Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price I had a very bad experience at this hotel. The room was in poor condition, and the service was even worse. There seemed to be only one person working—most likely a student—who was doing their best but clearly had no guidance or supervision. There was no manager on site to help or direct them, which made the whole situation feel unprofessional and chaotic. Despite room cleaning being included, our room was never cleaned during our stay. When I called the front desk to ask why we didn’t receive fresh towels or any cleaning, I was told—very rudely—that I should come down and get the towels myself. That kind of response is completely unacceptable. Overall, this hotel is absolutely not worth the price. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Staff was very nice and welcoming, area itself wasn’t bad and about a 15 minute walk to broadway and such. However it was under construction in places, which okay fine things need to be done totally get that. The elevator was questionable. Everytime you got on it felt like you stepping into it was going to make it break. Gaps on doors and the door frame, and the top little lock thing didn’t close. Furniture has seen better days. The remote didn’t work for our tv. The bathroom was beat up, stains in the bathtub. Hopefully during the renovations they are doing they’ll be doing rooms as well because they desperately need it. It was okay for an overnight but they desperately need to fix up the rooms.

Low budget hotel, decent location.

Hotel currently under renovations, very basic rooms that could be cleaner. The only breakfast offered is toast. Single elevator is very slow. Decent location to midtown and Hudson yards but would not stay again.

The hotel was pretty much disgusting. The elevator smelled like straight up weed and then it stopped working, so we had to walk down 11 floors of stairs with a messed up knee

Great location and very accommodating staff. There was someone banging on the walls our last night (no fault to the staff) that caused us some issues sleeping. Otherwise, it was great!

I booked a stay at Hudson River Hotel through Expedia for the night of 3/29–3/30/25, and the experience was awful from the moment we arrived. The hotel looked nothing like the pictures online. It was filthy, under construction, and felt completely unsafe. We left within minutes and had to urgently find another hotel that night. What made things worse was the complete lack of accountability from both Expedia and the hotel. Despite reaching out multiple times and even purchasing Expedia’s Hotel Booking Protection, I was denied a refund. Expedia claimed they were waiting on the hotel’s response—but the hotel never answered my emails. When I finally reached someone at the front desk by phone, they were disrespectful, kept cutting me off, and offered no help. I was told I wouldn’t get a refund because “you only paid $128” and “it was just a one-night stay.” That is completely false—I have a receipt showing I paid $199.19, including taxes and protection. When I asked to speak with or get the contact information for someone in charge of issuing refunds, they refused to provide it. This experience was completely unacceptable. The hotel was unsafe and misrepresented, and the customer service from both the hotel and Expedia was dismissive and unhelpful. Avoid this hotel, and think twice before trusting Expedia with your travel plans.

Had a good stay at the Hudson River Hotel. The manager and staff was nice, the rooms pretty clean and proper (except for one towel where I found a hair that was definitely NOT mine). Overall worth the money and a good location just a few minutes from Time Square.

Horrible hotel. Hotel is under construction and it’s not livable what so ever. They are under full construction. It was very unsafe, unhealthy and dangerous. Dust, paint, construction hazards are everywhere. This hotel needs to be shot down till they finish the construction. Pain, construction material smell everywhere and unhealthy smell everywhere to sleep in. All our clothes were dusty, our eyes red every day our throats were dry, sore from the construction smell. Towels were dirty with construction glue, cement on it. Unlivable hotel. I don’t think this is legal for them to operate under this condition. Across the street there was a major construction as well and the noise was unbearable. The construction noise in hotel it self was unbearable as well. I am definitely going to report this and ask for my money back. We hung a privacy sign for them not to enter our room but they disregarded it and entered the room anyways. Apparently they tried to clean it but instead they ruined my shoes socking wet by flipping the iron on top of it and the water inside the iron got all over my used shoes and it was trashed.
