We stayed in Hotel Pennsylvania for 7 nights in the beginning of October 2007. Having read the dreadful reviews on this site I was a bit worried about this hotel… But it was just fine!
The check-in took about 15 minutes (we arrived on a Monday at about 4 pm). The hotel corridors are a bit simple (I guess this means no paintings on the walls) but who cares? They’re just for transportation. The hotel room was big and clean. No problems there. (A bit cold during the nights, but no biggie.)
Hotel Pennsylvania is an older hotel, yes, so if you’re in New York for a luxurious hotel stay you probably shouldn’t book this one. You probably should book Four Seasons or something similar.
But if you’re happy with a simple (but OK hotel) this is just fine. The location is great and all the yellow cabs know exactly where it is. Just say “Hotel Pennsylvania” and they take you there.
This is a fine hotel with normal standards. We had areally good stay and would book it again.
