Kitchenette area was not clean and bed sheets not ironed. WIndows not double glazed so traffic noise was too loud. curtains dont close properly to keep room dark and lots of street lights pouring in. There is no front desk per se and no elevator so you lug your own luggage up the stairs which are not clean. location is good enough but not significant […] enough to make up for the barren room, lack of cleanliness and non-existent support.

For all of you complainers about hotel service, etc: This is the story about this place- You are offered quiet, great restaurants, peace- no staff knocking on the door asking if they can get into your room to clean, the convenience of cooking in the room and placing leftovers in a fridge, having a terrific dinner at a Turkish restaurant at the end of […] the street(delicious), no cabs or emergency vehicles waking you at odd hours of the night, convenient check in and check out, Madison Avenue Shopping.. Need I say more?? ( 2 miles to Radio City if that is what you choose) Thanks. I was very happy there. It is definate I will return. Read more

I think the location of the hotel was really great. There is no elevator, however, and there is no real front desk. I think that the hotel appears to be a number of converted apartments. The cost of the hotel is high, despite its goal of being a low-cost alternative in New York. The reason for the high cost: hotels are ridiculously expensive in New […] York, and this place, like many others, is simply pricing their service based on the economics of the region. I had no problem with the service. Danny was nice, and he did a great job calling me to check in prior to my arrival. He also helped hold my stuff in a room so that I did not need to carry my luggage with me all day. Very nice guy, and the place was clean, and quite large. The only thing that bothered me was the price. In DC, a comparably priced hotel would be a 5-star wonder. In New York, you can't expect too much for the high prices. Nonetheless, I would recommend this to others who are trying to maintain a low budget but still remain in an excellent area. The subway is close. The restaurants on the upper east side are great. And, overall, I think it was a nice place to stay. But, New York is indeed expensive. Read more

This is really not a '"hotel" per se. Rather an upper scale 'hostel'. You have your own bathroom, loads of privacy and a great locale. The kitchenette and cable TV as well as the secure feel all make this a best kept secret near the area that Sex In The City was filmed. Enjoy!

The room was priced for fair value. It was nice over-all. The location is what I was looking for. The check in was very easy. It was clean. I would consider it again if I were in that neighborhood. Perhaps a non-loft would be better for my purposes. It is a studio/loft. It was probably renovated in the 90's and could use some modern touches (i.e. digital […] tv) and fix up. The air may be marginal if it were greater than 90 degrees outside. The stairs to the loft might be a challenge for an older person. They are quite narrow. The bed is surrounded by mirrors. The kitchen seemed nice and functional. Overall it was a good experience. Read more

Owner could have done a much better job at maintaining the building and the hallways, putting signs out for arrival (there is no one to great you), and giving clearer directions to the unit. The hotel, effectively an apartment building, is in a great location and in a beautiful street, but the lack of upkeep of the building spoils all that for you. […] Do not get there any later than 5:00 since there is no one to great you and you may need an hour or two to figure out the logistics of getting in. There was no trash cans in the bathroom and no table to sit at. Read more

I think anyone thinking of booking here should call and get a full description before booking. This was described to us as an apartment, although it did have portions of an apartment it was more like half a studio. The place had every inch of space taken up from window to wall. When i walked in we seen a small leather sofa, table, and tv. A small but […] adoreable kitchen. The bedroom was up a single flight of stairs and once you get there we found a matress on the floor and a tv in the wall which only got two channels. The bathroom was ok but the bedroom situation was ridiculous. Read more

This was like staying in a college kid's place while they were off on spring break. I did not see any service people during my stay. The "suite" was an apartment that had been sub-divided into a couple of units. The bed was smack up againt the front door; the sitting room was much larger than the bedroom. It was a hot day and the tiny window air conditioner […] was not adequate to cool the two rooms. It was no fun schlepping my bags up three filights of stirs and the halwway smelled of mildew. The neighbor hood was terrific, however, and the room die have an absolutely massive television. The WiFi connection was unbeleiveably weak and slow. Not the worst place I ever stayed in NYC, but close. Read more

Appaling. 3'rd floor walk up apartment in dingy building. No facilities whatsoever, no internet. Not clearly advertised as 'Apartment'. Dreadfully overpriced. No great impression of any security. Farcical 'phone the caretaker' check in procedure.

Dreary and depressing. Needed paint, new carpets, better sheets and and a makeover by someone who knows something about color and layout. Door lock did not inspire confidence.

TV is poor, and no internet. the room is noisy. the room is large, but desk not good.

Danny, the owner of the hotel/apartment was nice and accomodated my need to leave my bags earlier in the day, and "check-in" later in the evening. The room was lovely, clean and perfect for me. The kithchen is tiny, but what I expected in a Manhattan apartment. There really is no "front desk" but if you leave Danny a message with a question, he is prompt […] in calling back. One thing to know if you are a religious jew, is that the enterance to the building has an electronic code which presents with issues if you stay over a Saturday. One other drawback was that the internet was hard to access - worked in the hallway or in the corner of my room nearest to the door. Also, don't expect room service or someone to take out your garbage. It's more like renting an apartment. Overall, I found this to be a great location and apartment, and very reasonably priced. I was overall quiet happy with this apartment. Read more

When I booked at 254 East Vacation, I already knew it was going to be an apartment, and not a hotel room in the strict sense. Two days before my trip, I received a welcome call from the management giving me instructions for getting access to the building. I was given apartment 1, which was on the ground floor. It was actually a very clever use of small […] space: there was a sitting area at the front of the room, a kitchen in the center, and the rear of the room had the bathroom, and there was a sleeping loft located above that, accessed by a narrow staircase. The catch in my title has to do with height: if you are taller than six feet, you will NOT be able to use this particular room as you will hit your head on the doorframe to the bathroom, and you will not be able to stand up in the shower. In all likelihood, you will find the bed a bit short, too. The room could also stand some amenties upgrades: one simple one that occurred to me was a flat-panel TV on the wall in the sitting room, as it would save more space. The neighborhood is great; being able to come and go without having to say hi to a bevy of hotel employees was good for me, as I like being independent while traveling. I would stay there again, but I don't think it's for everyone. Read more
