"I cannot stress enough how great the location of this hotel is. If you are looking to be near loads of iconic New York spots, this is the place to stay.
My son and I were on the 21st floor and the view was amazing! Other than the typical sirens, the room was quiet. The hotel elevator requires a room key to get to any floor, which made us feel even safer. We had a queen room and yes, it was small, but it had everything we needed.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and the bar (& restaurant) were chill & upscale. A larger beer selection would be nice, but the atmosphere was worth drinking a beer I didn't love. I will def recommend the Motto to friends and family."
"Th staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, the room was nice and clean, the location was great, and the price was reasonable. The elevators were a bit slow and the building is older but we would absolutely stay here again."
"My, this place is tops!!!
Outstanding check-in assistance, clean room, comfortable bed...
The restaurant is Fantastic!! Again, service is impeccable ~
The rooftop bar has an Amazing view + once again, fantastic service ~
Easy 5-10 minute walk to Madison Square Garden or 42nd Street, whichever your preference...
Great, Great Stay!!! Thank You"
"Great location — very convenient, close to everything, and walkable. However, the hotel itself was disappointing. The elevators had long wait times and were often inaccurate. The service, especially at the gift shop, was a terrible experience. The only exception was the gentleman at Starbucks, who was genuinely kind and attentive.
Cleanliness was also below expectations, dust was visible throughout the room. For the price and reputation, I would think twice before booking again."
