Hotel has a convenient location on 45th between 5th and 6th Avenues. Easy to get to Grand Central. Considering the type of hotel this is and that there isn't a restaurant, it has a fair, no frills breakfast with both hot and hard-boiled eggs, meat, and pastry (hot cinnamon rolls) options. The breakfast area is located basically right inside the... more

My husband and myself stayed here with my 80 year old mother. The location is excellent - walking distance to 5th Avenue, Times Sqaure, Grand Central Terminal, Theatre district, Rockefeller Centre. We had rooms on the 14th Floor facing the street. There was some street noise - but no enough to keep us awake. The rooms were very clean and... more

Check in was fast and friendly. The room was very small, smelled a bit stuffy, and facing the back of the building which, when opening the window we got a terribly greasy odor. However, the air conditioning did solve that problem. The Italian tour group staying at the hotel took over the breakfast room so we skipped the free breakfast.... more

My wife and I were very pleased with our 3 night stay. The location was near perfect for our needs: walking distance to the Brwy theatres, subway stations, and bus stops. Our room, although compact, was clean, quiet and equipped with ironing board, iron, and hair dryer. Included in the price was a daily breakfast that exceeded our expectations -... more

We stayed in this hotel on our previous visit to New York and loved it. This time, it was not as good. Despite being Priority Club Gold members, we still had to wait half and hour for check in .... even though our room was ready. The lift broke down one morning which meant you have to wait forever to... more

We chose this Holiday Inn mainly because of the ideal location. Our room had two double beds and was on the 3rd floor facing the street. The windows that face the street do not have room darkening drapes so the street lights gave the effect of having night lights on all night. Our room was clean and comfortable. And the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express 5th Avenue for 5 nights at the beginning of October. The hotel is in a fantastic location and it's only a few blocks from eg Times Square, Bryant Park, New York Public Library etc. The hotel is not very wide, so you only get approx 6 rooms per floor. We... more

My wife and I spent 3 days in NYC at the end of September and had reserved a room at the Holiday Inn Express based on the reviews seen here on TA. The reviews are right on. The rooms were indeed small, but we weren't in NYC to hang out in our room. Even though the room was small, it... more

Rooms are small, breakfast is very crowded, it's expensive. However, the hotel is clean and staff are helpful. It's a great location and probably the best you can find for the price. I will go back again. more
