I've just spent five nights at the Mave. The rooms are noisy, as other reviewers have noted. But then – welcome to New York! Still, this place is worth recommending on the basis of the location, which is fantastic (equidistant from uptown and downtown, and within walking distance of many attractions and good restaurants), the friendliness of the staff, and... more

This was our first trip to NY and we spent the first 5 nights at the MAve (on their stay for 5, pay for 4 promotion). I had read the reviews here on TA before booking, but it was a very new hotel then and had just opened with only a few reviews. I was a little concerned as I... more

We stayed at MAve for 3 nights & it was like we were right on the street with all the trucks, cars, sirens & traffic. We were given air plugs & tried to sleep with television on & AC unit turned up to drown out noise, but it was still really bad. When I complained, the desk clerk said "You... more

I knew I was in for something different when the Taxi was dropping me off at the hotel and you can see the vibrant colors of red and ballons in the lobby. I was quickly welcomed before I got my bags off the trunk and checked in in a flash. I expected fast service being in New York, but wow,... more

I stayed at The MAve during a business trip to NYC and was definitely pleased with the place. As many other reviewers have noted, the rooms aren't large. They are, however, extremely clean and functional - almost spartan in their efficiency. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful - hailing cabs, answering questions, providing as much information as they could... more

The staff was wonderful in helping us with everything from making dinner reservations to bringing ice up to our room. We had a King size room and it sounds like we had more space than most of the other reviews. We had a small desk with one chair and a WONDERFUL king size bed. The air conditioner was only a... more

We chose The MAve for our first 2 nights in NYC last weekend. We wanted to experience staying in 2 different areas, and spotted this hotel on Trip Advisor for our first. Was very new at the time, quite far down the ratings list...but only because it was recently added. Every hotel needs to start somewhere, so we decided to... more

Positives: friendly staff, free wifi, comfy bed & lots of pillows (very firm), H2O bathroom amenities, huge shower head, & near subway; Negatives: no working elevators and had to walk up seven flights of stairs with metal covering (VERY noisy), breakfast consisted of coffee at 8:30 am on Sunday, postage-size room (upgraded @ $20/night to queen, much better), all street... more

The Mave is a lovely hotel in a great location right up from Madison Square Garden (the park, not the sports arena). The staff, from concierge to housekeeping, were among the friendliest and helpful I have ever come across. The rooms are very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel, as mentioned in other reviews, just opened in... more
