I think my secretary may have been playing a joke on me when she booked me into this hotel. The rooms are very stylish, but they are designed for families and younger crowds – not businessmen. I got bunk beds in my room and didn’t have the faintest idea what I was supposed to do with them. Beyond that, the front desk is fairly incompetent at providing any real service – or making recommendations for restaurants of any real value. Overall, it was disappointing. If I was 25 years old, however, I might have a different view of ... read more

Seemed fine – My experience was ok. I mean it's hard to tell because I have heard horrible reviews and some great ones. To me it seemed ok I guess.

You Get What You Pay For—Service Sucks – Hotel completely dropped the ball on mailing an important and valuable item I'd inadvertently left in the room, despite the fact I stayed there six nights and had at least a dozen telephone conversations with people in housekeeping and on the front desk. Manager never returned a call despite promises. Despite instructing (and paying for) the item to be sent by FedEx, it was simply dumped in a #10 envelop and sent regular mail. Item was stolen and never reached me. I'll never stay at t... read more

Great! – I stayed here for a week by myself. I got a different room than I expected, but I had a bunk bed, with a tv attached to both and I had lots of room. I had a sink in my room, bathroom was in the hall but it was so clean. nothing wrong with it. there are lights on the wall above your door so you can see which bathrooms are available. I had to stay a few night longer than expected and this wasnt a problem at all. I could pay in cash or credit which was great cause at one time I only had cash left. great service, restau... read more

There were people smoking in a room on our floor and we woke up in the morning with acrid smoke in our room and in our clothes. This is not a nice thing to wake up to if you are a non smoker. We told the staff 6 separate times and each time they reluctantly said they would take care of it. On our 3rd morning we were woken up early by the smoke and had hoarse voices from it. We called downstairs to request another room on another floor and they treated us as though we were asking for something that was not reasonable. They fi... read more

Your loss – If you don't stay at this hotel. It was near all the attractions. The restaurants that were recommended were great. Nice and friendly staff and definitely quick to help with whatever was needed. It was a great stay!

A mod, thrifty hotel for visitors who aren't planning on camping out in their rooms. – The Scene The quick, efficient style of mass transit--sans grime and disrepair--embodies this midtown find for the young, hip and budget-conscious. At every turn, you'll be reminded of your travels: from the lobby's wood paneled walls that conjure up a yacht to the camper-sized rooms. And inside each room, or pod, in-room sinks are modeled after those in airplane bathrooms with above-door lights flashing "occupied." Joining the Mile High c... read more

GREAT SURPRISE IN THE BIG APPLE!! – When a friend suggested we stay at the Pickwick Arms - in bunk beds - I envisioned a prison cell, one step from hell. What I found was a bit of heaven on New York's elegant East Side! Yes, there were bunk beds, but the matresses were so luxurious, I practically fell asleep immediately. Each bed has its own flat screen television, and each room has a high-tech stainless basin. We were on the 5th floor, and there were four bathrooms, and in four days, I never even had to knock once. The show... read more
