Wonderful Hotel Location!!

My fiance and I went last weekend Nov 14th - 16th. The hotel was in a great location! Central Park, FAO Schwartz, Broadway, Rockafeller Center were only a few blocks away. I highly encourage you to go to the Rock...the top of GE Building. It is 20$ but well worth the money, the views are amazing!! The room was a bit smaller than a normal room, but you are in NY and the price was very reasonable compared to the other hotels so we didnt mind it at all. This was our first weekend visit to NY and we are planning our next one to the Dream Hotel as we speak. Everyone at the hotel was polite as well as the cleaning staff. We arrived Friday night at 10pm exhausted and the room was set up so nice with apples on the bed and the lighting in the room was amazing. We each took an apple, changed our clothes and headed out to the town that never sleeps....

The atmosphere was amazing.
It's an old building and sandwiched in downtown New York City so the rooms are small and worn with love; but it was clean, the staff was amazing, the water was hot, and the romantic atmosphere was perfect for my husband and I. They have two bars/dining areas on site. We only had time to try one but it was fabulous; a trendy little spot with soft lighting and wonderful conversation pits to relax in. We had tickets to a show and dinner reservation at one of the top NY spot and the hotel was within EASY walking distance to both. It was easy to go out walking and find your way back again as the side of the hotel was right on Broadway; just look for the blue glowing building and your home. It is right in the middle of everything so you really get into the city but once you?re in your room you could be in the middle of nowhere!!! They put apples on the pillow instead of chocolates which was a nice touch. I would defiantly stay there again; however I probably wouldn't stay there with the kids.
Excellent Hotel in Midtown

Incredible value for the price. The room size was typical of a NYC hotel (not sure why so many reviewers complain about room size - you're in Manhattan; it's the standard and what are you doing in your room anyway? Get out and see the city) but exceptionally quiet and clean. Location can't be beat: walking distance to Central Park, Times Square, Fifth Avenue and easy access to all rubway lines. Would recommend you stay there before the price goes up, as it always does once the hotel gets better known. Staff was friendly enough.

We are the type of travelers that expect a nice clean room with ammenities. I, particularly, need to want to come back to the room I am staying in at the end of a day. At The Dream Hotel I had mixed feelings about wanting to come back. I felt the room was clean and functional but not inviting. The lobby appeared dirty but once upstairs the room was not. We had to change rooms due to fan noise and the front desk was accommodating. L'Occitane products in the bathroom was a nice touch. I guess the size of the room really surprised us. The bed (a full size) barely fit in it. It was very compact living for two people.
Given the prices of hotel rooms in NYC I probably would go back but reluctantly. I would hope to find something more inviting in that price range but that is highly doubtful.
Should be call

If you want rude staff, hip-hop noise, and over priced rooms, by all means, stay at this hotel. Zero management skills! Will never stay at this Hotel chain again.
