Why Concert-goers love it

Its central location is a major win—just a short walk from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station, making post-concert travel a breeze. Even after a late night, you can count on 24-hour coffee and tea service to get you going again. The hotel is tucked just off the main drag, offering quieter rooms than you'd expect this close to the action. Plus, with a 3pm check-in and 11am check-out, there's enough flexibility to fit your concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to explore NYC by day and hit up shows by night
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime performance
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans seeking a quiet spot to recharge after a loud night out
• Budget-minded music lovers who want location without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect for recharging the morning after a concert. The surrounding neighborhood is packed with late-night eateries, from pizza joints to 24-hour diners. Grab a bite before or after the show with no need for a cab. Though there's no bar, the 24-hour coffee and tea station in the lobby is a nice touch for night owls.

Nightlife Options

You're in Midtown Manhattan—so nightlife is never far. Whether you’re looking for live music venues, cozy jazz bars, or lively rooftop lounges, you’ll find them within walking distance. The hotel itself doesn't host entertainment, but you're minutes away from iconic NYC nightlife.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and prime location near top landmarks and venues. Many mention how easy it is to walk to concerts and get back safely. The free breakfast and strong Wi-Fi also get frequent praise, especially for travelers on the go.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side—typical for NYC—but still comfortable. Elevator wait times can be a bit long during peak hours, so give yourself a few extra minutes when heading out. Some guests note that interior-facing rooms have limited natural light.

The Bottom Line

A top pick for concert-goers who want a clean, comfortable base in the heart of NYC—without breaking the bank.
