The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Manhattan Midtown West By IHG

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.

It was a disaster. We...

Liked: Location
Disliked: There was some confusion and some one came to our room at 5 o’clock in the morning because the room was assigned to them also. Then at the front desk person came up to our room and knocked on the door, asking what our names were. We had two rooms. They also woke up my son and his girlfriend in the other room to see what their last name was no apology and for us were from the West Coast so it was basically getting woken up at 3 o’clock in the morning. We flew from Washington state to New York for a cruise. We wanted to get the other day before the cruise so that we could rest after the long flight. Needless to say we didn’t get any rest. The most important thing to note is the front desk person that came to our rooms didn’t so much as apologize for the inconvenience

It is not to the...

Liked: Location was good as we wanted to be near the Intrepid Museum, room was clean and reasonable size.
Disliked: The breakfast was terrible - we went downstairs and it was like a refugee camp. I think don't offer breakfast in that state, small breakfast area that seats about 20 and there was about 50 people and one staff putting cinnamon buns from a shop box, as soon as they were down they were gone - food all over it was terrible - if you book don't go for breakfast.

Cost, very good.

Liked: Check-in staff was fantastic!!
Disliked: Fruit and sausage container was empty on breakfast buffet, no small trash container near coffee. Potatoes were cold. A $50.00 hold was put on my card upon arrival. However, I was not told about it. That is flat out wrong!!
