Crescent Hotel

This hotel will not dazzle you, but it’s clean and economical and conveniently located for a visit to New York City. It’s close to subway stops, and you’re only two or three stops to Midtown Manhattan or Central Park. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Only problem we had was that our first room was right across the hall from a very noisy ice making machine. We asked at the front desk to have our room changed, and they did so without hesitation. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a visit to New York City.

This hotel is very conveniently located to Queensboro Plaza, where there is access to several subway lines and make it very easy to get into Manhattan, other areas in Queens, or Brooklyn. Not so good if you do not want to ride the subway. Cabs hard to get, Ubers have long wait and private cars (called by hotel) are very expensive. Room was basic but clean. Quiet for NYC. Amenities initially lacking but provided after prompting. They never made up the room, even after we asked them to. Towels like tissue paper. Although the room itself was clean, the building is old and tired, with some peeling wallpaper in the hallways. At $250 per night, it seems like we could have done better.

It seemed to be used a shelter of some sort. I only stayed there because of the price, which was still way too expensive. This is more of a Motel than a Hotel. To make things even worse the coffee in the lobby is always cold.

I have been staying at this hotel many times. The location is excellent as it is very close to the train stations, and there are many places for eating. And it is also clean and comfortable.

No large towels only small ones provided. The rooms need repair.

Working people no good

Not sure why I can’t get a real towel in a hotel that provides a jacuzzi, it’s like you HAVE to bring your own towel or your screwed, and they say they are trying to save the earth, stop it, your are penny pinching in the wrong area. It’s bad enough you have the ancient rooms, outdated tv and the cable of course was being upgraded the day I check out. The only thing good was the front desk staff, very nice and non robotic as most hotel staff have become over the years, I know. I work for a couple.

convenient for transportation

good: -close to train station and walkable to several restaurants and shops -thermostat/heater worked well -clean bed -good shower pressure bad: -can hear noise from outside due to cheap windows -strong stench of chlorine when walking in -no breakfast, all you get is lukewarm coffee -no fridge in room

Sally @ the front desk is very nice & was quite helpful to me since chking in on 11/08/23. The staff is friendly. The bathroom is beautiful & I love the bathtub! The bed is quite comfortable and the sheets & pillows are pristine clean. Unfortunately the tv has not worked for 75% of my stay and I am a big tv person. The staff has tried though to address this issue, stating they are working on it. I would recommend your hotel to others. Beautiful area!
