What People Are Saying About Hotel Pennsylvania New York

The Scene – Glen Miller immortalized this hotel in the song "Pennsylvania Six-Five Thousand," back when it was the Statler. The building was designed by renowned architect Stanford White in 1904 and has a long, rich history. It's a bit of a shame that it now caters to a mostly business clientele who take advantage of its proximity (five blocks) from the Jacob Javits Center. It's also directly opposite Madison Square Garden. – – The Details – Some of the 1,700 rooms have streamlined and modern looks, others have French rococo effects. But all are spirited and brightly…

Hands down the most disgusting hotel i have ever stayed
by themindhealer
This is easily the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed. I wanted something close to Madison Square Garden. I didn't need anything fancy. However, I was not prepared for this awful hotel. The window had hand prints, the mirrow was rusted, the bathroom door looked like a large dog had chewed on it for hours, the tile in the shower was falling off, the bottom of the shower was black with mildew, the air vent was dirty, the outlet plate was broken. When I complained to them they said "Our hotel is old." I tried to help them understand that age had nothing to do with it. It was FILTHY. I'd love to post actual pictures as opposed to the ones on their site. I wouldn't stay there again if it was free. If you are dumb enough to stay there at least make sure you have had all of your shots first.
- Pros: i lived to tell about it
- Cons: dirty, falling apart, indifferent staff

Are you kidding me!?!?!?!
by jaycee23
So, I was out of town for a month and my boyfriend wanted to welcome me back with a nice quiet, fun night in a hotel. This place is a joke, the lobby is beautiful but besides that it's a dump. Once we walked in my boyfriend's excited expression turned to a redfaced frown. The bed was as hard as a rock, the view was terrible the paint was chipped, the water was brown when I first turned it on. The cleaning staff kept banging on our door because there wasn't a Do Not Disturb sign, They made a lot of noise outside our door, conversing and what not. You know I'm so over Manhattan trying to make things seem so nice because its in Manhatttan, this place was a joke. My boyfriend was mad because he planned a nice night. We went to St. Marks hotel one night and it was way nicer than this place. Save your money!!!! Or ask to sleep in the lobby!!!
- Pros: Nice Lobby
- Cons: Small rooms, inconsiderate cleaning staff, uncomfortable beds, too pricey, bad view, small bathroom, dirty

For the Budget Traveler!

You truly cannot beat $150/night for this hotel. It is not the Four Seasons or the W but it will do. I stay here every time I visit NYC which is about 3-4 times a year. It is in the center of it all. With Penn Station and Madison Square Garden across the street to watch those basketball games. One time I stayed here and we had to share a twin bed. But when I went back I had a larger room, queen bed and a mini-fridge. It's just a toss up on what room you get. I will be staying there again in 2weeks.
- Pros: Budget, Location
- Cons: Elevators
