Hotel Stanford - New York 40.74806, -73.98767

The rooom was very comffy only one downside the air con didnt work, which ment you could freeze or cook, although they did their best to sort it out and did bring us a fan.

This is a very convenient hotel for visitors to New York - and, perhaps surprisingly for New York, our room was both spacious and quiet (although I believe some of the others are much smaller). It is unpretentious, but clean and efficiently run by a friendly group of staff. We would definitely go back there again.

Hotel generally nice, we got a good reception, the room was quite small and smelled of cigarettes and had a burn in our bedding. A great location, the conciege was extremely helpful too. Overall you get what you pay for!.............

My wife and I spent hours on the net trying to find the right hotel at the right price. We stayed over New years and the location was perfect, right next to the Raddison and a subway entrance for 34th street subway. My wife was happy too because Macy's was also just around the corner. We stayed in room 1009, it was clean a good size and had a clean and modernish bathroom. Our only complaint would be that it was hot despite the temp control turned down to min, however there were two windows and they opened so we could cool the room down. Also some times in the middle of the night there were some strange noises from I think heating pipes. But all round a great place to stay

On previous visits to New York we have stayed at well known chain hotels and have been disappointed by the overall standard. However this independant hotel was a pleasant surprise. Upgrading work is obviously ongoing but the results are very pleasing. The room we stayed in had good quality fittings and a good bed. If there was a negative, it would be that the room was a little small, but we were hardly ever in it. Perhaps tea/coffee making facilities would also have been nice. A complimentary breakfast was also provided, which was more than adequate. The hotel was also quiet at night. The hotel is well placed for tourist locations, and as such I would say that this hotel was very good value and would stay there again on my next visit.

The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The ambiance was very nice. We ran into lots of people in the elevator from many parts of the world. We found a good restaurant right next door. The staff was excellent and answered our many questions. We would definately go back.

great plain hotel in a super location. Rooms are a little worn but clean enough except for dust in the corners of the carpets. Great down comforters, hot showers, bath and body works shampoo, etc. Super location. Mediocre breakfast with terrible coffee.

The Hotel Stanford has a great location near Madison Square Garden, the train and bus stations, and Times Square. The bathroom was just fine. For the price I paid, a good choice.

Some other reviews had mentioned small rooms etc but I found my room to be larger than average for central Manhattan and for me an ideal location.Ok so the hotel is not 'brand new' so if that is waht you want, don't stay here but I found the staff very helpful and have nothing but praise for my stay. It would be nice to have free internet (and a desk to work at) but these vary all over the world and so long as there is the capability (which there is here) then no complaints....

The Stanford is right in the middle of 'Little Korea' and just South of Maceys and Time Square. Subway is on the corner and the hotel was clean and the room very large. The elevator was over-used so that was the only inconvenience.

Hotel is Very well situated, the stuff is very friendly, the hotel is quite, the breakfast is average, better to try something else right in the street. Next time i'll stay there. Bye from Czech Republic, prague.

The staff was friendly, but the hotel needs a facelift in the guestrooms, old carpet, furniture bath fixtures, etc. The bed was very hard. The location was great for our needs and the complimentary breakfast was very good.

The two positive things I have to admit were the complimentary breakfast and the location. The room was dark, dirty and cold. No control for AC/Furness. Towells only for one person. The bed was very small and more like a hammock. After unplugging the fridge only the honking from the street was annoying. The shower was more like a trickle. We stayed already in Chicago, Washington, Toronto, ... for less than half the price. But all hotels were better.

Good location, good rate, but room was small and dusty. Hotel didn't have a gym. Near Broadway and good Korean restaurants. Service of hotel was decent.

