My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering modern amenities like free Wi-Fi, an iPod dock, and a flat-screen TV. However, they were a bit small, typical for NYC, making it a bit challenging to store large suitcases. The service was exceptional, with friendly and polite staff always available to assist, including printing maps. The location was convenient, close to Chinatown, Little Italy, and the waterfront, with easy access to the subway and taxi services. The dining experience was basic but sufficient to start the day, with self-service options and additional items like fried eggs and sausage. The facilities were adequate for my needs, though nothing extraordinary.

My stay at Howard Johnson was pleasant overall. The rooms, although small, fulfilled our basic needs and were lovely, clean, and very modern, which was a plus. The service provided by the amazing staff, especially Teddy, was absolutely brilliant, making our experience very pleasant. The location, while a bit of a pain due to its distance from the nearest subway station, was close to some lovely eateries and offered good value for money. The dining experience, with its basic self-service options, was what we expected, with some additional touches like fried eggs and sausage. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in New York.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and moderately spacious, perfect for couples or singles exploring downtown Manhattan, being located on the Allen Street side meant a nice view of the Manhattan Bridge but a bit of a walk to the subway station. The service was top-notch, with polite and gracious staff, especially Teddy the main manager. The location, on the edge of the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy, was convenient but a little further from some attractions than expected. The dining area, while providing a decent breakfast with a variety of options, felt a bit cramped at times. The facilities were adequate for my needs.
