I frequently travel to New York on both business and pleasure and would definitely recommend this hotel. This time I was here with my wife and daughter. The people that have given it bad marks either have champaign tastes or haven't visited New York very much. This room was huge by NYC standards (about 400 sq ft), complete with kitchen, bathroom, multiple closets, couch and queen bed. It was clean and decent. My wife is extremely sensitive to mold and chemical smells and seemed to do fine at this hotel, although it certainly is far from new. So what that the decor is dated and in need of updating? No bedbugs or roaches. Overall not bad - really! I just want to sleep here for the night, not buy the place - which you definitely feel like you're doing when staying in a midtown hotel. We spent $* plus taxes on a night's stay. On this particular night I couldn't find anything less that $* and many over $*in midtown that were three stars and above. That's a month's rent in many parts of the country. We live in a very nice, new house in the suburbs, and trust me folks, you'll be fine if you stay at the Eastgate Tower. The location is great for sightseeing, Time's Square, shows, etc. You won't want to walk there, but it's just a $* cab ride away. Because the hotel's on a cross street (39th), to get a cab you either use the one that's dropping off hotel guests or walk a half block to 3rd Ave and get one (20 drive by every minute). Lots of nice bars and restaurants on 3rd between 30th and 40th. Save your money for a half price show ticket and stay here!

I was disappointed in the condition of the bedding and furniture. The hotel seemed to be old and really needed the rooms to be updated. Otherwise the stay was nice and the staff was very helpful. The cab service was not the best, we had trouble getting a cab.
Very good!

Basically this is an apartment hotel, so you have the convenience of housekeeping, but the room is actually more roomier than a standard hotel. There's a small kitchen, and dining table, so it's easy to bring in food or heat-up leftovers. Adjacent to the building on the west side is a courtyard that is convenient to have a cup of coffe, and read the paper. The bathroom has all the little amenities such as soaps and toiletries, so air travelers don't have to tote their own. An easy walk to Third or Second Avenues to find coffee shops, grocery & drug stores.
