Hotel 309 309 West 14th Street, Manhattan, New York 10014

"The location is convenient but the room needs a new upgrade. The bed is a spring bed. It squeaks every time I move. The shared bathroom is not hygienic. Although there is a towel, there are no shampoo/soaps. There are no elevators so you would need to climb up all the floors to your room."

"Update: this place sucks. Bed is super lumpy and you have to open the window so it's not so hot but then you also have to open the window shades to let in the cold and that means a ton of light comes in at night. Internet is slow and no desk in my room. So don't expect to get any work done here. Also the prints on the wall are lame and it seems sort of run down and not aesthetically great. It's fine if you don't mind all that, though, which I don't for this trip."

"We would return. A great location for us… walking distance to the Whitney, Little Island, High Line and in the other direction, we walked to Bleecker Street and Comedy Cellar. Plenty of cafes and shops around. A quick taxi ride up to Times Square. The room was clean — except for the small trashcan under the sink that was still full of trash from the previous people — the reason I’m giving it 4 stars. It was an odd arrangement of 2 futons and bed, with a tiny table and tiny bathroom with sink and shower. Our room had a private and clean bathroom. No one tended to the room while we were out and I actually prefer that. We literally only slept and showered there. It felt safe and the staff was friendly. And it was a decent price!"

"best feature: the security, the hotel runs a tight ship with a locked front door with a buzzer, verifying all information before letting you in. this was my first time in NYC and i have chronic anxiety so this was appreciated. worst feature: the room quality. the walls and floors were super scuffed and i saw 10 bugs over the course of 2 nights. my room had private bath, i can only imagine the state of the shared bath. i bought the reservation last minute and on a budget, so it is what it is, but at $250 per night BEFORE sales tax the experience stings a bit."

"The place is worth every penny. The accommodations are well fitted for a family or individuals with a budget in very busy and entertaining district. Many things to do a walk away from the hotel."
