Our smoke detector went off at 2am because it needed a replacement battery. I called the front desk twice and no one answered. I had to go down to the lobby and ask for help. The security guard did come up quickly and took care of it but it was a little frustrating that no one answered when I called. There was a clerk sitting at the front desk with zero customers and she wasn’t on the phone. I got the impression that she just ignored my calls.

The original room we were given had not yet been cleaned out from the guests before us. The bed was unmade and there was trash and used towels everywhere. After getting a room change our new room was still very dirty. The paint on the walls was chipping, mysterious blue spots stained the wall paper, and an old heater outlined in mold sat under the window. The bathroom was almost too small to get in and out of and there was no shower door. This left all the water as you showered to pool up on the bathroom floor. Staff entered our room while we were sleeping and on the last day we saw a large cockroach in our bed. Needless to say this did not feel like the stay that was advertised online and the staged pictures are not accurate.

Tverything was fine, room was a bit dated but on the 14th floor it was pretty quiet very close to Times Square and all the main attractions only downside is the room smelled bad. Staff did bare minimum. Was skeptical after reading the reviews but would definitely recommend for a budget stay in Times Square!

Pros: The beds were comfortable, the showers were good and the housekeeping staff was excellent. Cons: Room #1: it was obvious the door into the room had been kicked in at some point (the portion of the swing-bar door lock on the door itself was broken in half and left hanging). Spent the entire time wondering who had died in the room or been attacked in the room, neither thought fostering a sense of security. The door to the bathroom had also been kicked in at some point, judging by the damage to the door and the jamb. The one outlet in the room was hanging off the wall about 1/2 inch. It worked, but we worried about it being a fire hazard any time it was used. The wall switch for the bedside lamp didn't work, meaning you had to use the switch on the light and - any time you touched it - the light fell off its wall mounting. Room #2: Had to move furniture to plug in the lights. The window was stuck open about 8 inches and oddly, the room was still roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit (in December!). In place of the control panel on the radiator, there was a piece of plywood and a rocker switch, a clear violation of electrical code (that didn't even work). Dresser drawers wouldn't stay closed, creating a bump hazard any time you moved about the room. We were left wondering how it was remotely legal for these rooms to be rented for use - the electrical violations alone! And don't even get us started on having to pay a "resort fee" for the privilege...

Pros: * Great location. Cons: * Impossible to reach the hotel via phone or email. * Deluxe rooms are on par with standard hotels/motels; other room types are very disappointing. * Staff are rude and unhelpful. * Biggest frustration: we had paid in full for a deluxe room, but due to flight cancellations, we arrived a day late. Despite emailing the hotel to update our arrival and secure the room, they gave it away anyway. Overall: If you’re on a tight budget with no other options, you might proceed. Otherwise, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
