  • The hotel location is great - close to Times Square, the Theatre District and the shopping areas.
  • Newspapers and morning coffee were not complimentary.

“I was very pleased with the hotel location. It is within walking district of many key areas. Their service was also very good. The room was smaller than ever anticipated (even after reading reviews from other customers). Don't expect any privacy from anyone sharing your room. This was not a big deal for me or my wife since we were not in the room except to sleep. Still, this could be an issue for customers that need space.”

  • Modern, clean, but sparse.
  • Rooms were very small - no place to hang clothes.

“Stay hotel was definitely in the right area for us. The rooms were tiny, and some had no place to hang your clothes. They were clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also tiny, but the shower worked well.”

  • Location - heart of Theater district.
  • Too few elevators, minuscule room size, and there were no ice machine.

“For a Priceline price, this hotel is a great place to stay if you want to be in the very heart of the Theatre district, and if you want to spend no time in the room. Room size is smaller than tiny, and forget trying to get an elevator. Get a high floor, so you can have first shot at a down elevator without it being full by the time it gets to a lower floor. No ice machine. Buy ice elsewhere before you go back to the room. The restaurant will deliver ice to you after you call 5 times and wait over an hour.”

“Because of it's close proximity to Times Square/Broadway this is an excellent, clean, relatively inexpensive,hotel for an overnight stay if you are in New York on business or to see a play.”

  • Very close to subways, dining, Times Square.
  • Staff was
    unfriendly, small rooms.

“The decor is very modern, the bed is very comfortable, there was always someone to open the door when we needed to exit the lobby, but that's where the good qualities stop. The room was incredibly small. We had to climb over the bed to get around. The cleaning crew came once- and didn't change the towels or tidy the bed. The staff at the front desk were unfriendly. Internet was advertised as free, but we discovered this was only true in the lobby or business center with a password. If you want to use WiFi in your room, its ten dollars a day. Definitely not worth the money.”

  • Extremely convenient to Times Square.
  • The room was the smallest room I have ever stayed in.

“Hotel is very trendy; it is newly remodeled. The staff is possibly the most helpful staff I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Hotel is very clean and everything is readily available. My only complaint is the room, in which I stayed, was the smallest room that I have ever stayed in. It was a 12 X 12 square with a small bathroom off of it. To access the sink in the bath room fully, I had to close the bathroom door. It was fine since I was by my self but if more than one person was traveling, it would have been impossible. Besides the room size, the experience was fantastic.”

  • The location.
  • This was the smallest hotel room I've ever seen! The small bed barely fit in the room.

“This was the smallest hotel room I've ever seen - and I'm an experienced traveler, with many trips to NY. The bed was so small that my partner (who is 6'2") barely fit. And the bed barely fit into the room. The door couldn't open fully without hitting the bed. If we'd had luggage, there would have been nowhere to put it. Good thing we were traveling with just two small backpacks for a single-night stay. That said, the room was clean, the TV was nice, and the location was great. The staff was nice, though they seemed over-worked and distracted. But there really should be a warning about the room size. The front desk told me that the larger rooms were not available.”

  • I enjoyed the well maintained lobby, and the helpful, friendly staff.
  • The elevator was rather small.

“I enjoyed my stay in this hotel very much. It was well worth the price. My room had a king size bed, it was spacious, had a large bathroom, a closet with a safe. The staff was friendly, they answered all of my questions, and were always helpful, and on hand. Even though they're doing construction on their restaurant, there are many places to eat within minutes of the hotel.”

  • The location was great. Right next to the Diamond District and Time Square.
  • It is under remodeling and the workers like to start early (July 08).

“The rooms are small but not for New York. It was a 10' x 10' room with a double bed. If all your looking for is a place to sleep in between enjoying all that New York has to offer. This is a great place to stay. Once they get the remodeling done it is going to be a very nice hotel.”

  • Closeness to shops.
  • Thin walls and loud noises.

“The hotel was very convenient in regards to shops and location. However, the room was tiny; only enough room for a bed and bathroom. Although the room was clean there was construction in the hotel so there was no elevator. The nose was ungodly and started pretty early in the morning. The maids slammed the doors all morning and the guests slammed the doors all night. I would not recommend this hotel if you actually want to sleep during your stay. The room was spotless and nicely decorated but it was small and noisy.”

  • I thought the hotel was comfortable for the price. Rooms were clean with flat screen TV.
  • The hotel was still being renovated, so it wasn't very attractive in some of the public spaces. The elevators are way to slow. I found it odd that.

“The hotel is good for money. Great location and very clean. The elevators are too slow, so I used the stairs; thank god I was on the 3rd floor. Also, I found it odd that I was never asked if I needed transportation. I noticed other people being asked all the time. Overall, nice hotel.”

  • Rooms were small but comfortable.
  • Worst Lifts ever encountered. Hotel Renovation in progress.

“The Quality Hotel is a perfectly adequate base for any New York Trip. It is generally comfortable and clean without any frills. The Staff are Helpful. It is ideally located near Time Square and within easy walking distance of shops, Broadway theatres, restaurants and the other essential NY experiences. The hotel is currently under renovation leading to some dust problems and really slowing down the elevators. Despite the minor inconveniences endured I would happily return in the future.”

“Hotel is in great location. Rooms are fairly small but were adequate and clean for the purpose of my trip (to visit prospective colleges with son). Anyone planning for extended stay or to spend any significant time in room might find rooms too small. I would stay there again, although the errors with my bill are a bit of a concern there was a problem upon checkout.”

“There are many things you can forgive about a hotel for example, the lack of restaurant or room service. However, was it is completely intolerable is that the hotel is under construction and nobody tells you that in advance. On Thursday night I went to sleep at 4 am finishing a presentation for a client and they woke me up at 8 am with an incredibly loud construction noise.”

“Reserved and was charged for a queen bed, but it was a full size. Manager insisted it was really a queen. The tiny rooms may make the beds look bigger, but my feet would not extend past the bottom of a real queen. The person checking out next to me had the same problem. May be a good choice if you're short (and don't mind waiting a long time for elevators).”

I reported this problem twice, I was very disappointed with the lack of courtesy.

  • Elevators were very inconvenient and slow.

“The room was so small that I had to walk sideways to get to the niche that substituted for a closet to hang up my coat. There was no place to unpack into and Im sure they only had plasma TVs because that was the only ones that could possibly fit in the room. There were two elevators at opposite ends of the hallway and I don't know how a single traveler would be able to tell which one arrived. Also, on the first trip up in one of the elevators, four people with luggage were too much weight and two people had to wait for another elevator. (Probably why it took so long for the elevators to arrive.).”
