"Affordable Quickie in NY"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We had a very good time and the hotel was close to work.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Very nice hotel, within walking distance to subway for access to Manhattan (take the 7 or E and you can get to grand central, times square, penn station). Just a few blocks to local restaraunts. The room was very clean, excellent staff, free shuttle to subway. Overall an excellent place to stay if your touring new york city. One note, if you are considering a "view room" save your money, the view is obstructed by a number of taller buildings (the hotel is only 7 floors). Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely stay again, especially at the rate because of the new hotel discount. If you plan to take a cab from the hotel call one yourself because the service the hotel uses charges a flat rate to specific areas and you can get a cab on your own for cheaper generally.
"Nice hotel in the theatre district"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Very nice hotel in the theatre district. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic room accomodations but very clean. Would recommend.

"European-Like small Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
comfy bed, nice bathroom, great staff at front desk, wireless access easy, computer in Lobby new and rapid. Parking garage reasonable rate. Great spot nearby:EatIly--check it out for restaurants and goodies to bring home. Only improvement that could be made is quality of towels.
Right around the corner from Times Square, Room Mate Grace is a fun and funky hotel that offers a surprising bonus: an indoor pool with a swim-up bar right in the lobby. And the location is ideal: You'll be within a 10-minute walk of dozens of Broadway theaters. Wake up early and stroll 3 blocks to Rockefeller Center to see a live broadcast of The Today Show or take a tour of NBC Studios. (If you're visiting in winter, lace up some rental skates and take a spin around the famed ice rink, while the giant Christmas tree sparkles above.) Central Park, 1 mile north, is great for long walks or romantic horse-and-carriage rides.
Owned by celebrity hotelier Andre Balazs, the international Room Mate chain puts location first and foremost, with a staff that can help you make the most of your trip. Each hotel is given a different name representing its distinct personality. A big draw at the Grace is the lobby pool. Take a plunge and listen to underwater tunes, or grab a seat above water in the 24-hour lounge, where DJs spin modern music 5 nights a week. You can also relax in the sauna or the spacious steam room, both in the pool area.
Before heading out for the day, fuel up with a breakfast buffet (surcharge), served until noon. After catching a Broadway show, head back to the bar for a quick cocktail, or stay and make a night of it, with music playing into the wee hours. The bar features windows that look out on the pool area, creating a unique see-and-be-seen atmosphere. While the Grace has no onsite restaurant, there are plenty of options within a short walk--from upscale sushi to burgers and beers, and all the famous New York street food in between.
When you're ready to rest those walking bones, you'll return to a stylish room that puts comfort first. Beds are outfitted with pillowtop mattresses, down duvets, and down pillows. Catch up with friends or get down to business via complimentary wireless Internet access. Watch a late-night show on the flat-screen TV, complete with DVD player. And, with a bedside iPod clock radio, you can awaken to your own playlist.

Even if you wake up late, you can enjoy the hotel's breakfast buffet (surcharge), available till noon. The lobby-level bar stays open long into the night and has windows that look onto the pool.
There is no onsite restaurant, but the Theater District brims with famous restaurants and casual options, including classic New York delis and pizzerias.
The intimate underground pool and sauna area is a unique perk and a welcome respite in this buzzing neighborhood. Deep purple and blue lights illuminate the wooden walls of the surrounding amphitheater, where you can relax on the multi-level padded seating. The pool features underwater music and windows looking into the lobby-level bar. Get some quiet time in the sleekly designed sauna or the expansive steam room. A small 24-hour fitness center overlooks 45th Street.

Let the West Coast have Hollywood; Broadway’s lights are just as bright, and many screen actors come to the Great White Way to gain acting credibility. Area attractions include Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art. Resplendent St. Patrick’s Cathedral takes up a block at Fifth and 50th. Once seedy, Times Square now hosts ABC, MTV, and NASDAQ.

