Pros: Staff was friendly. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. The location is fantastic for exploring the city! Cons: zero amenities-no fridge/microwave/coffee maker/vending machines. Bathroom is terrible with only a small pedestal sink and an old tub and it’s very small. Toilet didn’t flush well at all. The TV is old and kept shutting off. Overall it suited the need and provided a comfortable bed after long days walking in the city. Despite the lack of amenities we would likely stay there again for the convenience of its location!

The staff is AMAZING and makes this hotel where we stay every trip to NYC. The breakfast is also a big selling point, along with easy location for shows. The rooms are terribly small, not in super fantastic condition; but we don’t spend much time in the room anyway.

The location is great if you're looking for something close to Penn Station. It's a benny to have breakfast included. The breakfast selection was adequate. One thing we didn't like in the room was the fact there is no top sheet on the bed, just a duvet. The duvet is most likely not cleaned between guest stays. There's a thermostat in the room and when I told the front desk it wasn't controlling the room temp I was told there was a central control for all the rooms. Why would you put a thermostat in a room that doesn't control anything? Bizarre. Easy access to the subway.

We really liked the Shangri-La. Loved the spacious lobby and the room. The view of the Marina and the water as well as the mountains was spectacular. It is very close to the reef excursion pier making it easy to get on your ferry to Green Island or the Outer Reef. The Staff, especially Nao knocked ...
