    The amenities fee.
    Jennifer S.

    The rooms are outdated. The AC does not work properly (due to controls from the hotel). The location is next to an event venue that plays loud music all night long until 2am. The Internet was out our entire trip basically but they managed to charge our credit card the amenities fee, even though the Internet is part of that fee. The staff are lovely and I empathize with them because they work for a terrible hotel. The restaurant/bar was great with good food and a great bartender.

    Middle of the road. Pretty good, could have been better. Rooms & options for rooms are mostly great except for a few things. There was a wet spot in the floor and a few other strains. We thought the spot might be from the steam cleaner except, the spot never dried. It was almost like an oil. Told the front desk and they just kind of acknowledged it but did nothing about it. Steam cleaning the floors in manhattan is so important because you are literally out walking around in horse poo on the sidewalks all day among other unpleasant things. Honestly it's kind of uncommon to have carpet a lot of hotels have tile. We ran the tub just so we could soak our feet. There was some kind of residue in the tub, maybe some kind of comet powder cleaner, despite rinsing the tub multiple times the residue kept being super visible in the tub so we gave up. Everything else was clean, but I'm guessing they don't steam clean at all and the attention to detail could be better. Rooms were okay, I didn't get the room I booked because apparently my capital one 3rd party booking site had been provided with the wrong photos of the accommodations. Despite that, the views were decent. The hotel breakfast/lunch restaurant as well as the dinner rooftop restaurant and bar were extremely pleasant and the food and service were great, but both had very limited menus. The concierge staff were friendly. Overall I would stay here again, but perhaps I would book a suite, hopefully they take better

    I was quite disappointed with my stay here. The room itself was very old and rundown. The tile in the shower was eroding and the room smelled hot and musty. The towels were torn along the perimeter. The toilet required three flushes for contents to go down each time. My only good experience was with the bellhop who was an absolute gentleman and helped me with my bags the entire time. I was extremely disappointed with my stay and did not feel that the rate for my one night was reflected at all in my experience.

    Came for a two day stay for an event near this hotel. Ink 48 hotel is located in the Hell's Kitchen area of NYC. It is within walking distance to Times Square (~15 minutes) and Moynihan Train Station (15 minutes by car). The Manhattan Cruise Port is a block away, which makes it a perfect location for a pre-cruise stay. Upon check in the staff were pleasant and our room was available. We reserved the suite, which had a separate bedroom and a pull out sofa bed with a TV in both areas. The bathroom had great amenities ( shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion) and bathrobes. There was an iron and ironing board, safe, and a mini fridge that doubled as a mini bar with non-alcoholic drinks (fyi: go to a store in the area to get water, $8 for a bottle of Fiji water is too much) along with sweet and salty snacks for purchase. They have room service and rooftop bar onsite with sweeping views of the city. The hotel is within walking distance to a variety of restaurants, bars, and variety stores. All in all, a great hotel for our stay and one we would consider staying at again in NYC.

    Note: Feb. 2026 VERY LOUD MUSIC FROM A CLUB (Cantina Rooftop) TILL 4 AM will keep you awake. Avoid the north wing when you check in!!! --- The hotel is good and the staff esp Omar and Devon were wonderful. The location is a block away from Pier 88 cruise terminal, that's why we stayed here overnignt. Details: We did not sleep until 4:30 AM due to the VERY LOUD NOISE coming from rooftop club called Cantina. To cover the disturbing loud music in our room, we blasted our white noise machine..but it didn't help. We still heard the heavy base of the ridiculous music. By midnight, we couldn't take it any longer so I went down and complained to Devon at the front desk. I asked if he could move me to a different room. But he said the hotel was sold out. He said he has called the police about this. (Like the police can ask the club to turn the music down) . Hmmm. As expected, No police ever arrived. But Devon was nice and apologetic and it's not really his fault. I'm sure that I'm not the first guest who stayed in the north wing who experienced this. Again, when you check into this hotel, tell the front desk that you don't want to be in the north wing! You're welcome!

