Brought a group of 250 students to NYC to perform at Lincoln Center. Stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania since the price was so cheap and it's so close to Times Square.
Some of the rooms were fantastic and huge, while others were small, dark and dingy. But it was not anything like many of the reviews I read on the internet, which essentially condemned the place. It is fine, especially considering you only spend about 6 hours in your room the entire day.
The staff was very helpful and the bell service was really great in helping load and unload our six motor-coaches.
I recommend this place for groups traveling on a limited budget.
