Worst night ever

by jsd251 at Citysearch

Following an illness on a business trip, I ended up finding a room at the Hudson.

If I had wanted to have a drink and socialize, the atmosphere would have been perfect, but for a person not feeling well and needing to rest, this was nearly impossible.

First of all, the mattress felt like sleeping on a box spring. Hard, uncomfortable, with coils very noticeable.

Second, the tv service wasn't getting great reception, so everything I wanted to watch was out.

Third, the light near the bed was broken and could not be turned off.

Fourth, being on the 5th floor was as loud as being on the street. The location is fantastic for partying, but not for sleep. Sirens, car horns, hell, trucks parking, they all sounded 20 feet away.

I thought the decor was fantastic, but would prefer a decent mattress to fancy mirrors and lighting.

Very happy with all aspects

by AGraves3 at Citysearch

I stayed at the Hudson this past weekend when I was visiting New York from San Bernardino. I visit Nyc twice a year and this was by far my favorite hotel so far. It had a fantastic night scene for a hotel, and the decor was very posh. We sat at the outside terrace for drinks in the afternoon and then went into the main lounge area in the evening before going out for the night-- we loved everything from the lighting to decently sized rooms in comparison to many hotel rooms that I find to be very cramped unless you choose a suite. I will certainly try to book here on my next visit to the city. very enjoyable!

• Pros: trendy, good scene, great drinks, indoor/outdoor
• Cons: none really, a little pricey but as to be expected

Nice Venue but Poor Service

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Since I live in the city, this review is not for the hotel itself. I came here for a social night out on a Friday night. Huge turnout and luckily I got here early! The venue plays good music and it is quite spacious but the drinks here are midtown prices.

Also, my friends got here a little before 12 and they waited in line for really long time and they wouldn't let them in unless they bought a bottle. Terrible way to do business. It is a shame.

• Pros: Nice Decor, Good music
• Cons: Poor Service and Pricey

Dark and cramped place to spend your $$$

by SunnyKen at Citysearch

This has to be some kind of joke being played on the traveling public of the world. This "hip" hotel is anything but. The street entrance is a mystery! Why was it not placed on West 57th ST?!? There's absolutely nothing "boutique" about The Hudson Hotel except for it being over priced and over hyped. If you must stay there ask for a high floor with an outside window and make sure that you have another hotel at which to stay after you decide to change hotels.

• Pros: it is close to Lincoln Center
• Cons: small dark and cramped rooms for so much $.

shoebox rooms and zero service

by travelworlder at Citysearch

Our room was the same size as the bed but they still managed to position the TV so it was impossible to see from the bed. Where is the design?

That would have been ok but the service was non-existant starting with the bell boy upon arrival, to the check in, to the maintenance service (or lack there of) to management. Was put on hold 30 mins on the phone for waiting to ask for maintenance person who never showed up. The Manager's hospitality skills offered only that I should wait like everyone else.... nice.

Run away!!!

• Pros: location
• Cons: everything else

Great Hotel if you fnd a Good Deal

by ilovetotravel1785 at Citysearch

My first stay at the Hudson was in December. My boyfriend and I decided to spend a few nights in the city, do some Christmas shopping and see the lights. I am in New York all the time for work, but I had never stayed at a morgan's hotel so we decided to suck it up see what all the fuss is about.

I called their reservations department (hoping for an upgrade for booking directly with them) and they wanted some ungodly amount per night, but a co-worker of mine informed me Quikbook had rooms onsale. They had special that if I prepaid I got it for like $200/night, so we did end up staying there after all.

Although the room was on the smaller side, I loved the bar and the staff. The location could have been better, but it makes up for it with its cool designs. All in all, I think it was worth the money I spent, so I say if you can find a good deal on the rooms, definately try it out.

• Pros: Really Unique and Chic Hotel Experience
• Cons: Rooms are known for being Small

fun hotel

by CarsonP at Citysearch

This hotel is a very fun spot on the upper west side. A good friend of mine has an office in the area and when ever I am in town I stay at the Hudson. You could hang out at the bar all night and it would be a good NYC evening.

• Pros: bar, food, and room
• Cons: loud

More of a scene, less of a hotel.

by shinerblonde at Citysearch

Worst hotel I've stayed at in NY. Very loud, for one thing. There are hoards of non-guests crowding the lobby. Definitely a hook-up location. The rooms are nice at first glance, but in bad need of renovation. Also, the room is very dark with poor lighting.

I always say the hotel doesn't matter. You are not in NY to stay in the room. However, this hotel was actually somewhere I dreaded returning to at night.

• Pros: close to major metro stop
• Cons: non-guests crowding lobby and public spaces

awesome location ..cool and upbeat hotel!

by zivko at Citysearch

Stayed here with my girlfriend for her birthday and we had an awesome good time. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room was small but comfy/cozy and clean with a great view of the city from the 19th floor.

Food and drinks wayyyyy expensive so eat somewhere else.

Definitely will stay here again...

• Pros: location and value
• Cons: food much too expensive
