Cheap hotel in a historic setting just a stone's throw from the Empire State Building.

Located a stone's throw from the Empire State Building, this hotel is housed in a beautiful brick building that was once (in 1893) the headquarters of Life magazine. Pages of the magazine decorate the corridors of this hotel, which is more than 100 years old. Each room is equipped with television, telephone and air conditioning. One of Manhattan's best-known low-cost hotels, in a lively neighborhood and on a pleasant street. Even the smallest rooms have a certain cachet. For the price, it is hard to do better.

This is the first allegedly four-star hotel I’ve ever stayed in that didn’t provide in-room coffee or an iron and ironing board. And the lobby coffee wasn’t set out until 8 am. It’s basically a tiny room with a bathroom and a small desk and desk chair. Even the hotel bar was shut down. To top it off, they made me pay a “destination fee” of $25 at check in, after I’d already pre-paid for the room. Pass.

DO NOT BOOK! The room is not as advertised. It’s not a wooden floor. It’s basically a stripped back floor with paint stains and cracks. The toilet was broken. The Elevator is the scariest thing you’ll ever ride. Something straight out of a 1950s horror film. Dark and fragile like it could break at any second. There’s a speaker in our room that the employees can speak over. Someone was speaking at 10pm at night. I was so scared I went to the front desk to ask what that was. The guy looked at me like I was crazy. Then dropcalled the phone in my room to try and scare me. There was NO ONE THERE. Like 3 other people staying there with 11 floors. No breakfast or food whatsoever. Not even an electric kettle, tea, microwave or mini-fridge. Plugs were too far away from the bed to charge and use at the same time. Oh and the worst part the walls were thin. Could hear the couple next door doing it.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. Scam artists. Double charged me for a room. The rooms are the size of a closet. Elevators are shaky. No refrigerators. Staff was incompetent. AVOID AVOID AVOID

The staff is super friendly and helpfull.

The beds are so comfy and big. Our window to the street was a on the small side. Street sounds not to disturbing.

Room had nice design elements to it. Bathroom clean and fresh as well as tastefull design. Could have been a drawer for clothes added. Otherwise everything was great.

They seemed to have a small gym as well, they should add that to website info.

Location is superb as a tourist, close to many major attractions, good resturants and communication. Neighbourhood felt safe at all times.

I'd stay here again on my next trip!