"Felt like I was in an Austin Powers movie"
This hotel was very conveniently located to Times Square and the biggest surprise was how quiet the rooms were. I slept very soundly which is unusual when I stay in hotels that close to Times Square. The decor was very hip and cool. The pool in the lobby next to the bar/club was a little unnerving and looked like they were going to film an adult film […] at any moment. However, it was very clean and convenient. Read more
Convenient to many New York attractions. Rooms small but are very nice, clean hotel and service was great. We enjoyed our stay at Room Mate Grace!
"Good location"
Times Square but on a side street so noise was not a problem. I would recommend-good price, definitely contemporary.
"Perfect for tourist terrible for business people"
Rooms are smaller than small. (and I lived in Manhattan and know a small room). No shades on the windows so the light from Time Square came through., I travel 3 nights a week for business and this is not the place to stay when you are on the road. My fault for booking so close to Time Square but even if I was coming as a tourist, I would not recomm […] end. Read more
"THE BEST STAY EVER"
THE HOTEL IS SO CLOSE TO TIMES SQUARE , ALL THE MAJOR FOOD & SHOPPING SPOTS

"NOT a hotel for everyone."
If you are going to the theatre and need a place to sleep, fine. Don't bring much stuff, and don't expect to entertain, or work in your room. The very comfortable queen bed was on a sort of platform with room for luggage underneath (good use of odd space) requires stepping up onto the platform or crawling up onto it to get into bed. There was no […] room for a chair in the room, somewhat solved by a seat and back on the platform. Basically you can sit on the edge of the platform but more than two people in the room and you'll be more than intimate. Clean modern bathroom. One unequivocal complaint was that the walls are rather thin, doors make a loud "clunk" when closed, and there seemed to be a party of high school kids on the floor. Clunks and talking in the hall until after 3am, every clunk and word clear as a bell in my room. Another note: with construction on the north side of 45th street toward 7th avenue, it was a real pain to get out to Times Square and theatres. Looks like it will be some time until that is finished.

"Overall Good Experience"
All reviews say the rooms are tiny, but our Deluxe room (which came as a surprise free upgrade) was very spacious for two. The bed was VERY comfortable and all areas of the room were clean and modern. Had a few issues with staff when they didn't have proof that my fiance was staying here with me, but that was not a big issue. Also, one review said they […] have room service, but they do not. And breakfast does not include eggs, bacon, etc...it's bagels, cereal, fruit, pastries and coffee -but I would still pay the charge to sit in the comfortable eating area and have a nice hot cup of cappuccino. Overall, decent location, comfortable room - would recommend. Read more

Great little spot!! very cozy rooms, amazing showers
"Room Mate Grace... great location. funky decor"
We stayed at Room Mate Grace for two nights and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, funky room decor and the pool on the lobby area. Location is amazing... just steps from Time Square. Two considerations... First off...beds are on platforms. Very comfortable but probably would be tricky for some seniors to negotiate. And secondly, there […] are no doors on the bathroom... just shower curtain hanging in front of toilet and shower... so cant be shy to stay here. I would definatly stay here again. Read more
"13 year-old Triplets approved..!"
We had a great room that included two sets of bunk beds, each with their own TV with headphone jacks and power outlets to charge electronic devices. It was perfect for me and my three 13 year-olds. The shower is wonderful and the room is well appointed. The staff were all very pleasant and the location was perfect - one block from Times Square, 10 minutes […] from Rockefeller Center and next door to an all-night deli. Parking across the street was reasonable for NYC. Read more
"Grace in NYC - Would visit again."
I don't have anything negative to say. We showed up early and our room was ready, the staff was friendly and informative. The pool has a misconception of being right in the lobby, but its accessed through the 2nd floor with more privacy than pools at other hotels. The room was clean, the tv was outdated, the bathroom was clean and functional though […] more water pressure would help with the rainfall shower heads. The street was under construction in front of the hotel but that is not the fault of the hotel. Its location is fantastic!. One minute walk to time square, 15 minute walk to central park and a parking garage within a 3 minute walk of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again. Read more

