    Shower was extremely small and challenging to shower. Sink faucet covered the sink so one has to be careful washing face and brushing teeth.

    Location and price was exceptional for NY. Room for 1-person just makes the minimum grade space-wise. The bathroom was extremely small but did the job for a one night stay. Best one-night stay for the price in NY while close to all the major subway lines as well as Central Park.

    This was our third stay at La Quinta. The location is unbeatable, steps away from Central Park, with a subway station close by. I've have stayed in hotels near Manhattan, but I prefer La Quinta for its lovely neighborhood and noticeably less crowded atmosphere. There are plenty of excellent eateries nearby: enjoy a slice at Two Boots Pizza (thank me later!), savor a delightful brunch at Friedman's, or treat yourself to ice cream from Van Leeuwen (they're awesome). You must visit Le Pain Quotidien in Central Park and try the French Crème Donut (located very near the hotel). The complimentary breakfast is not only very good but also a great money-saver. While the hotel and its rooms are on the smaller side, it's the ideal choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a cozy stay near Central Park without the overwhelming crowds.

    The shower conditioner container was empty; the bottom two dresser drawers wouldn’t stay closed, each sliding out 8-10”; furniture looked like scratch and dent from yard sale; the bath door has a 1/4” veneer which had separated from the bottom of the door, prohibiting closure against the door jam. All easy fixes, and minor, but for $300 / night ?!

    Location to Met Museum and Lincoln Ctr; breakfast worked

    my room wasn't made up one day, from the previous day; the breakfast meal on one day was delayed by a half-hour, because no one on staff who was available that morning had a key to the breakfast room.

    The female staff at 19.00 2/25/25 was blunt and unhelpful. She may do well in the kitchen.

    The location was great and budget friendly. Breakfast is very good and beyond expectation. Checkout time is at 12 oclock. The male staff on my check in day (around 22.00 2/22/25) was super friendly and helpful.

    Very noisy air conditioning unit. My room was so hot in January that required the aircon to be on all the time (not very environmentally friendly). Breakfast room is too small for the number of guests.

    Amazing location close to Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. Friendly personnel at check-in desk offered to keep my luggage for the whole day while I was out, free of charge.

    The hotel needs renovation, the rooms have some broken or non-working lights, but the beds are very comfortable and you can really relax on them.

    Overall the hotel is not bad, with great staff who are always responsive and ready to help if needed. The location is also good and the staff can always advise you on good places to visit.

    The cleaners did not turn up to the room for the first two days despite requesting daily service. The lift was small and waits were long at busy times eg check-in/out times. Also, the TVs internet connection was down the entirety of our stay, meaningful in-room entertainment was very much limited. There could have been a lovely view from our window but the glass looked as though it was last cleaned many years ago, keeping up with the general feel of lacking maintenance around the hotel, which was most present when looking at peeling paint on the walls, scruffy sealing in bathrooms etc.

    The executive double room was well worth the extra money for some breathing and storage space, perfect for our week long stay. The breakfast was largely good but some days the offering was too greasy, and the fruit/healthier options are limited. Still good as a complimentary offering. The location is unbeatable at this price bracket, just a few minutes walk away from many subway lines, from two different stations. As well as just across the road to central park and local bus services. The area is primarily residential and provides well received peace from busy days in bustling central Manhattan. In all, you get what you pay for and I can certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to save money on their New York accomodation.

    The staff was not quite available, i tried to call during the evening to ask informations during my Stay… nobody answered. On my checkout day i asked if i could kindly leave my suitcase until the afternoon, but they proposes to leave it at the engeances without any label or safe supervision. The room was quite dusty the day of my arrival, but the room cleaning was careful and good in the following days. Breakfast quality was very low, not a lot of choice between the scrambled eggs that did not look good likewise for the bacon.

    The position was excellent to go to north Manhattan, upper east, Central Park and midtown.

    The walls and paint could use a little touch up.

    Room size was great - perfect view of Central Park - staff was very friendly - breakfast and breakfast staff were very good - location...you can't beat it - Remember, you're in NYC to see the city, not be locked up in a room. All you really need is a warm, comfy bed, constant hot water and good pressure, clean bathroom. Would easily stay here again.

    The bedroom is small and there is not much space to put our luggage, but the bed was comfortable and the hot shower was good. The dining room is not big, sometimes it was necessary to wait to get a place to sit. They didn't offer free water to drink and the price for a bottle was costly. So, bring your water. The lobby is very small, there are only a few seats and it's not very cozy.

    Location is great, very close to Central Park, within walking distance from Target and Columbus Circle where there is a Whole Foods. Close to metro and bus stops. The breakfast was fine, it had a couple of options, such as apples, eggs, waffles, bread, muffins, yogurt...
