Checking in was quick and painless, but as soon as I opened the door I was taken aback by the impossibly small double room. You could literally stand in the middle of the room and touch all four wall with your arms outstretched. It was a toss up between sleeping in the bed or standing up in the wardrobe. The... more

Checking in was quick and painless, but as soon as I opened the door to my impossibly tiny single room the problems began. To begin the lights in my room wouldn't turn on. I had to leave the door open to the hallway and turn on the bathroom light to be able to see. I called the front desk and... more

This was our first stay in New York, and couldn't believe it when shown to the room. OMG The room is small, smelt musty and I am sure it was rats I heard runnning along the pipes at night outside window. I even felt concerned about the bedding. Not a good thing to turn up to from N..Z after a... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night and I must say I will never go back. Our room was tiny, just big enough for our bed. In addition, one of our walls was HOT - I think the heating system was just behind it - so our room was boiling hot. And the bed was terrible - I have... more

The Hotel is very centrally located but in need of a total refurbishment. It is tired, old and shabby so if you are planning a romantic break, its not for you. If however you are visiting the sights and attractions of NYC, the location is great. Its seconds from Broadway, Maceys and all the districts with the underground system located... more

Our room here was very small, but as expected with NYC budget hotel rooms! I wouldn't say it was luxurious, but it was excpeptionally clean and well maintained and had a coffee maker in the room which was a bonus. However, you just CANNOT beat the location for this price bracket; it is ideal for travellers on a budget, as... more

My wife and I recently returned from a week in this shabby hotel. We were there under duress after a reservation with another place featured on the site cancelled on us at the last minute. Our room was tiny. It faced onto the street so I had to wear ear-plugs in order to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom... more

The President has a good location, just a few meters to the time square. The hotel was a bit crummy, but it was clean. more
