    There was no continental breakfast. There is only 1 elevator. When towels were brought some had dingy stains or make up like stains on them. Some of the linen had stains on them as well. Housekeeping got rude because I put my dirty towels and linen in her dirty bin.

    The property was nice. It has a lounge area if you need to sit and wait for check in or a uber ride etc. Most of the staff were great. Whatever you ask, they were able to do.

    A/C worked well, but very noisy. There is almost no equipment in the kitchen. The view from the room and balcony was zero - directly to the wall of next house.

    Big and moreorless clean room with very basic kitchen and fridge and coffee maker, lot of storage space. Good and relatively quiet and safe location. Daily cleaning and towels change. I would choose the same hotel next time, it was very ok.

    They are feeling some "changing pains" since the recent management change and all new staff at this location. The electronic keys are supposedly VERY sensitive to touching a cell phone or Apple watch, so it was common to see people struggling to get in their rooms. They seemed a little tired of dealing with key issues at the front desk. They ended up giving me a physical key and that never worked! Finally got the keycard to work and kept it working. A guy came to fix the phone in everyone's rooms and knocked even though I had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and then came in only to find there was no phone in my room anyway. My room wasn't ready for check-in at 3:00 and it seemed a little disorganized at the desk figuring out when one might be ready. My son arrived the day before and was told he had to pay $100 in cash only to check in early for his room, but a room was ready immediately. He only had $75, which they hesitantly accepted instead of $100 and it seemed like a scam to pocket the money. He was so tired he went ahead and did it. Never did get the wifi to even show up on my phone. One woman who works during the day is not as friendly or helpful. Other woman is nice but gets annoyed with the key situation.

    Easy and safe walk (at least in the daytime) from and to the subway. Easy walk to places for brunch and dinner. Not a clean area of the city, but it always felt safe even when coming back late at night. Room was a very good size for the city and clean. Good AC. Guy who works the late shift is super nice and helpful. Nice to have a 24-hour reception desk when returning late.

    No utensils, plates or cups. If you enjoy a morning cup or preparing snacks, suggest bring with you #2 coffee filters, ziplock of your favorite drip brew coffee or tea, a pair of cups, plates and utensils. No food stores nearby until you get to Myrtle Ave a few blocks away. Also bring a bar of soap, shampoo and conditioner as their samples are micro. Minimal on-site facilities (small lounge with out-of-order snack machines, water dispenser and a couch) and rooms have views of…not much.

    Attentive and courteous staff. Dated room. Clean bed and bathroom, comfortable bed. Located in quiet neighborhood, but need to go a short walk to get to food, locations and stores. Complete kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, sink, and small 2 cup coffee maker.

    The facility had some tech/equipment issues throughout the weekend, but it was clear they were trying to resolve them quickly. The bed squeaks a bit, so if you toss and turn be prepared for that. For the price point, I have no real complaints about the room itself.

    The lobby is very welcoming (and calming after being out in the city), and there's a lounge and garden area for seating on the first floor. The room had everything we needed and it was nice having a kitchenette. The staff was responsive when we had some issues with the room key and elevator. The location was fine in terms of getting to everything we wanted to see, using a mix of walking, rideshare, and public transportation. (Be prepared to walk a few extra blocks for breakfast on Saturday morning since several of the places closest to the hotel are closed for the Sabbath.) Nice pillows, plenty of outlets including USB charging ports.

    I stayed on the ground floor. An alarm went on and off for about during the hours of 1am -3am, it just kept going for a while, no one knew what to do.

    It was fine for a cozy place to stay in the city for a night, staff was super friendly and helpful.

    The rooms are not very well isolated and I could hear my neighbours having "a really good time" in their room for quite some time. The area doesn't offer a lot of variety in night life, or breakfast places.

    The Condor Hotel offers you an adequate and comfortable stay. The beds were excellent, and so was the shower, with good water pressure. The staff at both check-in and check-out were very friendly. The nearest subway station is close by enough to get there on foot. I'd definitely consider this hotel again if I have to stay in New York for business of pleasure.

    The shower could have had more pressure and heat. The shower curtain is very thin. It would have been nice to have more washcloths provided from the start.

    The service was fantastic! It met all of our needs. The cleaners did a great job tidying up the room and making the beds while we were gone for the day, and the staff were able to offer us plates when we asked for them.
