Hotels Near Duane Reade in New York

It's very clean. The single room is not particularly big, but it is really clean. There is also breakfast in the morning, but I haven't eaten it. I always slept in, so I don't know how the breakfast is. There is free drink downstairs

Flight was cancelled out of LaGuardia last minute. Booked using points and couldn’t have been more pleased. The staff here, everyone of them, were pleasant, friendly and so accommodating. Rooms were large and clean. Traveling friend dropped earring in sink and maintenance was up quickly to rescue said earring out of the drain within minutes. We had dinner at the small bar/restaurant, and for a hotel meal, we were pleasantly surprised how yummy it was. And the gentleman who served us was so willing to please. Great stay and kudos to the staff for making a frustrating event so much easier!

I saw many posts not having good recommendations about the hotel ... But I wanted to pay for see ... And I liked what I saw ... In fact, the hotel's entry is not the best. The reception is very simple ... No parking in the hotel. Ahead there was one who charged $28 24 hours, but nothing so bad.A very careful Chinese official was well-taken and asked.I stayed in apt 803, double room with 3 king beds and well clean.For six people there was LED TV with several channels. The Flushing district is a 100% Chinese district with a variety of markets and restaurants. The metro line 7 is three squares in Roosevelt Av. and Manhattan are 12 stations. The College Av. there is Burlington, Marshalls, Target etc. in a Mall. The safe and quiet neighborhood and the Mets Stadium is close. I'll be back some day.

The facilities are a bit old and the hygiene is average. The advantage is that the hotel is in a good location, shopping and travel are very convenient, there are many food nearby, it is easy to find food, and there is Chinese service

Please avoid this hotel at all costs. The guest experience was certainly deplorable; it is staffed with the most indifferent and unwelcoming staff ever for a Best Western. Don't even ask for a late check-out which I did; the clerk, who was dozing off when I checked in, yelled out ”12 o'clock” when I asked how late I could check out. The room was a good size, and the television worked. The internet was efficient; you just have to figure out that the hotel's phone number is the password. Everything is on sticky notes: your key has a room number stuck on a sticky note so you will not forget (just don't lose your key}. The dead bolt on the door (I had room 702) did not work. Refrigerator worked. However, the horrors immediately occurred right before I went to bed. The noise from the street is pretty bad; lots of cars just like to honk. And there was blood on the sheets on one of the two beds. Good thing that I checked the other bed and found it was blood stained free. In the morning, prior to taking a shower, a clump of hair was in the shower. So much for the cleanliness of this place. The management sent me a sorry response when I complained about their poor cleanliness. There is a Hyatt Place right across the street from this hotel, which has a decent continental breakfast if you are of an elite status with 'World of Hyatt.” I usually don't raise the issue of a Diamond Elite in the Best Western program, but this hotel's poor record of guest service would not matter if you had the status or not. They treat you the same: like a bag of dirt. Avoid!

Location is the greatest advantage of this hotel. Less than 1 min by walk from Yellow R & W Subway Whitehall South Station Exit. This hotel has 40+ floors, but 3 guest lifts only. Long waiting time for lift was annoying. The air-conditioning unit was noisy, as it started on/off intermittently all the time. The shower room is tiny, it was just enough room for an adult to turn around the body. The design of shower room glass door was poor, as the bathroom floor would get wet when open the glass door.

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

Had already stayed 3 nights in another room in the same hotel and wanted to stay another night, but couldn't stay in the same room cause it had been booked. This time didn't get the same view, but it wasn't bad all all. The bell man downstairs hold our luggage while we waited to checked in. Will recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to come and visit New York City.

I just stayed at the Motto in Times Square for the weekend, and had a great experience. First, let me say that I was born and raised in NYC (I live about 30 miles north of NYC now), so I know the NYC area very well, and it was such a joy to experience the city as a ”tourist” for the weekend. The hotel is in a great location near Times Square, where access to public transportation is very easy, as well as to restaurants, and Broadway shows. The hotel is very efficient and modern. The rooms are cozy, and very comfortable. The service is excellent, and the breakfast menu is delicious. I very much enjoyed my stay at the Motto in Times Square.

There were times when the bus didn't come, but it was still nice to be able to get to Times Square in 20-30 minutes by bus. I was satisfied because it was neater and more spacious than I expected!!
