Reviews
The hotel is generally well-liked for its location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. However, there are consistent complaints about the $30 destination fee, noise from the nightclub, and small room size.
- Great location
- Friendly and helpful staff
- $30 destination fee with limited value
- Noise from nightclub disturbing sleep

Position. Stop. * The windows have zero soundproofing. You can hear everything, even from the higher floors — actually, it’s even worse up there. * There is no free Wi-Fi. You have to pay $9 per day just to send messages, and if you want actual internet access, it’s $15.90 per day. Seriously? Are we in New York City or in some remote village? * The bathroom toilet makes strange noises for about five minutes after every flush. * There is no wardrobe. Yes, serious hotels in New York have wardrobes. This one does not. * Constant noise from the venue/bar upstairs, with people yelling, coming and going drunk at all hours. * There is no minibar or refrigerator in the room. We booked a King Corner Room with City View, supposedly one of the better rooms. It’s ridiculous that you can’t even keep a bottle of water cold. * Rude staff, especially the useless guy sitting near the elevators. I’ll be making a public complaint about him. Extremely rude. I understand you’re unhappy with your life, but that’s not our fault. * Homeless people standing right outside the entrance bothering guests the moment they walk out, repeating nonsense and harassing passersby, while the staff does absolutely nothing about it. Embarrassing. For a hotel that presents itself as a premium property, this experience was completely unacceptable. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone visiting New York.

Great location and staff are friendly. Nice view from the 23rd floor. Very slow elevators (they block off 2/4 each weekend for the club that's on premises). Had to ask 3x to get the travel crib that should have been there on check in. Very expensive for what is provided - small room, had to have bar fridge sent up, no water provided each day by room service etc just not a 4 star experience.

It was close to my office 1- The water shut off from 12- 5:30am. I never received an email. I would expect an email from the hotel or booking.com. very up set over this i would have booked another hotel. 2- No room service after 11pm. Its NYC - room service should be available until 2am. No room service for breakfast either! 3- You cant get into the front of the hotel at night because of the club. It’s loud and annoying. Hotel should have that figured out and have the libr go in the other direction since the business are closed at night 4- room and bathroom is very small. They dont have complimentary water or robes. 5- I wont be going back to this hotel

Location Housekeeping didn’t dust the rooms, dust particles were visible on furniture, walls and doors. Housekeeping didn’t give us the right number of towels one time and left soiled or stained pillowcases on the desk. Telephone couldn’t be fixed.

Great location. Friendly staff. Efficient and clean housekeeping. Modern hotel decor. Larger than average hotel room. Free water and snacks available. Outdoor covered seating at hotel entrance. Elevators can be slow. Noise travels easily. No refrigerator in the room. Lack of environmentally protective practices.
- 2/5
We had a corner view room and was told it was larger than average. The wardrobe was only 12 inches wide so we ended up living out of suitcases with clothes over the floor. On most days the rooms did not get made up until after 3-4pm so sometimes we would go out and come back to an unmade room with no clean towels. Not a hotel I would recommend or stay at again

Great location with lots of walkable restaurants, coffee shops, and subway nearby. We found it easy to get around many of the popular NYC sites from this location in Chelsea. Would definitely stay here again.

We had no hot water - called the front desk - they sent someone up to check - he showed up after 15 min - checked the water in the washroom sink ( not the shower ) and said give it till dinner time I just turned on the boiler ? 🤔 okay no… 4 girls coming in from Canada for 5 night with no shower isn’t good. We told the front desk once we got down to the floor and said we had reservation. ( dinner ) and if there isn’t hot water we’d like another oil or we’d have to leave . Once we returned At 7:30 pm we still had no hot water - the front desk gave us another room but it was smaller then the original one so they brought us to the 8th floor room 810 ( we had hot water in that room - and that’s what we stayed in - Just upset that we had to repack all of our belongings and told to wait for the boiler to get hot in order to shower ? We paid 3200 for 4 nights 5 days we shouldn’t have to had moved to 3 rooms to be comfortable l.

