The Blakely by LuxUrban

Great location, walkable to a lot of tourist attractions that I planned for. Good subway connection. Room was big and got everything I need (we except a kettle). My room had microwave, fridge with freezer, a pantry sink. Just a tiny complain of the shower situation, didn't get hot water in certain time of the day (usually late night). Overall, good stay.

I traveled solo, and it was plenty of space and perfect location with a lot of stuff around.

The service was great. The location was ideal! Walking distance to Times Square, Central Park, Carnegie Hall ect

Generally good excellent location Missing coffee maker

This hotel is very old and has little to no amenities. No coffee, in the room, or lobby. No USB ports for phone chargers in the room. No food. I tried to switch from a King to 2 queen beds, which still showed available on the sight, and cheaper than the original price of my room. They wanted to charge me $150 to switch rooms.the windows are so thin that we could hear everything on the street. Very difficult to sleep. Won’t ever stay here again.

This hotel is a fantastic option if you have the right expectations. Pros: Fantastic location, huge rooms (for NYC), clean, no extra charge for 3 or 4th guest in 2-queen rooms, great price Cons: This seems like it was previously a 4 or 5 star hotel that hasn't had much maintenance in the last 30 years and is now a limited service hotel offering reasonable prices. It is clean but a little rough around the edges (could use some paint and wallpaper repairs, some stains in carpets, etc). Staff are very nice but sparse, so you may need to have a little patience at check-in, towel requests etc. Overall, I think it's a good value for money, especially if you're a family and don't want to pay for an extra room for the kids. The pictures are very accurate in terms of what the place will look like, though they don't show some of the slightly shabby aspects.
