Holiday Inn Manhattan-Downtown/Soho

( 3 stars , New York , United States )

the rooms are incredibly small; mold around the tub; area is "scary" at night- up the block from a refuge mission; way overpriced.

Stayed at this hotel from June 15-17th, 2004. Good location for lower Manhattan. About 20 minute walk to WTC site, Wall Street, and Battery Park to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. This hotel is in Chinatown, really. And very close to Little Italy as well. Only problem we had was getting the car from the valet parking garage (located five blocks away) when we had an early check-out. We were left with no choice but to go get the car ourselves very early in the morning due to staff shortage. Other than that, no major issues. Would consider staying there again, but only if trip was to focus on activities in lower Manhattan. Otherwise, we suggest staying much closer to Times Square. About a 40 minute walk to Times Square from this Holiday Inn.

I stayed at this hotel for one night over new years. For starters the pictures shown on the site look nothing like the actual hotel. It was very hard to find because'the hotel exterior pictures look nothin like reality. Also, the rooms were very tiny with a not so flattering view of the city; and the beds were like sleeping on bricks. One good thing I can say about the hotel was the service, the people were kind, expecially the maids and they do a good job at cleaning the room. Over-all I would not go back to this hotel because I felt 'like I defanitly did not get my money worth for the night.

The room was clean, the mattress particularly comfortable, the bathroom was clean and easy to use and the room was QUIET. No street noise. The room was small but this is New York afterall. The location is a bit far from some of the major points of interest, but I think the price took the location reasonably into account. I think the room for the price represents an excellent value.

Nice people worked there - helpfulIt was not in the area I selected. It is in Chinatown, not Soho.“If you are looking to get a hotel in Soho/Downtown section - this is not it.”

Friendliness and helpfulness of the bellman far exceeded my expectations.Room was a little smaller than I would have liked but it was NYC.“Friendly, helpful bellman. Very clean rooms.”

Price.Hotel staff was rude.“I'm allergic to down pillows and it took two tries to get one hypo-allergenic pillow, during which the person was rude. The location is not in Soho, it's just outside in what is more likely Chinatown. The room was small,...

Great location, near transportation.Old carpet, dirty elevators.“Overall, the hotel was ok. I would stay again.”

Friendly, convenient, accomodating.Small rooms, but to be expected.“Nice hotel. Convenient. Right around the corner from Little Italy and China Town. They parked our car, gave us a number to call when we needed it back. Everything was accurate. They ...

Close to Subway station, and too little Italy. Can get to most places in the city within a half hour. Service at this hotel was extremely good.The area outside the hotel is a little rough being on the edge of china town.“For the most part I really...
