I stayed at the Mayfair Hotel from April 18th-April 22nd 2013 with my boyfriend and it was perfect for us. I’ve been to New York quite a few times and stayed every place from the Hilton in Time Square to the YMCA Hostel in Midtown. This was a perfect cheap option that still puts you in the center of everything.... More

I went to NYC with my son to see some shows on Broadway before he headed off to college. We couldn't have asked for a better location. I got a good price, so to me the location was worth it all, but the rooms were tiny. Only one bed in a tiny room so he had to sleep in the... More

What's remarkable about this hotel was the price...affordable for being in the Theater District of NYC, walking distance from Times Square, etc.. And the efforts of the staff and the intention of the place as well. But then there's the place.... My room was an interior room facing an airshaft, in perpetual twilight, with a huge air conditioner thrumming and... More

It's an odd little place with tiny rooms and threadbare carpets. My room was being heated when it should have been cooling. The A/C remote did not work and I was told to open the window. Sleeping in a draft is never good but the bathroom was clean and newly renovated. In addition to the location the price is good... More

We booked this hotel for 5days for our trip to NYC in April. First of all the location is AWESOME! Right off of Times Square and literally a 15min walk to everything else... Hotel is a little older but that is the charm of all these hotels near TimesSquare. We arrived at 845am and were not able to check in... More

Elevator was broken-had to walk up 5 flights. No remote in room for TV-at 4:00 PM-was told 'too bad-you can get one tomorrow" Staff could have cared less. I checked out within 4 hrs of checking in. Staff could have cared less about my leaving-no offer of apology-NOTHING. Room was tiny-but to be fair-clean and neat. Then again I was... More
