2-Star Hotels in New York

The environment is excellent, the hotel is relatively new, and the rooms are quite spacious, which is a rarity in New York. The price is also acceptable. Among Western-style breakfasts, this one is quite rich. If you don't mind being a little further from Manhattan, it's actually a great choice. Most of the staff are very nice, especially the housekeeping team, who are very polite and keep everything spotlessly clean. There are many good restaurants on the way to the subway.

Considering my late arrival, I booked a hotel near the airport. It felt like they gave me the worst room in the hotel, probably because I booked through a platform. The hallway outside my door was cluttered with various supplies, which made for a bad experience.

Location: A convenient 7-minute drive from JFK. Not too far from the city either, about half an hour to Manhattan. Facilities are decent, but they don't clean rooms daily; you have to call for things like toilet paper. The hotel lobby offers breakfast, which is okay quality but filling. Free coffee and tea are available. The hotel is busy with people constantly coming and going, very lively atmosphere.

The hotel was conveniently situated 3mins walk to the subway station and a bus stop to nearby places. Hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Surrounding shops (Taco Bell, Starbucks pharmacy, supermarket) were conveniently round the corner. For travellers mainly out of the room it’s good enough. I found the bed and pillows way too soft. On the hold, a good enough accommodation.

My stay and experience was excellent inclusive of location, customer service will recommend to anyone friendly and efficient staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a pleasant atmosphere. They also offered amenities like a good breakfast

The front desk was replaced by a guy who looked like an Indian. I was given a basement room, which was really small and bad. There were people arguing at night, and the sound was not blocked at all, just like a shadow play. Someone also tried to open my room door at one or two o'clock (in the early morning), probably because they read the wrong room number. Overall, this stay was a negative experience.

The location is quite good, and the front desk staff are nice. However, there seems to be a shortage of staff. If they need to go to a different floor to handle other matters, you might have to wait a bit longer.

The hotel was not nearly as bad as the other reviews make it out to be. If you are okay with not having a 5-star hotel, this will be perfectly fine for you. The room was clean, only thing was there was some mold in the wall grout in the bathroom. The room we were originally put in didn’t have a TV that worked, so we were given a different room. Room came with a clean refrigerator (microwave is communal downstairs), clean sheets, and clean towels. Breakfast is included and free, but it’s really only the basics: some pastries and cereal. But it’s New York — there’s bodegas and bagel shops a 10 min walk away (check out Bagel Pub!) Subway station is 1 block away. It takes about 35 minutes to get into downtown Manhattan, which may seem like a lot, but for the price, I don’t mind riding the subway for a little longer. For the price, I think it’s exactly what you’d expect — not perfect, but doable.

Always kept team of guardians (police) at the entrance of hotel. This is disgusting, mainly when the guard stoped me, to indict me that I didn't pay, asking questions to customers. Ugly, bad experience. I don't understand why the hotel kept guards inside, inside, the hotel, they offend me, tried me like inmate. Urrrr.... Unfortunately Next time, I looked for best option, never come back lake hotel.

The hotel is located at a very high level, with the subway at the corner and the entrance to Central Park opposite. The hotel is a bit old, with only one elevator for the 14 floors. The bathroom design is unreasonable, with the flush toilet next to the bathtub, which is very small and has a very thick wall handle, making it almost impossible to stand and turn around, and the shower is extremely uncomfortable! Manhattan hotels in New York are expensive, but the price is acceptable for this location. The hotel's room card system is very old, and the card will be deleted when you put it together with your phone. At this time, when you arrive at the door, you must take the only elevator down to swipe again. I swipe twice in three days!
