In a 40+ story hotel, only one elevator worked for the 3 days I was staying there. It consistently took 20 minutes to get down from my floor. Completely unacceptable.

The elevators didn’t work. They checked us out a day early. They gave us the wrong keys. Their attitude about the whole thing was unacceptable. I will never stay here again and possibly never an IHG property.

I have never written a review before, but this stay was bad enough that I hope others choose a different hotel. From the moment we arrived, the experience went downhill. The front desk clerk was missing for several minutes and came back smelling strongly of marijuana. Check-in was unprofessional, and he blasted loud music while “finishing” our reservation. We were told valet allowed one vehicle access per day, yet on the third day they refused to bring the car at all. When they finally did, they assumed we were checking out and deactivated our room keys, forcing us to ride the single working elevator back to the 32nd floor only to find we were locked out again. At times, none of the elevators worked, and hauling luggage that far was ridiculous. The room was clean but tiny for the price. Housekeeping repeatedly tried to enter despite the “do not disturb” sign, once opening the door while we were in the shower. The in-room safe was unsecured and swung open hard enough to split my scalp. During checkout, valet took nearly two hours, handed me the wrong keys, and later returned my actual vehicle with fresh scratches on the side. Breakfast was overcrowded, seating was scarce, and roaches were visible near the dining area. Management took my number but has not contacted me about the damage or any reimbursement. Do not stay here. Spend your money elsewhere. New York is fine. This Holiday Inn Express is not.

Elevator was a constant source of aggravation. Only 2 elevators for staff and guests. Waited 15-20 mins for elevator on 23rd floor. One of employees operating the elevator heard me express my aggravation for being charged a no show fee from Uber because he couldn’t wait any longer. The employee said under his breath “why didn’t you just take the stairs.Also almost missed a Broadway show on a different time. Only stayed for two days. Won’t be staying here again. Breakfast was great though and the attendants were friendly and helpful.

The room was out dated and smelled of mold/mildew. The elevator was broken and the buttons werent signaling to my floor (floor 25). I paid for an upgraded city view room and feel like I was scammed into taking a higher floor and paying more for an inconvenience. I had to walk up 25 flights of stairs after breakfast which wasnt ideal. The location of the hotel was about the only perk to this experience.

Very accessible location with subway stations nearby, room was clean and was enough space for a couple of days. It is a small hotel so the elevators would be really slow so just keep that in mind. Overall, most of the staff was kind and helpful with our bags and accommodation. We made our booking through Expedia so we were surprised that when we arrived at check in there was a $150 deposit we had to make, we were only made aware of the nightly fee before hand. It wasn't necessarily an issue but it was not accounted for in our expenses, that should be clarified on the website. One of the staff members did stand out from our first impression because he didn't seem like he wanted to help us at all, we would ask questions and he would respond as if it was a stupid question to ask, he would see us waiting for our turn to ask about our bags and would act like he didn't know what we were talking about even though he was the one that told us we can leave our bags in the lobby... We didn't interact with him more after the first day because it did put us off, but the rest of the staff was very kind. We asked the hotel on our second day to make sure we had room service to change towels and fix the sheets but I did notice that some trash was still left in the room when we came back. Just a small detail that stood out, but overall it was a good hotel for a quick trip.

On the positive side, the staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. However, the rooms were really worn down. We paid for a room with two double beds, advertised as one of the larger ones, but it was very small. The beds were comfortable, and the water pressure was good even on higher floors. Getting an elevator during busy hours was a bit of a challenge, but not too bad. The location was excellent. Breakfast was disappointing — the food was just okay, and the breakfast room was far too small for the size of the hotel and the number of guests in the morning. The breakfast staff, however, was again extremely friendly. Overall, mixed feelings. For the price we paid, I would have been very disappointed anywhere else, but I guess this kind of poor value for high prices is fairly typical in NYC.
