Location Location Location (but that's about it)

The Hotel Pennsylvania is close to everything. But that’s about all. I have only stayed there once, and once was more than enough. Even though the price of a room is just about the same as most of the other basic hotels in midtown Manhattan, but it’s not worth it. My supposed two-person room barely had room to fit the bed inside, the plaster on the walls was cracking, and the poor lighting made everything look dingy. The bathroom was rusty, and I didn’t even feel comfortable taking a shower in it. In short: it’s good if you’re in the area and desperately need a place to crash – but you’d be better off walking up to 46th Street and staying at the Edison.
