Wall Street - Financial District New York|0.83km from city centre
We chose the hotel for the second time this year, and it did not disappoint. We received the same attentiveness and carefree rest as the first time. Maintenance and renovation also took place in the time between the two occasions, which I can confirm, as we requested and received the same room both times, which we were pleased with. We almost came home, we felt at home. The staff is wonderful, conscientious, self-sacrificing. They are extremely attentive, we asked for and received a refrigerator and microwave. We love its location, its surroundings are calm, safe and spacious. Shopping and transportation options are easy to solve, with Hudson Jersey in the background it's beautiful. Thank you for letting us spend Christmas with you, we already want to go back! Grateful thanks!

After reading the reviews on here I wasn’t expecting too much from this hotel. I wanted to write some comments that reflect on the main themes I picked up (where they were similar and different). It seems I wasn’t charged the additional destination fee for my stay, although I had to ask a second member of staff to confirm as the first wasn’t clear. When I arrived for check in there was no wait. The staff member was not terribly friendly and welcoming. Of all the three hotels I stayed at in three different cities in the US, this stuck out as the poorest customer service. It wasn’t awful just not as welcoming as the other places. The information provided was not as clear and the general manner quite abrupt. The room was clean but the hotel generally was dated. The rooms didn’t seem fully clean or fresh but it was more that things were scratched, worn and dated rather than dirty. There were some stains on the carpet too. The location was, as others have said, excellent. I would have expected more for the price but it also was better than expected from reading some of the reviews on here.

Overall the hotel was nice. Aesthetically the lobby, market area and courtyard were amazing & nicely designed. Would been nice if we were able to get a double bed but they were sold out. Also room service was a little slow on bringing items to the room that we requested. Overall the stay was great and location was superb for our needs. I’d definitely stay there again!

They know how to treat their guests. Room was very clean!

When you stay at holidayin, you will feel that the global chain brand is trustworthy. The layout of the room is very compact; the mattress and quilt are very comfortable; the hot water supply in the shower room is very good, and the shampoo and hair care series uses the Dove brand; the only drawback is that the air conditioner makes noise when adjusting the temperature, and the external environment is facing the street. There is a simple meal on the first floor for $8, and you can choose three of several types of bread, cakes, juice drinks, mineral water, etc.; I prefer to drink juice, and I choose apple juice, orange juice and corn cake on the first day; I choose 2 bottles of apples on the second day juice and corn cake. When traveling overseas, it is a relatively good hotel choice.

Times Square New York|4.45km from city centre
I would rate the hotel adequately nice. However, a state of readiness of the room and the room's amenities (desk and a/c or heater) are in a poor state compared to the hotel's rate of $450 a night. When I got there, a wall-mounted/foldable desk was not in state for immediate use. I had to call a maintenance to do a quick computer work. If a check-in time is 16:00, I expect furnitures to be working. Overall, the room design is cute (somewhere between boutique and small studio room without a fridge). And, it is clean. However, beddings were lesser qualities that I expected to come from a $450 a night hotel. It is comparable to the ones from Holiday inn's or average hostels. They were thin also. Definitely bring pajamas if you are sensitive to cold. A heater here makes a noticeable vibration with bothering noise. I was too tired from waking up from it. But, it is quite a bother when you are just relaxing. Other than that I really like the overall design of the room and facilities that come with the room. However, quality of amenities are not really upto the standard of the rate of the hotel. Purely it is a business trip that prioritizes convenience in terms of location. I would not mind booking this place if I were to travel alone. However, for a couple, I would not since it is quite small. Overall, single traveler would like it but for a couple may be suffocating (double room).

We booked a junior suite, which was different from the pictures on Ctrip. I felt that the merchant was deceiving customers. The bathroom and cloakroom were quite large, but the room was quite small. For a family of four, if we opened the sofa bed, the room would be very crowded.

Environment: Although the hotel is old, it is clean and well located. Central Park is downstairs. Service: The waiters are very friendly and enthusiastic. They feel that they are very active at work and will take the initiative to greet us. They also gave us a bottle of Trump champagne, which is very delicious. Facilities: There is a gym and swimming pool downstairs, which is very good. There are few people. The Michelin Jean Georges is next to the first floor. The hotel front desk can help with reservations.
