Eastgate Tower Hotel - New York 40.74852, -73.9749

Over all, it was a great experience with a great staff. We did request extra pillows, and there were none available, which was disappointing. Our HVAC unit did not operate at all, no AC, no heat, no fan, but the weather was mild, so it wasn't unpleasant, just unexpected.

A little outdated, but very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect loads of cabs to get you around( Unlike the upper west side) where we stayed a few years ago We loved having a complete kitchen.. loads of room... comfy beds... nice view (on the 25th floor> quiet and oh boy is the price right for 3 people

And that's exactly what you're paying for. It's certainly not the most luxurious, and it doesn't really have any extra amenities, but the location is really solid for anything near Times Square and Broadway. If I go to NYC for a night again, I'll probably stay here.

We were a group of 7 (4 kids ages 8, 7, 4, and 9 months) as well as 3 adults. The 2 BR, 2 Bath, with kitchen was perfect for us. The living area was spacious too. The staff was so friendly when we arrived and Patrick the bellhop could not have been nicer. We parked our van there and they whisked it away as soon as Patrick took all the bags. The room was clean and very comfortable. For sure the room is dated, but not to the point of really making any difference at all. There was hardly any street noise, except for the occasional siren. We walked with the 4 kids in tow all the way to Central Park, Times Square, Empire STate Building, and the American Girl Place. I would say at a leisurely pace it takes about 30 minutes to get to Central Park. It really is a good location. I would definitely recommend this hotel. We were very pleased with our stay.

on the bad side: Very old mattress, no iron and room that is not that clean.... On the positive side: Close to Grand Central Will not use it again.

The beds could stand to be updated or at a minimum have toppers on all mattresses not just double beds. It was a money saver in the respect we could easily prepare one meal in our hotel each day. Public transportation was within easy walking distance and NYC has the friendliest people willing to assist with directions

Good location to Grand Central Station.

The room was larger and the bed more comfortable than I expected. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had trouble with the fee-based internet connection, but the tech support number worked perfectly and the problems were resolved. I would use this hotel again.

Outdated furnishings, but a large comfortable room and comfortable bed. Good value for the price. Would stay here again. Front desk, Catherine (I believe) was very helpful. Could use a new TV. Did not like having to pay for use of a single lobby computer.

We enjoyed staying there it was like a apartment everything you needed. The kitchen was well equipped with all your needs. It was close to subway and bus service we would stay there again. The the people were very helpful and friendly

We had a huge 2 BR, 2 bath suite for two couples. Suite was very comfortable with all the conveniences. Location of the hotel is superb as bars, restaurants, liquor and grocery stores are just a short walk away. Comfortable walk to subway and Grand Central. Friendly, helpful staff. Great value.

Yes this hotel is slightly dated, but the rooms are massive, very clean and beds are extremely comfortable. The staff are efficient and friendly and the central location is excellent. I will definitely stay again when I next visit NY.

My wife and I were looking for a hotel which would allow us to cater for ourselves for breakfast, give us enough space to chill out in the room if we wished to and in which we could get a good night's sleep whilst being in a good location. The Eastgate Tower Suite Hotel managed all of these. Less than 10 minutes walk from Grand Central Station meant easy access around town with a Metrocard, but still allowed us to be in a quieter part of town, meaning you could turn the aircon off & open a window without hearing horns all night. Carol, Donna & all the other staff in reception couldn't have been more helpful. It is fair to say that the decor is a little past its best in places, but that did not detract from our stay. If you are looking for what we were, it comes highly recommended.

The service was friendly, we chose east gate hotel for the fact it had a kitchen. The hotel it self is a bit old could use some renovation...but it made up for the price we got it for, and it clean in our room.

While this is an older building and could use some updating, it is so convenient and the rooms are so large with full kitchens it easily becomes a great choice. The place is kept clean, the staff are great and always cheerful and helpful whatever the time or day that it is a very pleasant place to be. Lots of good places to eat in the area, a couple of blocks to Grand Central Station, the NYC Library and the Empiire State Building. For the money it is a great deal in New York and I can't thing of why I would ever want to stay anywhere else.