First things first DO NOT PAY FOR THE “CORNER VIEW” it’s not worth a penny, our friends stayed at the same property and paid less for a normal room and had an incredible view way better than ours, so don’t shell out for the “corner view” it’s just not worth it. BUT staff was so kind, especially housekeeping, the hotel was so clean and accommodating it was refreshing and everything else seemed to go down beautifully. The location is great. Everything is super accessible, transportation food everything and anything is either on the corner down the street or a couple blocks away which was so convenient! Want to give another big shout out to the entire staff who were also kind!

Toilet was jammed, service team haven’t closed our room after cleaning, so we came back to the room full of our stuff with the door staring open for half a day. Service was bad, staff are not knowledgeable neither friendly. At the checkout they couldn’t split out bill in two, only one payment station was working… no apologies or refunds at the end of this awful experience

The view from the room is amazing up on the high floors. The room is very comfortable. Cons: there is a bar on the 39th floor that goes untim 4am and is veru loud with dance music. But if you have white noise you wont hear it. Also when I was there the gym was a hot mess, buckets everywhere filled with water , I guess they had a leak. Could not work out the machines were affected by it. The staff was all very friendly and caring.

Awful. I was at this property in August and the air conditioning in my room was broken and the room stayed hot, humid and smelling of must. I notified the front desk Vincent who assured me maintenance would resolve the issue. When I returned later that evening the room was still hot. Again I went to the front desk, spoke with Jason who stated there were no other rooms available and maintenance would fix the air. Maintenance came could not fix the air, said the rooms were without air conditioning as well. Maintenance guy brought up a noisy fan with a sound decibel like a jet engine. Was informed by hotel manager Kim that I need to request a refund through Expedia. Absurd experience

Breakfast at the hotel was honestly one of the worst I’ve experienced. $35 and extremely limited choice. Very small dining area and the service was very poor. Reception staff were mostly rude, not very welcoming, and any issue we had was met with a very blank uninterested expression. We had to ask daily for our room to be cleaned/ towels changed. Very annoying if you’ve been out all day and then return to a your hotel room with no clean towels or bed made.

Not what I expected from Renaissance, but not entirely bad, either. Would have liked a bigger bar area, as this hotel’s bar was small, cramped, and under-staffed. One bartender for an entire hotel the week after Christmas was not enough. But there wasn’t room for much more, either. Still in all, a good place to get some sleep and get out and see NYC.

The rooms are small and dark and depressing, while you can tell recently updated, every wall is wrapped in dark wood and there is hardly any space to move. There aren't even ceiling lights. Tons of homeless around outside. Was definitely not worth $400 a night. We had to move hotels after staying only one night there.

The hotel is situated in a good area, and the staff always had a smile on their faces. We stayed on the 22nd floor, where it was pleasantly quiet with no loud music. However, there were a couple of downsides. The shower did not have an exhaust fan, which made it feel suffocating in the small room. Additionally, the handheld shower pipe had a hole and was leaking. Overall, while the room was small—something we expected in New York.

This was a great place to stay in NYC the location easy and the most comfy beds. The foyer was a welcoming area to sit and the bar nice. Fantastic breakfast place called Joe’s next door. The staff were most lovely and helpful.

The hotel is attached to a nightclub and people who were not staying at the hotel were allowed to go anywhere they wanted as there is no security on the premises. On our last day the AC broke and our room was registering 78 degrees. Maintenance came several times and as we later learned the HVAC wasn’t working and upper management knew about it and didn’t go anything about it. There was one man at the front desk that was having to deal with everything by himself but didn’t have the resources to be able to do anything. We will not be staying here again.

Nice hotel in a very good location. The elevators are really slow. Complimentary water is a nice touch as there is a plentiful supply. You will spend a lot of time waiting on elevators and as long as you are patient and not in a rush then you should be fine. Heat in our room did not work 1st day but was fixed.

