Vacations Close To Empire State Building

Friendly staff, helpful room service and great location

The staff are wonderful, helpful, and so kind!

Loved it will go back

The Ink48 now for several years is one of my/our go to places in NYC; the rooms are still attractively shaped, the renovated breakfast restaurant is stylish and the food from the menu tasty and reasonably priced with the evening roof top place still hip and menu interesting (the view in all directions is still beautiful). However the front desk has lost some of its a-tentativeness, we now have a routine to immediately ask for extra towels and washcloths at time of check-in. While the room bar is stacked, the selection of amnemities is poor (can’t get a hot cup of water for bedtime tea, no coffee machine, q-tips, extra toothbrush?). A real bummer this time was the waiting time to receive the car back from valet, 1h20 minutes… and we were not alone. A couple needed to return their rental to catch an EWR flight; hope they made it! We were to pickup someone arriving by train and arrived severely delayed! The present INK48 valet arrangement is not acceptable; be forewarned!

Actually quite a small (footprint) hotel, though tall. Rooms very small and, for us, quite a lot of noise from the outside works (shame there was no soundproofing). Breakfast quite a busy affair, first day was good, as we were early, so had full choice, second day ran out of bacon and cranberry juice (the later was refilled). Reception staff were excellent, polite and helpful.

Did exactly as expected. This is not a luxury hotel but is clean, safe and a perfect location for the lower east and west sides of Manhattan
