The price was cheap. The rooms were clean. The service was friendly. Location great. BUT, the duvet/blanket was HORRIBLE--lumpy (see the user photo I've posted), not warm, and not corrected by staff. Also loud club downstairs kind of annoying. Would recommend staying very high up. more

First let me start with the good. The hotel is in a fantastic location, particularly if you are going to be there for the New Year's celebration. Period. Now for the bad. Small rooms, bad service, unattentive management, noisy... you get the point. My wife and I stayed here in March of '09 and had a pretty bad experience. Staff... more

It was an OK Hotel, Hard to find at first so write down the address! Nice lobby and bar but rooms are small. I had a large room and it was still small. Free Wi-fi in Lobby only. 3.5 / 5 more

I have been coming to NYC for more than 15 years during the first or second weekend in December and have been in this very hotel many times under previous names. It is the location that keeps me coming back. Its close to Times Square, the Theater District and Rockefeller Center. The renovations are beautiful and the rooms have been... more

We spent the weekend before Christmas at Stay Hotel for my wife's birthday. We found the hotel staff to be extremely friendly and helpful (even though the hotel has a super hip atmosphere). We followed the advice of other reviewers and chose a large king room, which as expected was not huge, but large by Manhattan standards. Our room was... more

Yes the rooms are small (I opted for the "large" king-bed room and it was still very small) but they're clean, nicely appointed (plasma large screen TV in the room, well-designed bathroom, etc) and if you're looking to stay around the Times Square/Theater District area, you can't beat the price. Who wants to stay in their hotel when visiting NYC... more

As others have stated, the rooms are extremely small, as is the elevator, and hallways. But, the hotel is decorated very nicely and kept clean. The location is ideal for Times Square and Rockefeller walking. Not a bad value, just be sure to get a room on the alley side if possible and higher than the 2nd floor if you... more

The location and price are hard to beat, if you want to be close to Times Square. The rooms are very small, and even though I only had one carry-on bag, I had a hard time finding space for it. The bathrooms are also tiny. However, everything was clean and modern. The subway is also very close to this hotel,... more

We went to NY as a last minute trip during one of busiest weekends for New York so we had to pay over the odds. We found the Stay Hotel as a last minute offer and had very low expectations. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and reasonably large bedrooms. I had heard of other reviews... more
