"This has become my go-to hotel of late for NYC trips. Not because it's anything fancy, but the location right next to Penn Station, Amtrak, LIRR, and the A/C/E, 1/2/3, B/D/F/M, and 7 trains is so convenient. Many pilots & flight attendants whose regular route takes them to NY stay here for this reason. The staff, and particularly the housekeeping staff, is super-friendly. The hotel itself is nice enough - plenty of large, double rooms, a nice art deco style (it was world famous in the 1930s), and history (Nikola Tesla lived his last days here) - and it's almost always reasonably priced.
