Herald Square Hotel

This hotel is the best kept secret in NYC. After searching for over two months, my wife and I settled on this hotel because it was the best deal we found. After reading reviews of many NYC budget hotels, we feared our experience would be terrible. However, quite the opposite was true. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were allowed to check-in early, where we found a clean, good-sized room with a very comfortable bed awaiting us. The location is ideal as well, just a healthy walk from any mid-town destination.

I have visited Manhattan around 12 times, the last 5 times I have stayed at the Herald Square. For a budget hotel it is great, the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are spotlessly clean. There is a lounge just off the lobby and there is free tea,coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits provided by the hotel.

It is a good place to meet other guests and share everyones experiences of their stay in Manhattan. The hotel is situated between the 5th and 6th avenues around 5 minutes walk from Macy's Broadway entrance and the same for the Empire State Building, on 5th Avenue.

All the other famous sights, such as Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Centre and Radio City are within walking distance. For those who don't want to walk the subways take you to the sights.

I will be staying at the Herald Square in November 2008 and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Manhattan.

I traveled with a friend and two young children. The room was spacious, clean, and the perfect size for four people. Sleeping in the beds was like heaven. I have never slept so well on a vacation. The pillows were soft and fluffy and the duvet was awesome. I cannot express to you how well we all slept due to the beds and the bedding. The staff is SO friendly and helpful. You have to stay here if you are going to the Big Apple!
