Low budget hotel, decent location.

Hotel currently under renovations, very basic rooms that could be cleaner. The only breakfast offered is toast. Single elevator is very slow. Decent location to midtown and Hudson yards but would not stay again.

The hotel was pretty much disgusting. The elevator smelled like straight up weed and then it stopped working, so we had to walk down 11 floors of stairs with a messed up knee

Great location and very accommodating staff. There was someone banging on the walls our last night (no fault to the staff) that caused us some issues sleeping. Otherwise, it was great!

I booked a stay at Hudson River Hotel through Expedia for the night of 3/29–3/30/25, and the experience was awful from the moment we arrived. The hotel looked nothing like the pictures online. It was filthy, under construction, and felt completely unsafe. We left within minutes and had to urgently find another hotel that night. What made things worse was the complete lack of accountability from both Expedia and the hotel. Despite reaching out multiple times and even purchasing Expedia’s Hotel Booking Protection, I was denied a refund. Expedia claimed they were waiting on the hotel’s response—but the hotel never answered my emails. When I finally reached someone at the front desk by phone, they were disrespectful, kept cutting me off, and offered no help. I was told I wouldn’t get a refund because “you only paid $128” and “it was just a one-night stay.” That is completely false—I have a receipt showing I paid $199.19, including taxes and protection. When I asked to speak with or get the contact information for someone in charge of issuing refunds, they refused to provide it. This experience was completely unacceptable. The hotel was unsafe and misrepresented, and the customer service from both the hotel and Expedia was dismissive and unhelpful. Avoid this hotel, and think twice before trusting Expedia with your travel plans.

Had a good stay at the Hudson River Hotel. The manager and staff was nice, the rooms pretty clean and proper (except for one towel where I found a hair that was definitely NOT mine). Overall worth the money and a good location just a few minutes from Time Square.

Its NYC so not much has changed. The staff who checked us in was nice and the room room was extra clean. There was plenty to eat nearby and an easy walk back to Penn Station. Will stay again when we get more sbow tickets.

Horrible hotel. Hotel is under construction and it’s not livable what so ever. They are under full construction. It was very unsafe, unhealthy and dangerous. Dust, paint, construction hazards are everywhere. This hotel needs to be shot down till they finish the construction. Pain, construction material smell everywhere and unhealthy smell everywhere to sleep in. All our clothes were dusty, our eyes red every day our throats were dry, sore from the construction smell. Towels were dirty with construction glue, cement on it. Unlivable hotel. I don’t think this is legal for them to operate under this condition. Across the street there was a major construction as well and the noise was unbearable. The construction noise in hotel it self was unbearable as well. I am definitely going to report this and ask for my money back. We hung a privacy sign for them not to enter our room but they disregarded it and entered the room anyways. Apparently they tried to clean it but instead they ruined my shoes socking wet by flipping the iron on top of it and the water inside the iron got all over my used shoes and it was trashed.

Was in town for a birthday party and didn't want to drive back so late. So I booked the place on third party site which was great the price was incredible! I wasn't expecting a lot because of the entrance and how you have to go down steps. The room is super small it had two twin beds. No thrills type of place but I can see what type of activity happens if you know what I mean. It wasn't dirty however, the sheets did not look crisp/clean. There was no remote we got one from the front desk and it still didn't work. So to put it frankly it was close to the tunnel,It was cheap, it served its purpose.

Good, basic room at an affordable price

Great location. Comfortable, clean room. No frills, just a good, basic room at an affordable price. My only suggestion would be to add a bedside lamp. The only light near the bed is the main room light and the switch is by the door.

Yikes

My room sure didn't look like the photos, nor did the lobby which made me think I was in the wrong place. Are they under construction? I hope they are because; yikes. There wasn't a single lamp in my room, not a bedside light or desk lamp or even wall sconces. Just full blast overhead halogens with that harsh white/blue light. I get it; it's a budget hotel, but I needed to spend some time working and it was very uncomfortable. It felt like a bad dorm before your mom goes to Target. I could go on but, again, budget hotel so you get what you pay for, but I'll include one photo, which is the desk chair that looks like it was pulled from the alley.
