My 16th birthday was spent rehearing for our concert at Carnegie Hall, going to Hard Rock Cafe, and then seeing Miss Saigon. Lost at Saks. Shopped at a Pier. So long ago...

New York City has always been a special place for Matt and I, especially before Christmas. We adore the lights, decorations, sales and overall atmosphere of the city around that time. Well before the trip happened, I knew this would be the best New York vacation yet!
On the flight from West Palm to New York, Matt surprised me with my Christmas gift which were amazing seats to go see the Phantom of the Opera on Friday night. The trip was already off to a great start! Our first two day...
Mentioning 'the best laid plans' (and all that) - well Fred & I have spent about 18 months seriously planning our holiday, and let me tell you, our first day in New York didn't go to plan! We had a gruelling 12 hour flight to L.A - I didn't sleep a wink the whole way, mainly because of a baby that shrieked hysterically the whole way - poor thing & poor parents! Josh (10) and Kate (7 ½) & Fred slept a little, though the kids stayed awake a lot of the time complaining that their legs hurt. A No...

Kapitel 1 - New York 1. April - 8. April 2008 Endlich, die Reise geht los. Auf diesen Moment haben wir uns schon seit Monaten gefreut. Obwohl wir vor einem 8 Stunden Flug gehoerigen Respekt gehabt hatten, stellten wir fest, dass wir Langstreckenfluege ueber alles lieben. Nicht nur der staendige Service war der Hammer, sondern auch das Wer Wird Millioniaer Spiel und die Filme auf dem eigenen Bildschirm. Keine Minute konnten wir die Augen zumachen, daher kamen wir auch entsprechend muede in New...

Arrived in New York and went to The Carter Hotel and spent the night. Found bedbugs and moved to The Pennsylvania Hotel. Toured a little with Elaine and Glen and an evening with Tammy. Had a great time then took the train to Boston, met there by Derek who took us to Duxbury (about an hour south of Boston) where we spent a few days. Had a wonderful time with them touring Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod.

The day started pretty normal, I woke up a little later than I anticipated. My Mom came around 5:30am so we could be there one hour before my 7:05am flight. Well, because it took me so long to finish packing in the morning we didn't get on the road till 5:50am. I drove and we got there in record time, around 6:15am. So I was thinking I’m good. Well, little did I know that Monday mornings to New York do NOT have the shortest lines for check in. I was in line for a half hour and was alrea...

Well I guess it was a good thing that I passed out, I had a long day today. After waking up around 9am I went and checked out and then put my bags in bag storage again since I planned on going out on the town. I went and took out more cash and bought a starbucks coffee. One thing I need to point out, everyone here speaks a different language, it's wild. If people aren’t speaking a South American Spanish dialect then they are speaking something else, no one is from here. After grabbing m...

Dont Say here!
Checking out was a pleasure, go and stay somewhere else - the marriot perhaps next time!
Stay away from this hotel!!!
I sent an email to hotel management when I returned home, telling them about the horrible experience at their hotel. And was told, that December is a busy time for them. Not even an apology. NYC has many great hotels, and a lot of them at a better price - stay away from this one!
Horrible? No!
N-a-s-t-y hotel !!
f yet for the winter ! it was freezing cold in new york city and raining that weekend ..so after coming from outside ..we had to come to a cold room ..we all had to sleep in our street clothes over our pajamas just to keep warm !!!
hotel sucks big time !! EXCELLENT LOCATION !! but it's also a good location for cockroaches etc etc ..for anyone who believes in ghost ..DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL ..cause i am sure they've got of a few from 1919 (the year in which the hotel opened) living there !!!! did i also mention that are room had a total of 5 connecting doors ?!? whats that all about ? the hotel lobby has been renovated but that is about it !! the hotel is titanic on ground !! absolutely awful !! PLEASE DONT STAY HERE ..SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND STAY ELSEWHERE !! one last thing ..after paying in full by cash upon check-out the hotel charged my credit card for the full amount of our stay 2 DAYS AFTER WE LEFT when we already PAID IN FULL !!
Don't go there!!
Our first room just made me cry, the carpet was grey with filth, the beds had not been made, the bathroom was covered in black mould and mildew, there were none of the amenities that were advertised on the website. The wallpaper was peeling off, the walls had rising damp and the curtains were black with dirt. You could go on and on.
Our second room was an improvement but only slightly.. there were the listed amenities provided. After a long flight we decided to have a hot soak in the tub....we were nearly sick. The water came out BROWN and was muddy.
When we went to complain again we were told that there were no other rooms available. We offered to pay an upgrade and again were told that there was nothing to upgrade to.
Although the hotel was vile and we got nowhere by complaining, it didn't spoil my birthday too much but needless to say we won't be staying there again....
Great price and location
If you get a room on one of the lower floors, go up to the top floor and look out. It's a great location and a great price.
Apparently, hotel penn hasn't changed much
Location is only saving grace
The first room we were allocated, on the fifteenth floor was dingy, and poorly lit.
The furniture was extremely old, and poorly maintained - some drawers had no bottoms.
The bed linen was clean, but the carpets were filthy and the skirting and behind the bed had never seen a vacuum cleaner.
The shower was clearly positioned for a midget, and the water trickled out. There were no sockets to plug in a hairdryer (nor was one provided).
We complained to a member of the reception staff, who said we should come back at checkout time and he would allocate us another room. We had to make several repeat visits to secure the room, which wasted a day of our time.
Eventually we were allocated a room on the fifth floor, with a view (through the filthy window) of Madison Square Gardens. This room was much brighter and generally cleaner.
A gentleman two doors down complained to us that his room was full of cockroaches, though we saw no evidence of this in our own room.
The reception staff were ungracious and rude. At one point when I had mislaid my camera, the desk manager shrugged and offered no advice. I had to find out about the security desk on my own. The housekeeping staff were more pleasant.
As far as I'm concerned, this hotel's only saving grace was its central location, and that's the only reason it deserves even one star.
Don't go!
Dissapointed
disapointed, it was dirty, the room we had was Filthy & hotel staff very rude