    INK 48 Hotel Midtown NYC My wife and I rented a king-size room at Ink 48, located on 47th Street and 11th Avenue in New York City on Saturday, October 11, 2025, in room #509. My credit card was charged $498.00 +$146.00 = $644.00 for a one-night stay. The room is filthy dirty starting with the carpet throughout the room. The sofa was equally as dirty. I used my " black light" and saw nasty stains. The shower was dirty and the water would not drain properly. The electrical outlet is broken and couldn't charge my cell phones. The staff wasn't pleasant at all. I'm retired from the New York Police Department and have 15 years of service retired from the Department of Defense Pentagon. My wife and I are leaving on a Norwegian cruise trip on Sunday and thought that this would be a safe, clean, and respectable hotel to stay. Especially for the price however, I was wrong. Even the bed sheets have dirty stains on them. I have pictures and videos to show facts of what's written and reported. I would NOT recommend this hotel to my fellow employees and my retired colleagues. Totally cost 644.00 for a dirty filthy room for 1 night. I have more pictures with " black light" used and videos.

    The hotel room itself was wonderful. I had a gorgeous view, the room was clean, nicely decorated & comfortable and the hotel was located in a great location for my needs with visiting the convention center down the street. Ambiant noise wasn't bad considering my room was near the elevators. Street noise wasn't bad at all, I was on the 14th floor. The staff was also very friendly, especially one gentleman, Musa, who was always helpful with luggage, info & a cheerful greeting. The negatives were the bar and restaurant were both closed during my stay and I wasn't informed until about a month after I made my reservation. They did offer a breakfast set up just outside the restaurant with limited items available at a reasonable price. The woman handling the breakfast area was very friendly and accommodating however 2 days the card reader didn't work and they could only accept cash. She also could have used some help as it hit the busier hours. Also no air condition (or very poor AC) in the breakfast area and around the lobby, elevators and hallways. The room AC worked great except one day I returned from being gone most of the day to find housekeeping had turned my room AC off entirely. Another day I had tried to keep the room cooler by leaving the blinds down half way (100° days and huge windows in the room) and housekeeping opened them all back up. Overall I would stay there again but they need to resolve the restaurant & rooftop bar situation. That was a huge disappointment. I'm hoping this was a pre-renovation type of issue.

    I wasn't really sure what to expect before my stay, but I was so pleasantly surprised by Ink48. I had a tricky trip up to NYC in terms of my timing. I had an important video interview that was going to be recorded, but the time for that was at 3pm. That meant that if I checked in on the day of the virtual interview I would be risking the room availability being at the mercy of my check-in time. However, if I checked in the day before the next day check out would have been too early. Additionally, the hotel has very limited common areas to use in general but definitely none that can guarantee a quiet backdrop. I took a gamble and booked for the night before. The person on the phone earlier indicated that there were not late checkouts, but when I arrived the person checking me in was one of the nicest humans I've ever encountered. After a long day and a late night arrival, I told him my predicament (even asked if I could maybe check out on time and then just use a vacant room for 40 mins to take the call) just trying to explore options that wouldn't impact their flow of business. He ended up making note to just allow for a late check-out to immediately follow my call which I was so grateful for! I also ended up lucking out on a room upgrade after booking last minute via Priceline while on the train from DC. When I arrived he told me that the room I had booked had actually sold. Since it wasn't my error and I had already paid, he upgraded me to a super spacious suite! They also have an amazing rooftop bar and lounge that I had been to before, but never realized was affiliated with the hotel. It's massive and has some of the absolute best views of the city. All in all I had an awesome stay, but I think a huge part of it was thanks to the kindness of the person that check-in me when I arrived late in the evening. He really was an angel in disguise and I'm so appreciative that he was so hospitable and accommodating!

    Really the only reason to stay would be to get a pic for instagram. Use mine, save your money, skip the stay. The room up close had broken vent flaps exposing the HVAC, a dirty balcony with confetti from a prior guest, chips in the floor, loose outlets, and a few other less than desirable aesthetic flaws. And the valet was a wild experience. All in all, mediocre at best, definitely not worth the $900 nightly cost with valet.

    This review is a bit late- stayed for my birthday and had a nice time. The front of the house staff very friendly and helpful. Great suggestions to restaurants and night scene in my hometown of NYC. They have a rooftop bar which has nice views and yummy drinks. The room at first glance looks nice, plush and inviting. After putting my bags down and looking, the carpet has lots of stains, the edges of furniture could use some TLC and maybe some Murphys oil. The bed was a fluffy cloud of softness & my fave part as was the wall art. Room service was good and so were the views. Location wise it's close to the west side hwy which can be quiet at night so be mindful at night or take a car service.