"Great Location, Awesome Lobby, Tight Room"
This is a great location for a hotel, as it is minutes from Times Square. The lobby was amazing with the swimming pool and bar. My room was clean and comfortable, but a little smaller than I expected, even for New York.
"Perfect location!"
Great location but just enough distance from the craziness of Times Square. Walking distance to everything. Great cozy rooms.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night and we were very happy with it. The room was very very small and I wouldn't really say it was "comfortable" had we stayed longer. The staff is very helpful and personable, and the amenities are great, especially for being in New York. If you are visiting, it is a great location as it is right in Times Square. […] The pool with swim up bar, sauna, and steam room was very nice as well. We really had no complaints other than the size of the room. I would definitely recommend it! Read more
"Euro Chic but noisy!"
room faced the street; air horn intermittently until 11 pm (wanted to go to sleep early for early business calls next day); then man howling from 4 am on.... made for a brief night of rest. fitness center limited to bicycles..... sauna was open (ergo not in service) when I saw it... perhaps it was the hours of operation... don't know; staff very friendly […] and helpful; allowed early check in at no extra charge but as I had asked for a quiet room was disappointed in the result from that aspect Read more
"Room Mate Grace in NYC Manhattan - top location"
Sandwiched between two Irish pubs and less than a block from Time's Square, this hotel is perfect for the sightseeing traveller. The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel is chic and modern.
"Definitely NOT what I was expecting"
Billed as 5-star - no way. Room very very small. Bed clean enough (and comfortable) but carpets FILTHY. Pool (big draw for me and 9-year old) is in the lobby and is a swim up bar. No way am I in a bathing suit in the lobby and no way is my kid in a bar with adult behavior. On the other hand, the location was great and the price was ok - but you should […] know going in that it's got some drawbacks. Read more
"Fantastic Location,but bathroom unacceptable"
My wife and I stayed at the Room Mate Hotel over MLK weekend. We have stayed here once before and thought the hotel was fine given the location and price. However, this time, we found the bathroom set up (with the toilet and shower in the same space) to be quite strange and we found the shower area to be so unsanitary that we chose to drive home unshowered […] the next day rather than risk showering in the bathroom, especially without shower shoes. Unfortunately, due to this experience and what appears to be a deteriorating overall feel to the hotel, we will not be staying at the Room Mate again. It's too bad because the location truly is fantastic for the price. Read more
"Great Hotel."
I was in the city for a business trip and stayed here on a saturday night. After reading all the reviews I was a little bit concerned about the noise from the hotel club and the size of the room.Turns out none of this was an issue. The hotel honored my request for a quite room ( was on the 8th floor). I had no problems sleeping. The room was large enough […] for 2 people to share and store luggage ( I had a king size bed). The bed is comfortable but is on a platform so if you have any disabilities it may be a little difficult to get in an out of but for most people this would be fine. A quick comment on the lack of ammenities ( room service, safety and lack of shampoo etc etc) that some have mentioned. This a boutique hotel so some of the ammenities you would expect from a larger hotel chain will not be found here. In a city like New York you probably do not need them. REGARDING ROOM SERVICE: There are plenty of places to eat and many would even deliver late. REGARDING ROOM AMMENITIES Shampoo etc: There was shampoo,conditioner, body gel and lotion in the room as well as a hair dryer, safe bigger enough for a laptop , bathrobes and an unstocked refridgerator. I found this all adequate but once again you could easily find shampoo etc close by as there are chain drugstores with in walking distant. REGARDING SAFETY : I liked that there was a bouncer at the front door for the club downstairs. Most hotels do not have that. I actually felt safer as the small lobby and bouncer made it more difficult for someone to get into the hotel . Lastly, I fouund the location great, staff friendly and helpful, the room clean and quiet. I was very happy would my stay and would stay her again with no reservations. Read more

"Way too small"
The location of the hotel is great for theater-going, but the standard room is way too small, more like a really small dorm room than a hotel. Claustrophobes beware. There was nothing but a platform bed and a built-in sink/cabinet in the room--no chair, no dresser, nothing to put things on except the platform, which you have to climb on to get into […] the bed, the only place to sit in the room. Definitely get a different category of room. The lobby is also very small, so no place besides the room to sit. It's also dark, and the venue of a club on Saturday night, very crowded and noisy. Read more
"Small But Cool and Great Location"
This hotel was SMALL!!!! But for the price was great. Location AWESOME! Beds Clean! Bathrooms Clean! People Friendly!!! Usually stay a the W so this in no where in the ball park. Still upscale for the price, clean and fun! Indoor POOL with swim up bar! Really like it for the price!