When I need to spend some time on the east side of Manhattan, I always stay here. The hotel is old like many of the hotels in the city, but it is clean and everything always works. The best thing about this hotel is the staff, they can not do enought for you and always go above and beyond.

The room was outdated (furnishings from the 70s or 80s). It did have a kitchenette (with a stove, sink, and small refridgerator) and was clean. The room was large. If it was updated, I'm sure the price would be much more. If you are looking for economy and not luxurious surroundings, it is a good deal. If you have back trouble, the bed may have been a problem- it was worn, felt like I was sliding toward the middle. It was within walking distance of Grand Central Station, and was located in a relatively quiet area.

A roomy, comfortable apartment for less than we usually pay for a room.

The hotel staff were very helpful & someone on hand whenever you needed any assistance. The hotel was in our opinion in ann excellant location

If you don't mind 1970's decor, our family suite was huge, had 2 full bathrooms, spacious livingroom, firm & comfortable beds, cold a/c and a functioning though rundown kitchen. The sofa would be more at home in a dumpster and the microwave was tiny, but none of these details mattered to the 4 of us. We enjoyed having a space that was comfortable and easily accessible to Grand Central & Times Square. Our major complaint was the $15/day WIFI fee. Staff was helpful and courteous & housekeeping surprisingly provided daily.

We stayed for 3 nights at Eastgate Tower Suite Hotel in a medium sized room with 2 double beds. Overall the room was clean albeit a bit tired and shabby. The location is OK and is within easy walking distance of Empire State, 5th Ave and Times Square. The hotel staff were helpful although we only had to interact with them on about 4 occasions. The hotel restaurant was closed for renovation during our stay. In summary I would recommend this hotel to stay in but believe that there will be better places to stay out there in NYC for the same money.

Large room, furnished kitchenette, very clean bath and towels. Quiet. Grocery store and bus stop within two blocks. A great value.

HOTEL WAS IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD .LOTS OF RESTAURANTS AND CONVIENTANT STORES VERY CLOSE.WALKING DISTANCE TO GRAND CENTRAL SO IT WAS EASY TO TAKE SUBWAY TO ALL LOCATIONS.ROOM WAS HUGE .HOTEL WAS VERY CLEAN.FANTASTIC FOR THE PRICE.WOULD STAY AGAIN.STAFF WAS HELPFUL AND NICE.

Loved the space. Sure, it is an older hotel, but that is the flavor of New York. It was very clean. The staff was helpful and professional. Great cafe for breakfast on 2nd - Townhouse Cafe. Best pizza at Abetino's on 2nd. Having a whole apartment with a kitchen made for a great stay.

I have stayed at the Eastgate before, many years ago and my wife and I were pleased. The location is nice although a hike from the subway. The parking is expensive--$34 per night. I think they should make better accomodation for those few guests who need a car in NYC. At least it is directly next to the hotel. The internet is not free which they should consider changing. The room was fine and has the advantage of a kitchen. The a/c was more than adequate. In the end, it was an acceptable price per night: certainly good by NYC standards.

This hotel was perfect for a family or others looking for a full service room. The kitchenette comes with dishes, glasses, pans, etc. Everything needed to cook or store food. Times Square is a short walk away and Grand Central Station is about 4 blocks from the hotel. Bryant park was a nice place near by as well. Buy a Metro pass and you can ride the subway and buses all over town. Not a lot of good places to eat close to the hotel, but there are a few small markets in the area. 3rd Avenue has a lot of restaurants and bars. The Go Shuttle will take you to and from the hotel (shared ride) for around $20/person. The hotel was clean, but not the most modern in furniture and extras, still a nice place to stay. I would surely stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel from July 15th through the 21st. The hotel was very conveniently located for travel around Manhattan and was within walking distance of anything in Midtown. The beds were comfortable and clean, but the rest of the room needed some serious cleaning and updating. I didn't feel comfortable walking on the carpets without my flip flops and the bathroom could be a lot cleaner. One thing I really did not like was that I asked for a non-smoking room because of my severe allergy to smoke, and I could immediately tell upon entering the room that someone had smoked in the room at one point in time. The building is a converted apartment building and there is nothing that can be done to mask smoke. It still lingered in the room and every morning I had to battle my congestion and allergies. People who are very allergic to smoke should stay away from this hotel as they cannot gaurentee a true non-smoking room. We got a very good rate and the room was spacious and if you can deal with the lingering smoke, than this is a very good bang for the buck.