    From a wedding guest point of view…read more Wedding was right before the December Storm. This is rated as one of the most expensive venues in NYC. Yes, the views are amazing, however the weather has to be just perfect. Especially if you plan to use the outdoor patio. Which, why wouldn't you? The space itself is not for large groups, wedding party size approximately 50. Plus the wait, bar & other service staff. The location is prime, if you plan to take a car, remember this is NYC & traffic is bad. You can probably walk faster than a cab or car service. Especially during the month of December. NYC gets more visitors in December than all year long. The venue has 2 bathrooms for women which is not good, however worked for this crowd. Think of this location as a once in a lifetime, only if you have the funds for this location. As guests we were thrilled to be invited to such a lavish wedding!

    Thinking of getting married at 620 Loft and Garden? Here's a short review from a wedding…read morephotographer's point of view: If budget isn't an issue, this place is simply magical! Rooftop wedding in the heart of Manhattan with incredible views of St. Patrick's Cathedral & Rockefeller Center. What more could you ask for? It's makes for one incredible experience for not just the bride and groom, but for all of the guests who are always completely blown away. As close as it is to being perfect, there are few things to keep in mind: 1. If the weather doesn't cooperate (as it didn't during the wedding I shot there, when it rained right before the ceremony), the main garden does get quite soggy. It got bad enough that the bride had to walk around the guests via the outer walkway instead of through the middle. Definitely not the ideal way to make an entrance. 2. The inside is as simple as it gets, so it's really up to you(r planner) to make it something amazing. Basically, picture a clean, white room; a blank slate. If minimalism is your thing (as is with me), then you'll love it. Otherwise, plan to get creative! 3. Space. It's definitely not for large events. Even for smaller weddings, the cocktail hour gets quite cramped. But if you're planning on getting married here, you know that already. From a solely photographer's perspective, while it does make possible some absolutely stunning shots (one of my favorite images was taken here, which you can see in the Photos section), the size of the venue as well as the blank indoor space does limit how creative you can get. If you're looking to get a wide variety of photos, I'd highly suggest you stop by another location for or after the First Look and get portraits before heading to 620 Loft and Garden. If you're set on getting married here, a gallery of a real wedding from 620 Loft and Garden is up on my site, so feel free to check it out for some wedding ideas!

Why, stop by the Holiday Home of course!! Held in a historical mansion on the Upper East Side of New York City, come prepared to be inspired and enchanted as you walk through the house, each room designed by a different interior designer, to a different holiday theme (think, New Year's Eve, St Pattys, Christmas etc) or special moment in life. Every single room here is SO gorgeous, with furniture from some of the most luxurious brands in the world. As I walked through the rooms, I imagined what it would be like to live in a house like this, a life of luxury, with cocktails at 3 and constant dinner parties. And if you're one of the lucky few who can actually afford to live in a house like this, then the Holiday Home would serve as a life sized inspiration board for you... You get a catalog at the entrance and it serves as a reference to any piece of furniture displayed in the house. The designers themselves are also there in their respective rooms and are more than happy to talk to you about their work / offer to come design your house (if that's what you're looking for). It is a $35 entrance fee that goes towards the Breast Cancer Foundation, though, even if it didn't, so worth it getting to spend an afternoon in the shoes of an Upper East Sider. Lastly, everyone's so incredibly nice (you'd expect them to be snooty but there are absolutely no airs here), though, I would dress nice and perhaps not show up in sweats if I was gonna go. Haha. There is also an adorable little heated courtyard cafe that serves up ready made sandwiches, teas and (not so yummy) macaroons. But very nice and pretty to sit at. All in all, one of my favorite things we did in New York this past trip! Perfect for getting into the holiday mood (:

They didn't cheap out on the furniture either. The seats were comfortable and the flatware was very nice, with the Cipriani logo along the top of the plates. The food was excellent. This is usually where almost all banquet halls breakdown somewhere. Whether it is pasta, sides, meat or fish, something just doesn't work. Not the case here, as you would expect from Cipriani. The food was excellent across the board. The pastas, vegetables, potatoes and the meat were excellent. The beef was exceptional for banquet-style dining. Desserts were very good, too. On top of all of this, their staff was swarming around, clearing plates, offering to refill waters, keeping the place clean, etc. - they were very attentive. Cipriani really did an excellent job running our holiday party. I highly recommend them.

The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.
