In Short – Just blocks from Macy's and the Empire State Building, this budget hotel is a convenient place to stay when you'd rather spend your money on shopping and sightseeing. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and everyone gets satellite DirecTV and free high-speed Internet access. Various room sizes make it a practical place for both single travelers and families. Pictures adorning the walls come from Life magazine, the building's original owners.

I loved this hotel when I stayed there a few years ago....it was clean, comfy, has a great location and the price was right. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

Think before you go

by AndyBer

Room is TINY, only bed fits, no space even for luggage. One little window, view of a wall. Next time for 200$ per night I will choose a private apppartmnets to rent.

This place is a fairy tale!

by Mirella B

I stayed at the Herald Square hotel just for one nigth, but I will definitely go back soon! The hotel is close to everything I like to see and do in the city. I noticed how every little thing in the hotel´s decoration is well connected to its building history. I loved the chairs they have in the lobby where we can see the street enjoying a warm cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate available to all guests at no cost! The bathroom was very clean with soft and thick towels and aveda´s hand and bath soap. However, the best part of staying at the Harold Square hotel was its comfortable beds and pillows. I went to a concert at Madison square garden, which is just a block or two away from the hotel, and when I came back in the middle of the night I crawled into the bed and slept like a baby! Everything in this hotel was two thumbs up.. from the friendly staff, the complementary coffee, to its great location and rate. I could not ask for a better deal! I definitely recommend this hotel to any one looking for a place to stay in the big apple.

Best Night's Sleep in Manhattan

by gedwards56

I spent two nights at the Herald Square hotel and loved it. You can't beat the price, the value, and their comfortable beds. I've done quite a bit of traveling in my day and have yet to find a bed as comfortable as the bed I had in Herald Square.

The other thing I found unique at the Herald Square was the amount of great artwork they had throughout the halls and in the rooms. All artwork looked original and had a great old-school New York feel.

Five-Stars all the way!
