Hotel Pennsylvania

Bad experience

Pros: Location is great!

Cons: room wifi signal too weak to get connected. Call operator 3 times and went to lobby twice. Reboot phone, other tricks. Not working. Staff show no patient. Told me to try another day... Room is not clean at all. Did not want to stay here in the future. Be aware! The hotel is going to charge you addition 20 dollar for wifi and facility. It is mandatory, although their wifi may not work!

Really Bad

Cons: This place is a zoo. The people working here were unpleasant. The lobby was stuffed full of people all the time. They charge $5 to keep your bags if you get there before 3 or to hold them until you leave. (Note - the guy working in the bag room was actually very nice, unlike everyone else who seemed terribly bothered by things like checking us in). The tub in our room was peeling so badly it looked like a crime scene. The bed was like a board. The 2 pillows on the bed were the thinnest pillows I've ever seen. The lobby was nice (except the 100 people who seemed to be perpetually camped out in it), but the rooms haven't been updated since 1911. God forbid you need to call the desk for something. There are many lovely boutique hotels and options nearby. Stay away from this one.

Cons: The room was not good, There were holes on the wall (damage), paint cracking on walls, damaged doors, poorly finished bathtub floor, poorly finished carpet on floor with gaps, old-dirty looking paint on walls and poorly finished bed platform.

Pros: location

Cons: this was the worst room I have ever stayed in during my life. Please refer to NYC health department and have them check the conditions of room#1512. the carpet was wet, room smelled like sewer, filthy. OMG-the bath room. I was really surprised that NYC is allowing these rooms to be rented. in addition, they did not have three beds in the room and end up bringing a cot and that took them 3 hours and more than 5 phone calls and 3 visits to the front desk. we considered moving out the minute we entered the room

Not worth the discounted price

Pros: The doors locked

Cons: Took over an hour to check in, and out?!?!? The rooms were gross.

Bell Hop Rip Off

Cons: Bell Hop took bags to room. I gave a $10 dollar tip for 10 minutes of his time. He looked at me and asked.."Really only $10 that is all my time is worth to you"? It was my first time in New York so I took back the $10 and gave him $20. I was later told by other staff the Ball Hop was in the wrong and that I should have taken his name and reported him. Rooms were ok at best. Not super clean.
