Skyline Hotel hotel description>>

Fantastic Time, October 2003
Reviewer: New York visitor, Glasgow, Scotland

My family stayed at the Skyline for 8 nights. We had a fantastic time! The hotel is in a great location, a short walk from Times Square and the M50 bus is great for getting home at night because it stops right outside the hotel. The 24-hour deli across the street is very good for breakfast and coffees. Starbucks is close by and has loads of seating. The Skyline is lovely because it is very clean with good sized rooms. The staff are helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the Skyline Hotel and will stay there again on future trips to NY.

Good Stay
Reviewer: New York visitor, Newport Beach, CA

Stayed two nights at the Skyline prior to a cruise to Canada. This hotel sure beats other places we have stayed in NYC. The location is great for those taking a cruise from the 50th St. Cruise ship area. A short walk east takes you to the heart of the theatre district. Even better you can have a fantastic Italian dinner at Basilica which is only a few blocks away. Our room had a beautiful view of the Empire State Building. The room was clean and well kept. The only problem we encounted was trying to take our luggage to our room by ourselves. We were offered bell help but declined. The way to the elevator was difficult and I had to return to the front desk for re directions to the elevator. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to our friends and if we return to NYC this is the place we will stay.

Best Bargain in NYC
Reviewer: jtm2001@verizon.net, Chicago

We had to travel to NYC for a funeral and needed to find accomodations for a group of 8 persons. On such short notice, we were looking at rooms in the $200-$300 dollar range, until we found the Skyline. We booked 2 rooms, each having 2 queen beds. This was perfect for our group and would be great for families. The price for the room? $119.00 per night for four persons. Try and beat that anywhere in NY!The rooms were good sized and the bathroom was the size of most upper class hotels. They were clean and the beds were very comfortable. It did just what I needed it to do, which was provide a nice place to sleep and shower. I mean, why pay for a marble sink and an over sized room when you won't be in in for most of the day? In addition, this place is within 4 blocks of Times Sq. and near to bus and subway access. Fat Sal's across the street has great pizza and the deli's on either corner of the block are great. (They deliver for free w/ a minimum order) Another plus for travelers on a budget.While I was confirming my reservations over the phone, I encountered 2 people who were disinterested in helping me. Apparently those persons either got fired or went on vacation because I was given noting but courteous service and the option of a free upgrade when I checked in and throughout my stay. Overall, we were all very happy with the Skyline Hotel and we will all stay there the next time we visit New York.There were a few negatives, but none affected our trip or our decision to stay there again. One was the stale smoke odor in the hallways. It did not seep into our room, but was strong while we were walking in the hotel. The second was the low water pressure and the water temp, which was not hot enough for my taste. Again, small things we noticed but with all the other positives, not enough to make us want to stay somewhere else.I recommend this place for anyone who is trying to keep the high prices of NY onder control. I have also stayed at the Hilton at Rockefeller Plaza on a work trip and I dont see much of a difference. Between the two, I would stay at the Skyline again because of the lower cost and high value.
