Marcel Hotel hotel description>>

Solid Value Hotel
Reviewer: New York visitor, Washington, DC

I was a little nervous after reading the reviews here, but I am happy to report that the Marcel was a solid value for the money. Indeed, the rooms are small, but this is NY. The decor was nice, with a very comfortable kind bed, plenty of mirrors and great water pressure. The lighting was a bit dim and the bathroon was "one at a time," the rooms facing the street are noisy. All in all the Marcel offered a comfortable bed, in a great location, at a low cost.

A great find
Reviewer: New York visitor, Los Angeles, California

I read some good and some bad reviews here before leaving, so I'm happy to be able to report that my experience was great! True, the elevator was broken when we arrived, but an employee helped us carry our bags up the stairs (one flight) and it was repaired by the evening. New York hotels are sooo expensive so I loved the price (we used hotels and beat every other advertised price I found). Of course, corners have to be cut to make the price that good - pencils instead of pens on the desk, 15-inch instead of 20-inch TV, etc. I didn't feel at all disappointed by those things - I was glad they chose to offer an economical hotel for people like us!The room was clean and the air conditioning worked. The bathroom was fully stocked with mini soaps and shampoos - they were some brand called "east" a cool variation on the usual hotel stuff.The decor in the rooms and the lobby was hip and the lobby was full of male models (presumably there for Fashion Week) when we arrived. The hallways were a little dark and gloomy but not a big deal.The location was great - close to our friend in the village and a few subway stops from the Empire State Building.The staff was pleasant and helpful - they arranged us a cab to the airport ahead of time so that we could have a last lunch in the city and relax.Also, my companion would want me to say that the mattress was great! We stayed in another hotel a few nights before and it left us with sore backs - the Marcel was a great night's sleep.Overall, we'd stay there again in a heartbeat (if only we could take another trip so soon!) and we'd recommend it to anyone like us who is budget conscious, prefers a unique experience to a chain, and who wants a good night's sleep!

Tiny Rooms but decent Value
Reviewer: New York visitor, Mobile, AL

We visited New York and booked 2 nights at the Marcel. The rooms were VERY tiny but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size with a hot shower and good water pressure. The facility does not have a fitness center as they advertise on the website and the night staff was a bit rude - but the day doorman was great and was very helpful with directions and storing our luggage until check-in. If you are looking for a spacious hotel with lots of perks - this is not it... but for a decent price with light breakfast included that's 1 block from the subway (with a private bath).. it's not bad if all you need a room for is to sleep!