We stayed Sept 13-16. I booked a 2 bed suite that I was told was "newly remodeled".... not so much. The room was comfortable but a bit outdated. The furniture, beds, and tv were older (but still satisfactory) One morning, the electricity in our bathroom was out for about 2 hours but came back on before we made it to the front desk to complain. Also the door was kind of hard to close (so we made an extra effort to make sure it was completely closed and locked every time we left. Upon returning one day, after being gone about 5-6 hours, we found the door cracked open and unlocked. We had left the do not disturb sign on the door so no one should have been entering our room, but they clearly did. Nothing was missing. We did not try the continental breakfast but the rest of our stay went smoothly.

Very friendly staff, great korean restaurants nearby, and perfect located to see NYC, New renovated rooms are perfect. Unfortunately we stayed in anot renovated room in the beginning. The non renovated one was awfull. Breakfast was ok, though I missed some spread next to cream cheese and butter

The location is fantastic. Extremely close to a subway stop, and in the middle of Manhattan. However, the overall cleanliness of the hotel is not great. The carpet is dirty, the bath/shower area is a bit dingy and the air conditioning was awful. The central a/c only worked maybe 25% of the time. There is only one elevator and the wait can be up to 4-5 mins at times. A big plus was the continental breakfast, they had excellent pastries and juice.

The hotel is an easy walk or quick subway ride to the center of Times Square. The room was very nice, clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and respectful. Free continental breakfast was available in the lobby. They also did not charge a fee to secure our luggage as we arrived earlier than check-in time and stayed later than check-out time. The only minor complaint is that the thermostat in the room was not working properly.

its a boutique... it is a great area, very centralized. You have the subway entrance 2 stores down..macy's is right around the corner and empire state building on the other corner. The standard 2 twin room was great.. the space was wide, bathroom was awesome great place to soak your feet after touring NYC. the closet was huge.. but didnt really use it.. my cousin and I slept great on the beds.. soft and nice.. the AC was cold.. however, NYC nights are a bit hot..(not hotels fault). asian people eveywhere so if you love asian food this a great place.. cafe in the morning isnt that great for breakfast. for 15.00 you get a full buffet breakfast at the radisson 3 hotels down. staff was great OH!! AND!!! if you come early, you can tip the door guy and he will hold your bags in storage while you walk around town. we did it at 11am.. check in was at 3.. OK!

I stayed here 2 nights on a visit to NYC with my sister. The hotel exceeded our expectations because I had read that the AC was not very good and that rooms were very small. We found that our room was, in fact, small, but had enough room for the two of us and our short stay. The bathroom was large and updated and made for a more comfortable visit. The elevator did run a little slow, but it added to the feel of the old style buildings in the area. Korea Town was nice and I did not feel unsafe at any time. The subway stop is steps away, and it's a great mid town location for the tourist.

We stayed for a week and were very pleased with the hotel, staff, and location. Close to attractions, subways and bus lines, and great restaurants. The only downside was trying to take part in the complimentary continental breakfast(bagels and pastries, coffee and juice). Seating is limited in the breakfast area, and they make you wait in line until seating is available before picking up any food. The line was really long on the weekend. If you prefer to take a bagel and coffee to go, they charge $10/person. Rather than spend an hour or more waiting to get our breakfast in the morning, we opted to pick up breakfast elsewhere. Everything else about the stay was great though.

The room was good clean,friendly staff,excellent location 2 blocks from Macys 8 block from time square good resturants around Duane reade, cvs, wallgreens around the same block.The down fall is long free breakfast lines in the mornings but over all a great hotel for the price you pay.

The room was great, a bit small, but very clean. It is in the Korean district and it is a clean, older hotel with a great little cafe adjoining. It was a great deal for the bucks!

