Howard Johnson Manhattan Soho

I strongly recommend Howard Johnson and plan to use them as much as I can.

This new, boutique hotel was absolutely immaculate, modern, and well designed. The buffet breakfast was well stocked and abundant with bagels, muffins, fruit, eggs, cereal, yogurt, milk, coffee, and tea. There were two taxi services available through the hotel, cash OR credit, and the staff arranged the calls, pick-up's and even returns back from the theatre. Although set in Chinatown, you could certainly walk to SoHo, Greenwich Village, Little Italy and NYU in nicer weather. You definitely need to take a cab to the theatre district.Again, it was the helpful, kind, caring professional staff who ensured our every need was met. They were also quite knowledgeable when we had any questions about NYC and never hesitated to use their many resources to meet our needs. There's also a computer/printer in the lobby and many restaurants in the area. Although I always have some concerns travelling alone with a child, all of my trepidations dissipated once Teddy or Anthony helped us through any matters requiring such calm, knowledgeable, caring professionals! ...read more

5 or 10 mins from subway. Area seemed safe. Room we had (1 king) was perfect for 1 or 2 people, for a family it might be too small. Nothing like the typical Howard Johnson, rooms were similar to higher end hotel

We were on a whirlwind less-than-24-hours "can't use these Broadway tickets, can you?" visit. We live just far enough from NYC that we needed to stay over but weren't going to luxuriate. This place was perfect, clean, cute, less expensive because it's off the beaten track. Taxi in, enjoy a good night's sleep, shower in a clean bathroom, taxi back to Penn Station. I'd do it again! ...read more

It was a decent price for the Saturday before Christmas. The staff was very friendly and gave us a bottle of wine our anniversary. The location seemed a little sketchy but we didn't encounter any problems. Hotel was located about 4-5 blocks from the subway station that goes Uptown.