Also, the rooms are small but well designed. The bathroom doors are actual doors with hinges and a handle. They don’t have the barn doors that are so terribly annoying these days. There are not enough elevators to service this hotel properly and there can be long elevator lines which is especially problematic during thehours of 4 PM and 8 PM. There are no do not disturb door hangers so the excellent cleaning staff will loudly knock on your door at 9 AM. It would be great if they could provide do not disturb signs so that we were allowed to sleep in on vacation. The pillows they use are very nice but are super super squishy so I needed multiple to feel like I had any support. I had to ask three times for the pillows but they did send them and we’re very kind once they did. It’s a crazy weekend Manhattan so we paid the rate of 879 a night, which feels like too high for this hotel. There’s no special quality of service, so while it’s a nice hotel, it’s more of a 495 or under a hotel, not a 875. I feel like the value for the money wasn’t there. As with so many hotels, they appear to turn off the air-conditioning or fan in the middle of the night, so if you’re like me, you will wake up at 3 AM I wonder why it’s so hot! And finally, I feel like they should have a lighted make up or magnifying mirror on an arm in the bathroom.

The property is clean and tidy. Rooms were tiny but New York is the playground! We were on the 32nd floor and we were able to hear the booms and bass of the nightclub, I can’t imaging how horrible it would’ve been on the lower floors. I recommend to get the city view room, waking up and going to bed to the Empire State Building was amazing! We also loved the little waters at the reception. We overall really liked our stay here!

Nice reception and a small bar/seating area. Nice seating area outside too. Location was good. Staff were good. The only problem was the lack of wardrobe space. Literally one foot wide. We were there for 6 days so couldn’t upack and had we not been moved to a larger room, would really have struggled moving round the room with cases on the floor

Great customer service! Feels luxury and cozy. Room cleaning every day like the check in day. Restaurant is delicious. Breakfast on point with different options and good coffee. Love this Hotel!

Also when I checked in, they did not mention the resort fee and what it could be used towards. Other properties generally welcome you as a Marriott Bonvoy customer, but nothing here. I spoke to the same person when I was checking out (to report the curtain issue above); she did apologize but it felt very scripted and cold. Maybe she was overwhelmed, maybe it's her personality but I expected better from this property.

no closets, bath robe, regular coffee. asked to get larger room and desk said they were all the same. The next night the manager said there was one... three doors down! I don't care if it's an accessible room. This room was over $450. and i had no where to put my clothes... or maybe, you removed the robes so there was room in the miniscule closet!

Fantastic place to stay in New York, near the Empire State Building and many shops around for food and just shopping. Cute little pop up markets and super close to 3 different metro stations for easy access around town

This hotel is in the perfect spot in NYC ! Definitely will be staying again. It’s so many stores in the area & also an amazing massage place across the street. 10/10 recommend. Celebrities also come to this hotel. It’s a thrift store across the street that dressed Rihanna & Michelle Obama how lit ! BOOK you won’t regret ; )

There are so many good things to write about. It was so easy getting around, walking distance to Times Square, Macy's, Empire State and also such good connections to the underground/Metro. We were here celebrating after our 16 year old daughters tough year with GCSE's. She absolutely loved it too, so happy child means happy parents. We will be coming here again.

Most NYC hotel rooms are small. So, this was the case with my room. It was clean and the cleaning staff provided extra attention during my stay. There are several restaurants and stores within walking distance. They have a rooftop lounge but it’s not owned by the hotel. So, you have to pay extra to enter. They have a restaurant but it’s hours are tricky because they’re not open during certain times. The staff wasn’t always accommodating or friendly during my 4 day stay. Overall, it’s an average hotel.

Only downsides were the limited number of elevators for its size and the common areas being pretty unkempt (used delivery boxes piling up, there was an entry coffee cup sitting on the front desk as we checked in and no one cared, cleaning supplies sitting in the hallways when not used…) - we’ll chalk it up to probable understaffing.
