This is a convention-style hotel built earlier in the Twentieth Century. I have stayed here a number of times and always look forward to staying another time. There's a lot of activity with guests arriving and leaving through the lobby all the time. You won't be alone here. I checked in on a Tuesday around 4:00 p. m. I waited... More

Just back from 5 nights at the Pennsylvania, I went expecting it to be horrific but it wasn't bad at all. The first room they gave us was horrendous, damp, smelly and a bathroom that was unfit for human habitation. We had no problem moving to another room which was fine. It was a huge room which was clean and... More

I just went to NYC for the first time and we stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania. What an elegant and regal place. As I walked in, I felt like Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Lana Tuner, and all those starts would be walking by at any minute. Check-in staff was very helpful. The marble lobby was amazing. The doors to the... More

We have stayed at Hotel Pennsylvania several times over the past 3 years, and each time was for one night only, bfeore boarding a cruise or after taking one. Having to catch a train home early in the morning was the prime reason for staying here. It is close to everthing: Macy's, Madison Square Gardens, Empre State Building, and Penn... More

You'd think that a hotel that has had the same telephone number since the 1930s would bother to answer the telephone! Ringing, ringing, ringing to make a reservation, speak to an... More

Wish there was a lower score. Terrible does not start to describe this hotel and service. It is a very old hotel and very bad facilities. Like the manager describes the building as "barely standing". Front desk manager nice. Natasha, on the other hand, the ruddest vulgar person I have ever come accross in this industry, and yes, she is... More

We had to book a hotel for a family medical emergency, and the Hotel Pennsylvania was the only one with rooms available for 9 nights. The staff are all friendly and helpful, but I would not stay here again. The room was big enough, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were clean. The room and bathroom were, however, just... More
