Skyline Hotel

Good hotel - great location

Pros: We were in NYC to see some friends and go to a concert at Terminal 5, and we picked Skyline based on its proximity to the venue and the fact that it had $10 parking! It was a 10 minute walk to the venue, and about a 10 minute walk to the park or Time Square. The rooms were exactly what you would expect for a reasonably priced hotel in New York City, they were slightly smaller and a little old, but perfectly clean.

Cons: The rooms were exactly what you would expect for a reasonably priced hotel in New York City, they were slightly smaller and a little old, but perfectly clean.

Why you lyin'

Pros: Our stay was during one of the busier weekends, when the Pope, Beyonce, and everyone but their mother decided to go to NYC. Needless to say, there were few options that fit our budget and our requirements. We booked the hotel because of location, price and overall comments from other reviewers. First off, we loved the location! Situated right in the center of Hell's Kitchen, the nearby restaurants were incredible and it was easy access to go anywhere in NYC. We also liked the room itself. It was a decent size, with two twin beds that were more like full-sized than college comfort, it was clean, and it was quiet.

Cons: I didn't like filling out a form online for early check-in, just to arrive and find out we need to wander the streets for an hour because they didn't have a room for us until 1 pm. I also didn't like the option of choosing a room with a view only to have our window facing a wall. Finally, for a name like Skyline hotel, it gives off a false hope that it's taller than five floors. Motel, maybe. And certainly not valued at $300 a night. But for our one-night stay outside of the room, it had a clean bed, a big room, and the added comfort of a great location.
