The cool backdrop where reception is
Tiffanie T.

Great hotel with lovely rooms and views. About a 10-15 min walk to the subway yet still very central to broadway and Times Square. All the staff was always so friendly no matter what time of day and the cleaning crew was always offering to clean up or always asking if we needed anything. The bed was comfortable, the shower and bathtub were wonderful, I personally loved their shampoo and conditioner. The room was also very roomy and spacious for our things to fit. The bar had a wonderful city view that I highly recommend you check out! This place was great and I would stay here again on our next trip!

Broken light, room was dirty, they do not clean very well. If they skimp here what else they skimp on.

2 star at best only because off how close it is to the cruise port. I will never stay here again I'd rather pay for a lyft driver to drop me off next time. Its a party hotel and thats it. Club next door is so loud if you stay on the 48th street side good luck. I will say the beds were nice and the sheets smelt great which so be a standard anyway. I can only speak about my room obviously its the only place I had. I will never stay here again.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. There were cockroaches in the halls the towels were wet upon entering the room. The pull out coach had blood and dirt on it the chairs had stains all over. The front desk was horrible with checking in. Checking out it took over an hour to get our car. Trash honestly HORRIBLE.

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

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.

The amenities fee.

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.

So, I checked in for about a weekend and booked a premier king for my partner and me. Upon entering the room, it was relatively big, and you get a queen-size bed with a really nice view from where I was on the 14th floor. They give you these cute key cards with their logo, which is an octopus. I didn't book through their main site, I used Priceline and got a better deal. Their site and Priceline show two different sets of photos. On Priceline, you see a tub, and on their site, you see a shower. When I called about the difference, a nice receptionist named Devon told me that if they had availability, they would upgrade me to a room with a tub, since that's what I originally wanted. Shout out to him! He was so sweet. While the room itself is cute, the bathroom is where it really shines. It's huge, tons of space, a big and deep tub, plus a rainfall shower that's also spacious for one person. And the water pressure in that shower? Amazing. Overall, the best features of the room were the view and the bathroom. Huge mirrors, double sinks, and a nice-looking toilet. Now, this wouldn't be a real review without some downsides. I didn't like that they don't have "Do Not Disturb" signs. The cleaning staff had to knock every time to ask if we wanted the room cleaned since there was no way to signal that we didn't want to be disturbed. I personally like to clean up after myself, so I didn't feel like I needed housekeeping. Having someone knock early in the morning was not particularly fun especially since I was up all night drinking. I'm a huge fan of animated cartoons, so while I didn't mind that Hotel Transylvania, Coco, and basically every Pixar movie you can think of were playing on the TV, I did not enjoy that I couldn't sync my phone to it to play music. It's kind of hard to have a romantic moment when "Remember Me" from Coco is playing in the background. I also felt like we didn't have enough towels. I'm big on towels, some people reuse them, I do not, especially in hotels. I'm pretty sure I could have asked for more, but usually hotels give you enough that it's never an issue. There is a minibar, and while I like to drink, I do not like minibar prices. Why is water $9? That's actually wild to me. And this isn't just this hotel, I've seen others do it, too, but I will never understand why water isn't free. You're giving me Fiji water and slapping a $9 tag on it? Please. I didn't get a chance to check out the rooftop, it's March, and way too cold for that. But I did enjoy my stay enough that I'd come back, hopefully when it's warmer. The area isn't the most ideal in terms of transportation. It's walkable, so you can't complain, but when it's freezing (or probably blazing hot), the last thing you want to think about is walking. If you plan on moving around a lot and coming in and out of the hotel, just keep that in mind, you might get annoyed. That said, the views are beautiful, it's nice and quiet (heavy on the quiet), and the staff is friendly. I didn't try the hotel food, and I didn't see any complimentary breakfast options. Overall, my experience wasn't bad... it was good enough that I'd consider coming back, especially to try the restaurant and rooftop. I'd rate it about a 3.5 out of 5.

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!

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 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.

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 concierge ways always there to help us with any questions or requests we had. We loved the picnic blanket they found us for the park. They also gave us a few food recommendations.

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

I had booked the majority of my trip at another hotel, but I needed an extra night and used Marriott points for this stay. Overall, I thought it was a great place to stay. The location was very central, but it was not in the most crowded part of Times Square which I appreciated. It was a little hard to find at first because of nearby construction, but once I arrived, everything felt convenient and easy to access. The staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful during check-in. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and my room was not ready yet, but once it was available, staff members were helping guests check in using the computers. The hotel has a very modern, tech-forward feel. The room included an iPad that controlled the lights, colors, and other settings, which gave the space a futuristic vibe. The room itself was very clean and felt pretty spacious for a New York hotel. The sheets and bathroom were clean, and I felt like I had everything I needed for a short stay. I also felt like it was a good value. I used about 58,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for the night, and New York hotels can easily run anywhere from about $200 to $500 per night depending on the date. Since I stayed on a weekday, that may have helped with the overall value. The next day, relocating to my other hotel was simple because the area was so central. As a Gold member, I also received late checkout, although I ended up leaving earlier than I needed to. The only thing that stood out was hearing another guest complain about the staff, which surprised me because my own experience had been very positive.

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete.

The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team. I arrived by car while the building was hidden behind scaffolding, and the front desk was incredibly kind and patient, helping guide me to the loading area so I didn't spend my afternoon circling the block. Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem. Not a second of lag. The TV also had a ton of premium channels, which was such a fun surprise after long days exploring the city. And finally, a standing ovation for the real MVP: the air conditioning. New York was basically a sauna while I was there, and every time I walked back into my room I was greeted by the most glorious arctic blast. It was so good that my friends ended up wanting to hang out in my room and order dinner instead of going back out into the heat. Perfect stay from beginning to end. I can't wait to come back.

I was excited to stay here anyway, because of course it was on my bucket list, but the stay was so…read morequiet and lovely that I am blown away. I got a petite room since I was traveling alone which I would not recommend for a couple, but for me it was perfect. The bathroom area was the best part and not at all an afterthought. They knew women would be coming and they nailed it, down to the magnifying mirror. Whenever you get to spend time with other book lovers, it's a plus, so I also very much loved being able to talk to people in the common room on the 2nd floor. Often times NYC misses this in their hotels. The books here aren't anything you really want to read so bring your own books but all in all 5+ stars for me!

Midtown East

This is a bustling hotel with a large lobby. I visited for a conference. The hotel has a couple of…read moreexits, but the main entrance is on 6th avenue. All the meeting rooms were clean and organized. We had over 1,000 conference attendees and needed ample space and everything went pretty smoothly. Temperature control was generally good, but got a tiny bit chilly at certain points of the day. The staff were extremely prompt with setting up and removing catering food, but were not the friendliest. They have a free standing pumping station for those that need it. It was easy to access and decently clean, but could've used a wipe down by the second day. They provided a mini fridge in one of the meeting rooms for storage.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! DO NOT BOOK HERE!…read more I came here around April for a work trip and no where on the reservation page did it say that the hotel was under construction. They also offered the price including breakfast. Arrived at the hotel and saw that they only had one working elevator for a hotel that was over 20 floors high. There was a line for the elevator that you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to take. I asked the about the breakfast and they said the restaurant was closed so no hot breakfast. Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
