The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Manhattan Midtown West

Comfort and Convenience in the Heart of Hell's Kitchen

Modern, practical, and perfectly placed, the Holiday Inn Express Manhattan Midtown West puts you right in the vibrant Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood—just a 15-minute walk from Times Square and a short stroll to major venues and attractions. With clean, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a free daily breakfast, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to explore NYC without sacrificing rest or value.

Each room includes a work desk and coffee maker—ideal for late-night planning or early morning recovery—and guests have access to a 24-hour business center, fitness center, and front desk. Laundry facilities are also available, which can come in handy for longer stays.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being within walking distance of major venues like the Javits Center and just a short ride to Madison Square Garden, this hotel makes show nights super convenient. The neighborhood vibe is energetic but not overwhelmingly loud, so you’ll get a decent night’s sleep post-concert. With 24-hour front desk service and easy access to late-night transit or rideshares, your post-show plans stay flexible. Plus, free Wi-Fi means you can upload those concert clips in real time.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting to stay near the action without breaking the bank
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples enjoying a weekend of music and Manhattan
  • Fans who want a quiet, comfy place to recharge
  • Budget-minded music lovers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with the free continental breakfast served daily—great for grabbing a bite before heading out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find tons of walkable dining options nearby, from classic pubs like The Landmark Tavern to trendy Hell’s Kitchen eateries. Craving something late? Local spots stay open late, and delivery apps cover the area well.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things quiet, you’re just steps away from the lively Hell's Kitchen bar scene and a short walk to rooftop lounges, cozy speakeasies, and clubs. Whether you want to pre-game or keep the party going after the encore, you’ll have options.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, friendly staff, and solid value for a Midtown Manhattan stay. Many mention the rooms are clean and quiet, and the free breakfast is a welcome bonus. The convenience to concert venues and public transportation is a recurring highlight in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side (hey, it’s NYC), and breakfast space fills up fast during peak hours. Some guests say the elevators can be a bit slow, especially after big events. Still, these are minor trade-offs for the location and price.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in NYC and want a clean, affordable place to crash that’s close to the action but calm enough to recover—Holiday Inn Express Manhattan Midtown West hits the right note.

Even though my stay was short, I had a wonderful stay. I really enjoyed myself. The staff was really helpful and pleasant. I will definitely come again to stay and recommend anybody to book a room :)

Staff that I dealt with...

Disliked: Breakfast even at 6:30 was overcrowded. Non-plastic utensils would be an improvement

Aptly next to Hell's Kitchen,...

Liked: It was convenient for getting to the ship. There was nothing else positive to say
Disliked: Where do I start. We arrived at 1:30am after our flight was delayed only to be given the "last room available" which was in the basement. Loosely described as a room, it was more like a cupboard. It was damp, the toilet was leaking and the window looked out onto trash.The staff disinterest in moving us was clear however, after much heated discussion, they reluctantly moved us to the top floor. A better room and thankfully only for one more night. Breakfast was like a "feeding frenzy". All in all, the area is known as "Hell's Kitchen" - it was certainly hell!!

Disappointing

Disliked: Hello AllDespite the high amount we paid, we believe the room we were given was absolutely not worth the price. We are having a hard time understanding why such a room was assigned to us in the first place — it simply should not have been. Even though our stay was short, the service should still reflect the value of the payment made. We wanted to express our dissatisfaction regarding this issue. Thank you for your attention.Br

Wouldn’t stay again :(

Liked: Location, quite central but dodgy neighbourhood
Disliked: The lift was a nightmare, it took 15mins to get from 11th floor to ground floor in the morning and it was packed! Seriously, that was a big problem with one of the lifts not working.The breakfast was so busy, people were jumping lines to get a table and a bagel. There weren’t lots of choices but that was fine, it’s just that they were running out of things and was taking some time to refill. They had provided an extra room to eat but was small with no windows.Staff were changing towels everyday but the general feeling was that the room was not that clean in particular the carpet, the walls, and the bathroom.Value for money was not great either, NYC is overpriced but still it was on the pricey side for what it offers.

Awful and not value for...

Liked: I did not like Location was okay
Disliked: It was run down Standards were lowOne of the lifts did not work until day or soAsked to change the room no bath tub as promised Breakfast was awful not much choice no space for guests it felt like shelter for homeless or school canteen with plastic cutlery. Rooms were too small . I expected a bit of luxury and I was badly let down . It’s totally outdated establishment . This trip was for my special birthday . Spoke to some other guests and they felt the same .

Wouldn't stay again, especially for...

Liked: Didn't like anything
Disliked: Only one elevator working and it took too long to arrive so took stairs instead, tiny bathroom with difficult faucet, some kind of netting flapping around the outside of the very dirty window.

I wouldn’t book this hotel...

Liked: Location was pretty good..
Disliked: Fitness facilities were very ordinary and the second lift was not working which was causing lengthy delays for all guests- very old and not enough room in the rooms even for luggage.
