New York Cheap Vacations

The hotel is pretty conveniently close to Times Square, which is a huge plus. The lobby is beautiful as you see in the picture. However, we booked the hotel because I wanted to have access to their parking. When we got there, there was no more spaces for us. They referred us to another hotel down the block, the Marriott, where we paid $85/night. It was completely unexpected. We had to text or call that hotel 30 mins before or if not, we would have to wait an hour. We called that hotel and they rudely to us to them but when we would, half of the time, the text wouldn’t go through. It was just super inconvenient that we had to go to another hotel. We also asked for early check-in and there was none, understandably, because it’s summer, but we had a show to attend, so they held our bags for $2/bag. We had a lot of suitcases/bags. In the span of a hour, we spent so much and none of this was communicated to us. They kept sending us everywhere with half information. I just knew about the amenity fee. At check-out at 3:30 AM, nobody was at the front desk. I waited for a few minutes and when nobody came, I said hello. There was man hiding and sitting behind a wall on the computer. He clearly did not want to assist me and told me to put my key card in the acrylic box displayed at the front desk. I told him that I didn’t have it on me. I would have to searched my bag and I couldn’t because I had a flight to catch. He finally checked me out at my insistence. Just keep this mind.

Hotel is very outdated and needs renovation asap

I really, really wanted to like this hotel. We had been watching YouTube videos about Yotel for months and were excited to stay here. It was a little disappointing. We knew it would be small. That was not a problem. We were prepared for that and the room had enough places to store stuff if you are a light packer. There were 3 of us - me, my husband, and our teen kid, and we had plenty of space. My husband uses an electric wheelchair and we didn't have to fold it up to have enough room. The hotel is in an extremely convenient location and is priced reasonably for the location. We could either walk or hop on a nearby bus to get pretty much everywhere we needed to go. This was our first time in NYC and we were able to navigate easily. There were lots of nearby restaurants with plenty of different options for anybody. We booked the triple premium room - with a loft bed over a queen bed with the adjustable head of bed. My teen loved the loft. However, when we arrived, there was no blanket, just a sheet and pillow. We had to ask for one and got one of those rough, wool-like blankets instead of a duvet. The only day anyone came to clean the room or empty the trash was our last day there. The reading light in the loft appeared to have been pulled out of the wall. The light in the bathroom didn't work. The whole place was just a little shabby and run-down, going against the whole "living in the future" vibe they are trying to go for.

All the staff I have encountered at the Kimpton are so professional and friendly. Really enjoy our stay everytime

We stayed at the Hotel Edison, which is perfectly located in the heart of Times Square. The hotel's proximity to the Theater District and Central Park made exploring easy. Our room was comfortable and cleaned daily for the days we stayed there, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
