New York Manhattan Hotels

Room wasn’t always cleaned, sometimes everything was just brushed under here and there to hide it away. Had to call to request the room to be cleaned every other day. Extremely slow lift and at peak times you would have to wait at least 10-20 mins. Staff was good, location great.

Hotel is located in a very convenient place, public parking is right across from the hotel, 10 minutes walk to Time Square. 15 minutes walk train station. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed there for two nights, room is small and has only basics but functions, I am happy we stayed there.

It was pretty easy to book, find, and to get into the hotel. The front desk person has the room keys ready, so we got to the room in a few seconds. It was clean and quite even the room was located next to the elevator. Me and my friends have relaxed time there.

Upon entering the lobby of the Draper Hotel you're greeted by the most helpful front desk staff. The rooms are comfortable and NYC size (small as most are). We had an excellent view the of Empire State Building. There weren't any issues with noise as the windows are double pane. I'd stay at the Draper Hotel again. It's near many food options and very pedestrian friendly area.

Holiday Inn, 6th Avenue, Manhattan We are a much travelled family and have used Holiday Inn many times in different cities worldwide. It was a brand that we, as a family, had confidence in. The accommodation was as expected and the cleaning staff should be praised. However, we were bemused by the demeanour of the other staff – front of house and in particular, breakfast staff. We could only conclude that Holiday Inn had given work experience to people from other backgrounds who had no experience of interacting with the public or serving at tables. We took a while to check in, the young man with headphones in, couldn’t find our reservation. There was no apology and, crucially, no explanation as to how the unique breakfast system worked. We found the breakfast room the following morning, eventually a young man came, we thought that he may normally have been a plasterer or welder trying out this new job, and told us that we needed a voucher from behind the reception desk to access breakfast. This voucher allowed us one item off the menu – any additional item such as orange juice had to be paid for. It was not permitted to pick up vouchers for my two sons or to pick up vouchers in advance for the next two days. The ritual of picking up the daily voucher was bizarre! Each morning was a transatlantic scene from Faulty Towers and proved to be a most memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. We had an amazing time in New York and had so many fantastic experiences of superb hospitality and service; the antithesis of our experience at the hotel. The location of the hotel was excellent

Stayed 4 nights in 2 rooms, both with two double beds. Me and my oldest son in one room, my MIL and youngest son in the other room. Rooms were clean, staff were very helpful and friendly, and location s great—very close to Times Square. We had never been to NYC and had a wonderful time. We would definitely stay here again! Other reviewers complain of extra charges and problems with refunds—this is because they booked through a 3rd party site (like this one) and did not read the fine print. All NYC accommodations have a bunch of additional taxes and charges and they are the same no matter which hotel you stay in. The difference is that some hotels advertise the daily rate including an estimate of these charges and some don’t. Additionally, agreements may vary when using a 3rd party site (like this one) vs booking through the hotel’s website. Also, it’s NYC—all accommodations are small and compact. Plus, you’re there to see the city, not hang out in a hotel room all day. Lastly, the hotel doesn’t advertise a continental breakfast and why would they when just out the door are dozens of affordable places to grab a bite.

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

It is the first time that we find a hotel room where the TV is bigger than the closet. Perhaps the hotel's policy is to set up the rooms differently depending on the season: large TV and small wardrobe during the warm season and small TV and large wardrobe during the winter season? Amazing! Considering that the space in the closet is only 23 inches (60cm) the suitcases cannot be emptied and must find a place around the bed in order to be opened. The positive consequence is that moving around the room helps to learn the Sirtaki dance steps: 4 steps on the side and two steps forward. The size of the bathroom is inconsistent with that of the room. The bathroom, in fact, is surprisingly large. The drains, on the other hand, are consistent with the narrowness of the room, in fact as soon as we arrived in the room we found the drains clogged (promptly purged by the hotel's ”specialist technician”). The air conditioning, turned on by default, reminds us of a subway station: the same movement of air and above all the same noise when the subway cars arrive. The same ”specialised technician” then intervened to activate the futuristic air conditioning control unit where, by going through labyrinthine menus, submenus and sub-submenus, in the end he was able to access the on/off disclaimer. Unfortunately the instruction manual for this control unit is not available in the room consequently we have replaced that bizarre electronic panel with that archaic tool called ”window” where with a marvelous handle one is able to change the air in the room. The operation of this tool is friendly enough that it does not need an instruction manual. The room is also equipped with a large screen through which at night you can watch the silhouette puppet show. The screen is the dividing wall between the bedroom and the bathroom built in opaque glass. It is enough to go to the bathroom and turn on the light, whoever is on the bed can enjoy the exhibition, free of charge. The restaurant is quite good and the prices are ok.

Firstly, Ms. Monica is the reason I can give 4 stars to this review. Arriving at the hotel a little pass 12:00 am on the 8th April, 2023 to hear that our reservations was canceled and no rooms was available, breaked my heart. Thank to Teresa who immediately tried her best to get my husband and I a room for the night, because there was no way we were leaving to another find another hotel, especially being it was our 1st time in New York. The next day they told us we would be able to get a room fitting our originally reservations. After a long wait, we found out it was all the way to the 34th floor. I intinially told them about my situation bout heights. After alot if back and forth Ms. Monica came to my rescue. She was able to find another room but it would not be available ubtil the following Midday. Even though I was still very much upset Ms. Monica had graciously explain the situation and promised the next room I will be moving to I would love it. Low and below the next day we were upgrade to a suite. And we were more then comfortable for the remaining days of our trip. Thank you so very much Ms Monica. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR KIND AND WARM HOSPITALITY.
