    It was in an excellent location, with the subway nearby. There were many options for food within 2 blocks, as well as a CVS, and theaters. The staff were very nice. If you read that the room is 125ft squared, and you don't understand that it is small... well... it is. Tea and coffee for most of the day in the lobby. The bed was super comfortable, black out curtains, comfy pillows, AC, and the bathroom was adequate with a nice shower. The TV could rotate so we could watch in bed. It had a closet/hangars/safe. We didn't spend much time in the room as we did touristy things all day. It was pretty much like the pictures and exactly as expected. It could use a small dresser to put clothes in.

    The staff was nice and helpful. The bed comfortable. Tea and coffee available in the lobby. Lot of choice of teas and infusion. But it would be also nice to have a small kettle in the room so you don't have to go 4 floors in pyjamas to have a warm drink before going to bed. There was a constant noise (air blowing). It probably came from all the A/C installations fixed outside the building. It was hard for me to fall asleep. I had some earplugs,.it helped a bit. Also, the hotel charges you for keeping your luggage 2$/bag. It is clearly stated when you book, but many others don't charge you for that service.

    The location is perfect. Very central and close to metro lines, central park and times square. Room was clean. And they cleaned the room every day as well. No smell or bad stuff. Completely renovated. They have tea and coffee 24/7 at the reception. They helped with the luggages on the day of check out. Room is too small. It is expected considering ny city circumstances however the view is also blocked with air conditioning pipes and a large wall outside so you almost have no sunlight in the room. Also air conditioning system noise from outside. We stayed 5 days so it was manageable.

    No breakfast offered, and was not expecting it. I left very early to beat traffic. I was in town to see a play at the Wintergarden Theater, a short walk away. Reserved parking, directly across the street, and lots of restaurants nearby. My room was tiny and without a view, which was fine! It was spotless, stylish, ample lighting and perfect for a quick overnight theater visit in the heart of the theater district. Also-As it was an interior room, it was very quiet. I was completely satisfied, so this does not apply. Exactly what I needed as a single guest.

    This is a basic but nice hotel in an excellent location near times square. We liked it because it was afordable and still comfortable and in a good area that made it easy to go anywhere we wanted to in mid-town. The elevator was very small so that was the only issue we had,......generally a very nice place to stay if you want to save a little in NY. Very small elevator.

    Great location - easy walk to restaurants, theaters, and the Central Park. Friendly staff. Clean, well-equipped rooms. I was lucky to get a room on the 5th floor, which wasn't as dark as lower floors and very quiet, for NYC. It's quite dark in the rooms facing the courtyard because the next building is barely 2 yards away, and the windows don't open.

    The location is excellent, the room was clean, the shower was good, the bed was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. While the room is small, they have a luggage rack, hangers for clothes and a couple of shelves for items. I left a laundry sack in the room by mistake and I was able to return and pick it up from housekeeping the next day. The floor needed repairs. There were pieces of clear packing tape holding down the wood (vinyl) strips. In one place there wasn't tape and I was afraid the edges would give me a splinter or something if I wasn't careful when barefoot. While the bed was comfortable, the pillows were extremely thick and not comfortable for your neck.

    Location. Room was nice adequate. Coffee in lobby. Kept it bags for us when we arrived early and after we checked out. Shower door would not stay closed. Told front desk. The room was hot and could not change. Staff very hesitant to give us later check out. Had 2 pm Broadway show then to train and home. Wanted to stay until 12:30-1 Stayed 11:30. Staff could have told us a few things at check in like ice is here at front desk. Also we were traveling with our teenage granddaughter and wanted two rooms close together. We arrived at hotel at 10:30 and explained this when we left our bags. When we came back at 5 pm they could put us on same floor.

    The location. I did not like the shoebox size rooms. I did not like that you had to ask the front desk for ice. I did not like the claustrophobic, shoe box elevator that was slow as molasses. I did not like that the staff prioritized their needs over the guests aka monopolizing the shoe box sized elevator during peak hours when guests were trying to leave in the morning and return in the evening. I did not like that they only had one elevator. I did not like the smell of the lobby.

Appreciated the mini fridge and although I did not use it there was a system that allowed you to view things from mobile devices. Also a card on really helpful in like closest pharmacy, grocery even psychic! Multiple outlets in useful places. Only thing was there was very limited storage in the room and in bathroom. Also no side table next to bed. I moved a stool next to the bed. My room on 6th floor ( of 7) towards the back was kind of noisy, outside noise like sirens etc no sound at all from other rooms.

    The location is terrific if you are going to the theater. The room is attractive but small and has limited storage space. The shower was excellent. There was coffee and tea available in the lobby all the time. The lobby is clean but kind of shabby - not the furniture, which is fine, but the very old wood walls, which showed deep cracks in many of the panels. There is no soundproofing so you can hear the traffic outside.

