Recently got back from a 5 night stay at Red Roof Inn, Manhattan. The location of this hotel is brilliant, 10mins walk from Times Square & Broadway and good subway access.
Good sized room, plenty of space to move around even with the 2 massive suitcases. We booked 5 months in advance and requested a view of the Empire State Building, which we got.
My sister & her husband, who were travelling with us, booked 2 months ago and were not so lucky with their room. Upon arrival they were put in a Smoking room despite having booked non-smoking. They immediately went to request a room change and were told that their booking wasn't an actual booking, merely a request. Unwilling to accept this they insited that they get a non-smoking room and the girl on reception was very unhelpful until the manager eventually stepped in and sorted things out.
Breakfast was fine, good to fill up on before a day sight-seeing. The breakfast room is very small for the size of the hotel, but we only had to eat in our rooms on one day.
We would definitely reccommend this hotel, excellent price and location, probably one of the best value hotels in New York.