The hotel was in a good neighborhood with plenty of deli's, markets, and small diners. Walk to the subway/Grand Central Station was very doable. The hotel itself needs major updating. The room was big and comfortable with a nice small kitchen. It was dusted, vacuumed, and the bathroom cleaned everyday with clean towels and linens but it really needed a deep cleaning. There were dirt marks around the handles of the doors and around lightswitches. The carpet could use a good shampooing. But all in all, for the price we paid through hotels.com, it was a good place to stay.

The suite looked like a converted 1 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen (dishwasher, full fridge, microwave, oven, eating/cooking utensils). We fit 6 adults comfortably. The location is a few blocks away from the train station so it was very convenient. Also, there were plenty of convenient stores/banks around.

The rooms were a comfortable size and clean,a good location-lots of good restaurants,shopping,museums and the Theater district are nearby( Grand Central and Penn Station are close if you need to use the rails too). Staff was Ok,the lobby is nothing to speak of (but who cares),the restaurant was closed so we didn't check that out, but there are so many good deli's etc on 3rd Ave that it didn't matter.

I stayed at the hotel for a total of 10days and I am extremely happy with my stay. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful, housekeeping was fast in bring up anything we needed. The room was amazing, really big and convenient. Bathroom size was perfect, it wasn't big and it wasn't small, but enough to do what needs to be done. The kitchen seemed like a good medium size, typical NYC size kitchens, but I can't say how well it was because we never used it. Over all, I would recommend the hotel to everyone, it was in a great location, only blocks from Grand Central, which made our trips back to the hotel at 2am very convenient. Another reason for the location being so great is it takes you away from the busy, noisy side of NYC to the quiet side, but at the same time isn't isolated from the city. A great location all together.

Great hotel for families or groups. Very large room with plenty of space for all. Only a few short blocks to all the action.

The Eastgate Tower could stand some renovation, but if you don't need to stay in a new/fancy/updated hotel, there is a lot of value here. Each room has a kitchenette. The room is sufficiently large and comfortable. The location is convenient. The staff was exceptionally helpful, especially Carol at the front desk. I stayed there twice, and would happily return.

This city makes me so happy...however its also great when you have somewhere nice to stay. The eastgate tower suite hotel fulfilled this...the rooms were huge for NYC standards, the kitchen was a great bonus. The double bed was VERY comfortable, the bathroom was a nice size too. The room was clean, housekeeping did a very good job and even cleaned our kitchen utensils for us after leaving them in the sink. Its not a 5* hotel however value for money it really is 5 stars. Its 3 blocks from the nearest subway line and a 10 minute walk to time square. Also there are some great staff. Only criticisms, safe deposit box was bit small, sofa bed was uncomfortable, resturant was closed and could do with a lick of paint. Overall GREAT!!

We were flying out on an international flight from JFK and looking for a midtown hotel convenient to the tunnel to Queens and to the train station. This fit the bill and was great for a quick early morning trip. The suite was huge, much bigger than expected. It could use a little updating and some renovation, but it looks like that may be in process. Overall a good deal in a good location.

The staff is outstanding, from the desk clerk to the housekeeping staff and especially our bellman, Luis!!! The decor could stand to be updated; but, that is really the only somewhat negative thing I can possibly say. Perfect midtown location!!