Generally feel safe in the area. I didn’t like that my room had a damaged floor that made it uncomfortable to walk on. Also some of the wallpaper was coming up from the wall. The room had some wear and tear from my last visit in the same exact room that I enjoyed the year before.

    Nice bathroom and good soap. Some room-specific disappointments show a potential overall lack-of-attention: clock wasn't plugged in and set (and the radio function broken); desk worklight inoperable; toilet seat did not stay up. Bed comfy and room, although tiny, is worth the tradeoff for location and price.

    The room was stifling hot and there was no temperature control. I spoke to the front desk and was told to turn on the air conditioner, which was several feet over my head, above the window. The remote for the AC did not work, so the desk gave me new batteries - which also didn’t work. I stood on the edge of the bed and tried punching buttons. They were barely in reach and I couldn’t read what each one did (they were both faded and above my eyeline even when I stood on the bed). On the first night, the AC unit rumbled and roared so loudly, I couldn’t sleep. So I turned it off and slept on top of the covers - in January! The second night, I managed to find a quieter setting so instead of two hours sleep, I managed four and a half. NYC was in the middle of a heat wave, so there was no reason to run the heat at all this weekend. I had been told after night one that they wouldn’t run it the following night. Well, they did. I expected the room to be basic as the building is old, but I couldn’t make it work for me.

    This hotel is in a great location — within walking distance of most of the touristy things and the subway. The room itself is small but mostly comfortable. I don’t know if the single is large enough for two people but it was perfect for a solo traveler. My only negative with the room was that there wasn’t a way to control the heat. A staff person advised that I would need to turn on the AC if I wanted to cool the room. However, the bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were tidy, so I would recommend.

    Traveled alone to see shows and catch up with friends. The location is perfect and the price was great. Despite being near Times Square, the room was extremely quiet. The radiator heat was too much, so I slept with the window open. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure with lots of hot water. But the decor is very dated and it’s a bit run down.

    As I walked into my unit and set up all of my luggage and belongings, I noticed water dripping from the bathroom door. A few minutes later there is hot water streaming down from the ceiling, to the point where water was seeping into the carpet of the bedroom and the hallway. I understand that things like this can happen but the staff didn't offer to rectify my situation. I had to grab all of my belongings in a rush to go down to the lobby and ask to be placed into another room. They reluctantly agreed but I feel like things could have been handled much better.

    The Mayfair is central and cheap. The room was clean. That's all I can say good about it. The hotel is the definition of "shabby." The woman who staffs the front desk during the day is helpful, but the rest of the staff acts like they wish you weren't there. BTW, the bed isn't even a Queen-size; it might be a double, but may be smaller than that.

    We went to the city to see the book of Mormon. This hotel was incredibly convenient as it was right next-door. I wasn’t expecting much for the low price that I paid and I was not disappointed. What we got was a small room with a bed two chairs TV set and a nice clock radio that sounded very good. The bathroom had a walk-in shower sink mirror hairdryer toilet, everything you would need and was generously sized. If you are looking for affordable accommodations to spend the night look no further. It is an old hotel that hasn’t been renovated in a while but the rooms are very clean. The bed was a little too soft for my liking but for one night I was able to deal with it and slept very soundly.

    Because of the price, I was not expecting a clean and modern room (in fact, I brought a can of Lysol). But I was pleasantly surprised.

    This hotel is in an excellent location! Very central to everything. The room has space for only a bed, no room for a vacuum cleaner or mop and pail. If you are just there to sleep, it works. The linens were clean! It did include a bathroom in the room but the 4 foot window in the shower (that overlooked an office and patio) was a bit intimidating. The moldy ripped blind didn't offer total privacy, hoping that showering in the dark prevented any entertainment for the neighbors :)

    If you are looking for a high-class, fancy hotel this isn’t it. BUT it was perfect for the location to theatres, restaurants, time square. No refrigerator. Did have room safe. Windows do not open easily and AC was noisy. Rooms are small, similar to a cruise ship. They had to move us because the sink wouldn’t drain but the AC was quieter in the second room but it was at the back and outside noise was a lot. Get a room down the hall towards the front and you’ll have less noise. Overall it was fine for the price paid.

    We stayed for 5 nights. Our room was small but again that is what we paid for. The bedside table is dusty,even the phone, the aircondition is dusty. We even see a cockroach in the toilet. The only good thing is it is near the subway and 5-10 mins walk to the bus terminal going to the airport. If you are looking to save, book this hotel but for us we will never book this hotel again. Rather pay extra to book another hotel.
