Ink 48 Hotel 653 11th Avenue, Manhattan, New York,

"Excellent weekend rates. Not quite midtown (Hells Kitchen), but close enough to easily get around. Great rooms. Has become our "go-to" for weekends in NYC."

"This hotel is ideal for anyone looking for a place to stay before your cruise. It is only a 2 minute walk to Pier 88. When we arrived at the hotel, the woman at the front desk was polite and professional. She had a very sweet demeanor and was very helpful. There was also a gentleman working who told us about the attached restaurant and their hours. He suggested a small Bodega down the street for snacks and such. They had the best prepared food there. My husband went back for breakfast the next morning. The room looked very nice and mostly clean. The couch was stained, but comfortable. Do not use any one the items at the bar. They are very expensive."

"This is a decent place if you find a good deal but they fall short on the expectation of a 4* hotel. Their room is adequately spacious and clean with basic amenities. But there is a huge room for improvement. The biggest problem is that our bathtub drain slowly clogs while showering. They don't have a smart tv nor provide free water bottles every day. We couldn't try their rooftop lounge because it was unexpectedly closed for 2 days during our stay. The location isn't prime but workable. Overall, it's fine if you are outside most of the day and don't expect outstanding service. Their staff is efficient and helpful enough but not very attentive. I'm going to give them an extra * (3/5 to be fair) for the fact that they're accommodating my early check-in request."

"I would’ve liked to rate higher but a number of factors prevented me from doing so: 1.) The price transparency needs to be better. What I thought was going to be a $400 two night stay ended up being closer to $600 after every tax and fee imaginable was added and I had called in a was told the price I was paying includes such fees and taxes (occupancy fee, amenity fee, state tax, local taxes, tourism assessment fee, etc.) After looking at my bill I in fact noticed I was charged these fees twice (payed double) what I should have. I called to get it fixed and was told there was nothing that could be done as I was obligated to pay those fees. I wasn’t disputing the fees, just the fact I had paid some of them twice. If I wanted to pay $600, I could’ve had a nicer location downtown, closer to transportation, and on a higher floor. 2.) The location isn’t all that great. It’s out of the way and far from the nearest subway stop which is on me for not checking before booking. But thought I’d share any way. 3.) The staff was friendly and the room was clean but I don’t think I’ll be booking again in the future."

"We stayed in the premier studio with my fiancee. the bathtub bed shower and the view was very nice. The view of the 9th floor was really great. but besides these, some negative things happened. The gel put by the hotel for the bathtub had been used before. We called the reception and they told us this situation and they sent us a lot of gel shampoo. There was a pet bottle that was opened and drunk in advance. There was enough towels in the room, it was very good. But there was no room slippers. When we asked the attendant, he said that the slippers were over in the hotel. When we checked in to the hotel, we paid the hotel fee and a deposit of 100 dollars. They told us that the $100 would be deposited to the bank in 2 working days, but even though 1 week had passed, the money was still very nice in our account. The room was very nice in terms of location and interior design. calm and times It was close to its square."