"Great hotel for the price and location."
Location is great. Very clean and service was good. I's like to stay here every time I go to NYC.
"They don't care anymore"
Been staying here on and off for the past 7 years. Use to be one of my favorite places to stay, but they don't seem to care about the little but important things anymore. They have taken all the art off the room walls. The coffee makers are gone. Paper cups, no glass. Old tvs. Service is unreliable. just get the feeling that nobody cares.
"Love Room Mate Grace!!!"
Room mate grace is a very short walk to Times Square! The room was cozy and comfortable. Everything is within a 15 minute walk! We'll be staying here again!
"Great hotel in a great location"
The Room Mate Grace is a fun, hip oasis in the center of the city. Not one complaint, the steam room and pool really takes the miles of walking through the city off of your feet.
Overall was good, location was great, but needs better signage to make it easier to find. Taxi ride from airport was advertised as about $25 was $40 on way to hotel and front desk called taxi for us to airport and a plain unmarked car showed up had no meter and said it was $50 set fee, then when got to airport, had to go to atm because they took only […] cash, breakfast at hotel left a lot to be desired for the price they wanted, we wound up walking a block and a half to Planet Hollywood, no crowd and real good breakfast, try not to get room with bed up against wall with ledge around it, a real pain to get in and out of and if more than 2 people in room, sliding bathroom stall/shower door might be an issue if someone is taking a shower and another wants privacy for bathroom Read more

"quaint hotel in the center of the action!!"
Everyone at the front desk was very pleasant, professional and helpful..The hotel is a nicely designed small package unlike what I am used to. The indoor pool was warm and open 24 hours a day. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay Perfect location....
"Great Location if you want to be in Times Square"
Really can't complain. The room was small but that's NYC for you but it was quaint and perfectly fine for the two of us. Our room was clean and the service was good. We were in town to see Spiderman and to take in Times Square and the hotel's location was just perfect. Good place to stay for a weekend visit.
"Hidden Gem"
My Wife and I decided to stay here for a weekend getaway to NYC. Great location off Times Square and excellent service. Yes, the rooms are small, but extremely efficient. The staff accomodated every request.
"Perfect NYC hotel!"
Perfect NYC hotel for a great price! Yes, small room, but that's expected... the bed was super comfy, the hotel manage/front desk was super nice, and the hotel, overall was super swanky!
"Fantastic"
My boyfriend and I stayed here for our romantic nite out. The rooms are small but clean and the staff is courteous and friendly. After dinner and a Broadway show we returned to use the heated pool ,steam and sauna rooms. (open 24hrs.) Will definitely use this hotel for our next romantic getaway. A++
"Great location, terrific racket"
Unless you're a fan of jack-hammering starting at 7am and going straight thru the afternoon, I would not stay here. The staff is pretty lazy, as I couldn't find a desk clerk or a bellhop to save my life. Though the service is terrible and the clientele somewhat sketchy, the location was convenient as right in the middle of Times Square. They also have […] the most comfortable beds in Manhattan, it's just too bad I couldn't get any decent shuteye because of the construction site next door. Read more
"Good Experience"
Convenient location, just a few blocks away from Time Square. My room was on the 9th floor. It was decorated nicely, and soundproof was acceptable for a city site. The only down sides were their broken radio-music-alarm clock player and not able to connect to their wifi.
"Has the air of a Paris boutique hotel"
Great staff and less than 100 yds from Time Square. Best bargain for hotel I have had in a LONG time. And the bed is like sleeping on a CLOUD!!!

"Room Mate Grace"
Key card didn't always work Smelled cigarette smoke during the night Hallways were very dark Decent value for what you get though
"Room Mate Grace in New York"
Friendly staff; very comfortable bed! Room VERY small, but in New York to see the sights and only in room for sleeping and showering (no tub).

"Close to everything!"
I just got back from a 2 night stay here for the NYC marathon. It was excellent! The staff was so nice. I traveled with my sister and they put us in a room with 2 twin beds. Perfect for us! The room was small we had enough room for our suitcases and all. The sink, shower and toilet were all seperate, which was nice when sharing with someone else. The […] beds were comfy, but the pillows were a bit flat. The hotel is very close to Times Square and directly next to The Perfect Pint, a great Irish Pub. I have been there several times on other trips and was happy to see that Roommate Grace shared a wall with them! The pool looked awesome, but I didn't get a chance to try it out. Next trip I will. Overall, a great place for a great price and wonderful staff. Def stay here on your next trip!! Read more
The rooms were small, but efficiently designed, kind of like a cruise ship cabin. The staff was very friendly. The location was right in the center of all the action just off of Times Square. We were on the 5th floor and I could hear the beat of the disco, but not enough to keep us awake.
"nice location, very small and dark rooms"
location right off times square is great. but the advertisments for the hotel lead you to believe the rooms are much larger. my truck is larger then the room we stayed in.
