It was my first time in NYC and I work in a hotel as well. I had a really cheap rate and I loved the location! It was perfect! Everything is close to the hotel. Fifth Ave, Empire State, Central Park, everything is under a 20-minute walk! We had really good maid service and the front desk was very friendly.... more

Warning! Got two confirmations by e-mail, the last one just five days before arrival. When arriving the booking was cancelled. There was also a Dutch man standing at the desk waiting. He's been cancelled too! New routintes and better information is required. The hotel takes a new and second authorization on your Visa-card, the day of arrival. I've never had... more

Paid a last minute visit to NYC recently. Found great rate online. Hotel is very basic but don't forget, it is only a 2* hotel. Room was extremely small but paid a very low rate for the location and it was very clean. Staff were friendly. Check in was fast. Bed was ridiculously soft (not in a good way). Sank... more

So you read these reviews before going and staying at the hotel, so nothing that I write will tell you anything new. Yes, small rooms and bathrooms. But you are in New York City!

We proceeded to start to walk toward the hotel to drop off our bags. It didn't seem that far... more

I stayed this hotel for 4 nights for business. I reserved on the web page saying it had wi-fi, but it didn't. My colleague went to the nearby Starbucks for it. My room was clean but very small...though it didn't matter very much because I didn't spend much time there. more

My wife and I stayed at the Clarion Hotel Park Avenue on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend. It was by far the best deal around at $161/night for a room with one double bed. Most other hotels were charging double that price. We typically like to stay in Murray Hill, Gramercy, Kip's Bay, because it's convenient to Penn Station,... more

Was booked here on a business trip. Worst hotel I have stayed in years. Tiny rooms and bathroom. No internet service when I was there. Room reeked of a putrid disinfectant smell. more
