The hotelPennsylvania is a tourist class hotel. This means low bidget no frills you get what you pay for. but at the end of the day if all you want is a clean room with a bed shower and basic tv, this hotel more than does the job. having been to NY numerous times I can genuinely say you will not find a better priced hotel. It is clean, the rooms are a fair size in relatively good condition. I have only had two problems during many stays there and both were resolved quickly by very helpful staff. There are a few niggly points for the fussier traveller, the towels could be a little bigger, the tv only has about twenty channels, no room service. but if you want a better hotel pay better prices. The location could not be better, You are less than a block from madison Square garden, and Penn Station ( from which you can get a subway to anywhere incl. the airports) one block from macys and herald Square (hundreds of shops) and easy walking distance to times square. this hotel isnt the Ritz but doesnt pretend to be. it offers excellent value for money and somewhere clean to sleep in one of the best locations in Manhattan.

I stayed here last year and apart from the location, it was a nightmare! The place wasn't cleaned terribly well and their computers were down, so it took them 3 attempts to find me an empty room and even then, they couldn't give me what I'd booked.

That is a good question below, but I am sure it comes with aircon in New York City, no? New York is my favorite place in the world, lived there for many years and go back there all the time. This hotel is near my old house, but I have not yet stayed there.

Does it come with air-con. The hot summer months in NY can be quite humid and awful.
