bulbs out and deadlock broken in half.

“This hotel has amazing public areas but terrible rooms. My room had one small light that worked and a deadbolt that had been broken in half by a prior customer - I had to wait several hours for staff to replace the dead light bulbs in the other 2 lamps and the deadbolt and only received service after explaining that I could not stay up all night waiting since I had to leave for the hospital at 5:30 am the next day for my mother's cancer surgery.”

• The room size, bathroom size, and dark hall ways.

“Over all the location made up some for the very small size room. The other comments listed regarding the size of room were on point. Yet if your looking for a great location and do not plan to spend any time in the hotel this hotel will work great.”

• The sky terrace is the most amazing place to relax, talk, entertain, etc.
• The room and bathroom were smaller than most.

“This hotel is perfect for the 20-30 something market. The bar onsite seems to be quite popular. We arrived and had to walk by a line of people waiting in the street and bouncers wearing ear pieces (very CIA). The entrance and welcome was a bit off-putting, but once a staff member attended to us, he was very friendly. The room felt like what I imagine a cruise ship room to be like. The most unexpected part was that the shower wall was a window looking onto the bed (and visa versa)!”

“Cool hotel, great location. Rooms booked through
pricelie are for 2 people max- we were traveling with a child and were not able to use the room we booked online due to the legal max occupancy of 2. The hotel upgraded us to a bigger room at a reasonable price, and were very accommodating. It was a bummer to have to pay extra, as our budget was tight, but at least we got a room.”

• Rooms way too small, prices at hotel $.

“Had read about the size of rooms, but figured we weren't really going to be in them...They are so small we had trouble getting into our suitcase. My husband is 6'4" and had trouble in the bathroom because his legs hit the wall. We all thought it was funny(the first 3 days). Location is great, right near Columbus Circle. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. Would stay again for the great price.”

• The staff was friendly and helpful.
• Our room faced a courtyard with a club that was quite loud.

“The rooms are incredibly small. We were upgraded 2x and still our room was hard to maneuver. There was construction on the floor above us, a loud club outside our window that went very late at night and there was hair in the bathtub. There are no amenities in the room. The staff was the best part of the experience, without their excellent service, I would have had a horrible experience.”

• Cramped, little privacy, thin walls, rude service.

“There wasn't enough space to even open my luggage in the room. I was constantly hitting the suspended TV as I was getting out of bed. Took over two hours to get my bags and the doorman slammed the door when he wasn't tipped. I had to call down to front desk twice to get extra blankets. Very cramped and rude service.”

• Our room was a shoebox - drinks at bar overpriced.
