Room size was adequate,and always kept clean. Hotel lobby is small, but clean.Reception staff were helpful, although they came across as unwelcoming and not very friendly. Just returned from a 4 night stay over the New year at the Red Roof Inn Manhattan with my wife.Hotel is situated in " Korea street " with many Korean shops and restaraunts.The street is grubby with piles of rubbish bags outside each restaraunt. But that being said, I would still stay at this surprisingly nice Red Roof Inn again I had to get up several times each night to either turn the heater on or off. For great location, super clean facilities, friendly service this hotel could have have gotten 5 stars from me, it lost one star for the poor heating control that either when on cooked you, or when turned off became freezing. I asked the front desk for a discount for the night and they graciously gave me one. Due to a snow storm over Sat night, we thought it might be prudent to extend our stay until Monday. We're talking Barney Greengrass (see my review) and NY diners for the epitome of NYC breakfasts.

There are too many eating opportunities and not enough time to waste on a skimpy free hotel continental-style breakfast. There is a free complementary breakfast, but during the weekend it is mobbed and we chose to eat outside the hotel. The bed was comfortable and the simple bathroom was in good condition and spotlessly clean. Our view included the Empire State Bldg which was lit up in Blue and White lights, for Chanukkah, I guess. Our room was small, as is standard in most NYC hotels, but not even close to feeling claustrophobic, just, well. We ate at one of the restaurants and enjoyed the Korean BBQ a lot. The constant foot traffic gives this block a very safe feeling. The hotel's location on 33rd Street is on a block known as Little Korea, for the multitude of big, small and medium sized Korean restaurants, many open 24 hours. The subway station at Herald Square is a big one with many lines. On 33rd Street and 5th Ave, it is literally one block from the Empire State building and a longer block away from Herald Square and Macey's. The location of the hotel was superb for us. The coupon made the average night's cost for my two night's stay a mere $125/ night. I had a certificate for a free night at a Red Roof, so I decided to give this one a try. You know that New York hotels the weekend before Christmas are going to be expensive, but it was our anniversary and I wanted to spend it in NYC.
