this hotel has to be the worst i have ever stayed in. myself and three friends went for some shopping for six days. i know that most hotels in the states are basic but this was down right dirty. it was filthy and the staff were appalling. i was afraid to walk on the carpet it was so dirty. there was no stopper in the bath and it was cracked and peeling.the corridor was frightening.

it was quite scary as there was no one checking the lift. anyone could come up to the corridor. myself and one friend had to travel a day earlier as we were airline staff and the flights were better that day so we had to do a separate booking for one night.well that was so confusing for the staff but they gave us a room which because of my airline i.d. they saId was an upgrade.well what a joke that was it was on the third floor and we since found ou that the first three floors are rented by the hour that says it all. there was no head boards on the beds the t.v. unit was falling apart and it felt as if the room had not been cleaned in years.

this hotel was not cheap we paid 2500 euros and i paid 215 dollars for the extra night. we had friends staying in the new yorker and they had a suite for the same price and there was no comparison living room 2 ensuites an ironing room and plasma television.

needlless to say we wont be going back again and i will be telling everyone i know to give it a wide berth.

thanking you,

I'll keep this short: I usually stay at Affinia properties in Manhattan and still fully recommend them. I often stay in the same neighborhood that the Hotel Pennsylvania is in because I see sporting events at Madison Square Garden. Ended up at the hotel because a friend had a free room there.

I wouldn't go back if THEY paid me. Room was TINY, cramped, linens were junky, etc. Line at check-in was like the security line at an airport: long and sluggish.

Worst - there was essentially no climate control in our room. Could NOT turn on any air-conditioning at all, so it was roughly 85 degrees in there at all times. Did NOT make for a comfortable sleeping night.

If you only care about having a roof over your head after a day/night of boozing and seeing sports at the Garden, MAYBE this is OK. But I'd recommend spending the extra $100 or so to stay elsewhere - such as the Affinia Manhattan next door.

the rooms were abit shabby especially the bathroom but it was clean and the staff were very friendly. can't fault the location it was perfect and for somewhere to lay ur head at night it was great would use this hotel again

It was one of the worst experiences ever. The room was dirty, noisy and dark. The staff was rude. It definitely does not worth the price, Too expensive for what we get. Will never ever come back to this pigsty.
