El mantenimiento del hotel en general y la comodidad de las habitaciones no son buenos. Hay un olor un tanto particular en los pasillos. La ubicación es excelente.

Except for the receptionist who said I didn't have any reservation, when in fact she mixed-up my first and last names, and when I showed her my printout and receipt, she was visibly irritated. And she didn't even apologize, talking in Spanish in front of me. Not a really good first impression from her I would say, though the other staff were really  nice.

Hotel antiguo, al principio no me gusto despues me acostumbre, limpio, solo para dormir, no hay desayuno, ni siquiera un bar para pedir agua, hotel poco personalizado. El personal amable en general sobre todo la gente de limpieza, excepción la recepcionista que nos atendió el primer dia (una mujer embarazada poco amable)

I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the bathrooms. It suited my needs for my three night stay and was very close to important locations, including two subway stations. The night staff were not very nice at the front desk, but after speaking with the manager, he more than made up for it. During the day, what this functional hotel lacks  in luxor, it makes up with friendly staff and a convenient location.

We read all the comments so we knew what we were getting into. Room was immaculate and had a microwave, refrig, small tv and table and 2 chairs. We got a room with a bath. But no air conditioning unit so I imagine it would be very uncomfortable in the summer. No headboard, drapes, or wall hangings; linoleum floor. Room was tiny but we didn't need much  space for the one night we were staying. Old fashioned claw bathtub with plumbing modified to include a shower. This hotel is very bare bones! But for someone looking for a clean, convenient, relatively inexpensive place to lay your head, this works.

Bon prix, pas chers pour Manhattan, les chambres sont vieilles mais le prix est vraiment intéressant pour passer un weekend a NYC, proche de lieux touristiques.

Great location and the cheapest hotel we could find. We selected a double room online but were given a twin (one of which was a camp bed) Warm water most of the time. Undeniably excellent location for sightseeing.

Ok so I booked the Latham Hotel because of its price and I read all of the reviews and still booked this hotel. As I entered the hotel 5 hours before check in, I was greeted by a friendly clerk and she let us check in before 3 p.m. Because we has arrived so early to the city. We politely asked If we could upgrade to a private bathroom and she happily  agreed. I think a shared bathroom would be difficult and very inconvenient. So pay the extra cash and go for private bathroom! The elevator was working perfectly and we were on our way to the 6th floor. Our room was clean and there wasn't any of the bed bugs people had previously wrote on their reviews. Everything was clean and room service came by everyday to tidy the room u. The bathroom was clean as well! There was a flat screen t.v., a fridge and a microwave too! The location is the best part of this hotel. It's right on the middle of it alll!! I loved NYC!!! And this place was comfortable and not too bad on the price! I'd go back :)

This place location is unbelievable, I went with my family, its not a five star place, but for the price is a excelent deal. You hear at night garbage trucks and people working, I wouldn'nt suggest to stay more than 2-3 days specially with kids. Great value for the money. Staff is OK, Beds are OK, Pillows not good, so, bring your own, parking coupons  work fine and is not a fuzzy deal.I definitely stay again.

This was my first time in NYC, and my first time going on a trip by myself. Being a college student, money was tight. The Latham was just what I needed - and if you are considering this hotel it is all a matter of perspective. The staff which has been described as 'rude' and 'unhelpful' I would describe as just chill and laid back. They aren't going  to give you that phony shiny smile you get at the radisson, but they help when you ask for it, and they do their jobs well. The room was small but had everything that I needed. I did a shared bathroom, and occasionally I had to wait for someone else to get done, but if you get upset about things like that you really just need to not take life to seriously. The bathroom was clean and well designed, and right across the hall from my room. I did occasionally have noise issues, there was one time I could hear people yelling at each other for about 10 minutes, and another when I heard people talking, but not at unreasonable hours. I think my only real issue is that they should invest in better pillows. The pillows are super flat and stiff, and just having a good pillow would have increased the comfort dramatically. I can't speak to the bedding because I brought my own, which I safely contained and washed immediately upon returning home just in case ( I didn't see any signs of bedbugs, but gotta stay careful.) So besides that, this hotel was awesome for the price. Very laid back, I was able to relax, and it was a great central hub for exploring the city. If you want a private room right in midtown and can't afford a bunch of money, and don't mind sharing a bathroom with others, this is definitely the route to go. As long as you can handle issues like a mature adult and don't let small inconveniences ruin a trip you'll enjoy your stay without a doubt. I would definitely stay there again.
