The Herald Square Hotel Review

The sculpted cherubs on the facade and vintage magazine covers adorning the common areas hint at the Herald's previous incarnation as Life magazine's headquarters. The hotel is a great value. Rooms are basic, but all have TVs and phones, and some were renovated to include flat-screen TVs. Shabby-chic fixtures and white-on-white bedspreads round out the look, but beware the unrenovated rooms, which verge on just plain shabby. There's no concierge and no room service, but the staff is friendly, and nearby restaurants will deliver. It's a great bargain, given the convenient neighborhood.

    This is a great budget hotel. The room where we stayed was recently renovated, with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in in any hotel anywhere. The bathroom was appointed with fittings by Restoration Hardware and was immaculate. Great staff, helpful and knowledgeable. We'll definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
