Cheap hotel, small rooms, excellent location
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Hotel Pennsylvania is located right above Penn Station in New York City and across the street from Madison Square Garden. The location can't be beat; if you're in town for a Knicks game or a concert, or just staying the night before you hop on a train for Boston at Penn Station, then the Hotel Pennsylvania is not a bad place to stay.
That said, it's kind of a budget hotel. The rooms are super-tiny, not terribly clean, and the windows don't shut all the way. (This is really bad if you're staying here during the winter; it is REALLY cold and freezing then so you'd better bring a comforter)
That said, you get what you pay for. A standard room is about $140 per night, which, for New York City standards, is super-cheap and inexpensive.
