4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Got the WJ on Hotwire for around $200 per night and would not pay any more. The location is fantastic for theater, dinning, Times Square etc. The building is an old converted apartment building with 1 elevator serving 6 floors. We were on 3 so ended up taking the stairs most of the time. The rooms are tiny - even... More

This is the second time I've stayed here for business, each trip about a week. The location on 51st between 8/9 can't be beat for access to public transit, cabs, walking, restaurants, etc. The bathrooms are good with great products and showers--be careful: the showers easily flood the bathroom, so remember to turn the shower head away from the door....

This hotel is in a convenient location for anyone who needs to get downtown (the village and Wall St), across town (upper east side) or uptown (Upper west side). The rooms are really small and pokey. The building l and interiors look old, and in need of some refurbishment. I heard some weird banging noise on the radiators every now... More

Fantastic hotel for tourists, on the small side but then this didnt bother us as we spent most of the time exploring NY. We stayed for 7 nights and found it very clean, free wi-fi, excellent service and great location. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be in the centre without the huge prices of other hotels. Would definately... More

The lobby is very nice and clean, great and helpful staff. Elevator is small but that's no problem at all. Our room was on the 6th floor, standard double bed, very small but nice and cozy. Free internet, tv, safe and small gym. Housekeeping everyday, clean towels. Good value and close to Times Square. We will be back!

Cons - no food services; little storage space in room; no apparent ventilation in bathroom. More on the Pros - The location was great for us as first-time tourists in the city, on 51st between 8th and... More

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are small,but clean and they are updated. Two of us stayed in the room for 5 nights and felt comfortable. There was a welcome note, rose, and chocolates on the pillows when we arrived (a very nice, personal touch)!The location was great!

The price for one night at this small hotel made our trip possible. The rooms are very small, not even room for a dresser. I do not spend my time in NYC in the room and even the large chains in New York have small rooms. The room was modern, recently updated and clean. We were on the second floor,... More

Great hotel! Staff was very pleasant and helpful. They handled all our needs. A block away from subway. Great value for the price. The rooms were small but very clean and modern. Would definitely stay here again!
