The Comfort Inn Manhattan is in the heart of New York city. Perfect location if you want to walk to the main attractions of the city. Within walking distance is the Empire State Building and Macy's department store. A little bit further is Times square, NY public library,... more

Comfortable flight with Virgin even though we were in Economy, with good choice of food and a useful amenity pack. Swift transfer was included in the price. Hotel is in an older building on what looks quite a shabby street in a commercial area, but the location is very... more

Great Hotel, complimentary breakfast was excellent a great selection. Rooms are a little dated but if you want modern this isn’t for you, the place is spot less, staff friendly, comp. tea and coffee in reception and attached bar Brendans serves great food for dinner.... more

This is not my first choice of hotel in Manhattan but was a place to crash for the night. It is very popular with Virgin Holidays and the British. The public areas of the hotel are nice and the restaurant is very good. The lifts. Staircases and landings are quite... more

Great Hotel
Great hotel, staff was excellent. They held our luggage for us all day and gave us excellent directions on how to use the subway and how to get to museums, etc. Location was a little shady, but seemed safe enough. The room was small, but the beds were comfortable and large. Juice and coffee was available all day and complimentary breakfast was nice. Internet computer downstairs with wireless access if you have wireless laptop. Very clean. For a mid-priced hotel, it was very nice.
loved it loved it
I stayed at the Comfort Inn Manhatton between the 30 th June and the 5th July and totally loved it. The Staff were all friendly and welcoming especially Alex and Tony. The rooms were clean and spacious we stayed on the 12th Floor and had a fantastic view of Empire state building, After reading alot of bad reviews on here i thought i was going to dread it and was expecting the worse but it was totally wonderful. It was also very close to all attractions with Empire State building being about a 5 min walk and Times Square at about 15mins. I will deffinately be going again.......
Ok for a budget hotel
Stayed at the CI Manhattan July 5-9. Arrived late and received a smoking room w/slightly different room "type" -- both of which we had specifically requested otherwise in our original reservation~ The Front Desk was able to move us to non-smoking the next day but watch for this when you check in if it matters to you! Rooms are dark and small (they are converted from apartments I understand) and are split into 4 "rooms", on either side of the elevator. Floors were quiet during our stay, the elevators are small but not too unbearably slow, and the breakfast is just ok but better than nothing! Location is great - very walkable to many attractions as others have said. All in all, I would probably return -- you aren't in your room much anyway!
Will be coming back
Whenever you travel you are always worried about the hotel. Let me tell you don't worry about the Comfort Inn Manhattan. It Is situated around the corner from the Empire State Building and you are only a 10 - 20 minutes walk (depends on traffic lights) away from Times Square well worth a visit during the day and night. The room was cleaned everyday and all staff were friendly, we had 2 reason to call the front desk with minor problems the first was dealt with within 10 minutes and the second was sorted while we went out. It is a great idea to have cold drink machines on every other floor. The breakfast was good and the bar & restaurant attached to the hotel was very handy, had 2 meals in there (good quality), tip is added onto the bill so you don't have to do the maths. Can't wait to go back to the Comfort Inn Manhattan
Below Expectations, Yet Bearable
Overall, this hotel was not great, yet not terrible. There were definite positive and negative aspects: Positive: convenient location to anything you'd ever need/attractions, reasonable rates, free breakfast and coffee, fairly clean. Negative: very small bathroom, water temperature constantly changes in the shower, very slow and/or busy and crowded elevators, managers and staff with bad attitudes. We stayed in room 904 for 4 nights and the end of June 2004. Would we stay here again? NO. There are many hotels in the same price range that provide a much better overall experience.
I don't understand why this Comfort Inn is rated so low...
I don't understand why the Comfort Inn Manhattan is rated so far below Comfort Inn Midtown. I actually stayed at both hotels in April '04, and while the Comfort Inn Midtown is superficially nicer to the Comfort Inn Manhattan, I would without hesitation choose Comfort Inn Manhattan over Midtown on my next trip to NYC. Not only was the service far superior, but I found the hotel itself more cozy and the location much better. Trust me, being right off of Times Square seems great when you are booking your trip, but actually having to deal with throngs of people ever time you step out of your hotel is a royal pain. I prefered the Comfort Inn Manhattan. Being so close to Macy's and the Empire State building, and so centrally located in NYC was wonderful. (Subway stops right on the corner!!) Also, the staff at the Manhattan is terrific. They really seem to care that you have a good time in NYC and willingly help their guests with whatever they need in a friendly and speedy manner. The staff at the Midtown, on the other hand, seemed busy and overworked, (if they were at the front desk at all or ever answered their phone) making one resistant to ask for help. Also, the free breakfast in the historic restaurant attached to the Manhattan is FAR superior to the crowded, plain little room at the Midtown. So, if you are trying to decide between staying at the Comfort Inn Midtown or Manhattan and don't care about superficial decor, but like a clean and safe place in a better location with good service for a discount price, I highly recommend you stay in the Comfort Inn Manhattan.
Had a great time staff was wonderful
We spent 4 nights at the INN, It was a great hotel, very clean, rooms were small but I didn't expect much more of a room for the price, I would definitely stay there again. It was worth the price and close to everything.
Great inexpensive hotel in Manhattan
The Comfort Inn Manhattan is a very nice hotel given its location and price. Rooms were decent sized for a downtown location, and it's convenient to most attractions (but if you want lots of street activity outside your door at all hours, stay a little closer to Times Square). The hotel offers a free continental breakfast, which, despite some complaints I've heard, is quite nice. The windows didn't open in the room though, which I was not too happy about (it did have an air conditioner though). But the staff is very friendy, and overall I enjoyed my stay there.
Good Value
$108 per night for a Queen size room, last week in May '04 what a bargain ? We found the Hotel to be clean and the staff very helpful. Our room had views over Empire State. The breakfast, also included for the price, made for a good start to the day. Tea, Coffee, Fruit Juices, Cereals, Fruit, Toast and a big, sticky cream filled buns. Overall - great price, great location and excellent value
Cheap, convenient and clean
We wanted a basic hotel which was nice, clean, reasonably priced and with a good location and got what we bargained for - nothing more, nothing less. The location is great, especially if you want to explore NY as a tourist. Fifth Ave and Macy's are just around the corner. So is 34th St. station which has great connections. Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, Village and a bunch of other locations are all within walking distance. The staff is nice and polite. We had a few problems with the plumbing, but they sent someone to fix it right away. All in all great value for money.