This hotel is in the centre of midtown manhattan and for that it's a perfect location. It's in the middle of koreatown so plenty of lovely restaurants around to pick from. Checking in was simple with us being allowed to do so early as NYC transport was surprisingly on time. We stayed on the 4th floor which was an elevator trip away, however we did have to use the freight one as the guest one was being worked on at the time - save yourself time and effort by just taking the stairs, also doesn't make you feel too bad about eating all the food that's available!! Room was pleasant and clean, however NO AC, major bone of contention with us as it was incredibly humid when we visited. Breakfast that was offered wasn't up to much, could do with more variety-only pastry and orange juice available, is fruit that hard to come by?! also if you don't get there early you'll be left with the bare minimum and will have to wait a good few minutes queueing before you can eat

The hotel keys did not work 3 times and 3 trips to the front desk. The TV did not work, it had snow. The small old window air conditioner did not work. It was a terrible, very unpleasant stay.

Spacious, clean room, location perfect. Breakfast sufficient. Service prompt & efficient. Good value, would recommend.

1. Stay here only in winter with snow on the streets. The hotel a/c is weak to the point of being non-existent and the room is insufferably hot once the outside temperature exceeds 68 deg F (20 centgrd). 2. Be prepared for long waits at the upper floors, since there is only one small, slow elevator. 3. Earlier, you could not take even a cup of coffee out of the "free" continental breakfast to your room, say for your room-mate, because "food in the room attracts pests" according to management (but you could buy food from outside and take it up, no one checked obviously). To avoid the inevitable ensuing nonsensical arguments, that sign has been removed and now there is a new sign saying a $10 charge for taking anything out of the free breakfast area. Not hospitable at all. 4. However, the location is central and convenient to Penn station and the DC bus stops and the room is clean.

The room was not very large but as we only spent enough time to shower and sleep, it was fine. we did have a problem with the AC the second night and asked the front desk that maintance look at it but nothing was done the room was to warm to sleep comfortablly. Other than this it was nice for the price.

Great Location Clean and quiet room Excellent staff Great stay! We would definitely stay here again and are already recommending the Hotel to friends. (Not the best breakfast, but Speedy's just down the street is great and cheap.)

Most suitable for someone who simply needs a place to sleep at a good price (the hotels.com rate, not the posted rate) and central location. Pretty minimal accommodations, but clean and quiet. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. TV offerings are substandard, however.

this is a wonderful little hotel. found the staff pleasent. the rooms are not small there quite roomy i thought. the location is quite good right near a subway station and handy for all the shops and restaurants. there was only two minor complaints the lift can be a little slow and breakfeast gets a bit boring after a few days as it just tea, coffee, juice and bagels etc.

Location was brilliant, but then staying any where in the mid town area would have been ideal I realise now that I have been. The staff were helpful and on hand, but nothing out of the ordinary. The rooms should never have been as expensive as what they were. I was shocked with how small the room was for how much I had paid

Location was wonderful for being near the Empire State Building. The King room was very large and the bed was comfortable. They were under remodeling construction that occurred during the day which we weren't aware of, however, with being gone for the majority of the day sightseeing, if wasn't too big of a deal. The continental breakfast was a nice treat and a great way to start the day - the bagels were great!

Great value budget hotel in perfect location. We stayed in a standard room, which was perfect, if slightly on the small side. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in in a long time. The breakfast that was included was adequate - bagels, cream cheese etc. I could find no fault with this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

we can hear every conversation in the street from our room

Conveniently located right next to subway. 2 blocks from Empire State Building. Roomy accomodations!! However, the room was ALWAYS warm.. We left the window open and that helped cool down the room. I would definitely stay there again! :-)

This was our second stay at the Stanford hotel. We stay here because the location is excellent. It is a 5 minute walk to Penn station, around the corner from Broadway and half a block from the subway stop. This hotel is very basic. The rooms are small with views of walls for the most part. That being said, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and we don't go to NYC to sit in a hotel. I will stay in this hotel next time I visit Manhattan.

Hotel was in a great location on 31st Street. Located two blocks from the Empire State Building and within walking distance to Times Square. Also surrounded by excellent Korean restaurants. Room was spacious, clean and updated. Exceeded my expectations. Free breakfast was also provided. Staff was friendly and professional. Would definitely stay here again.
