The room was very, very small even by midtown NYC budget hotel standards. Still, the room was clean, everything worked and the included breakfast was a big plus. Good location, good staff too. If you just need a place to sleep and are not claustrophobic it's a good choice.

What a nightmare, elevator did not work for 3 out of 4 days. Room is as small as your home's bathroom, imagine the bathroom size. Breakfast "included" is just 3 items consisting of uncooked hash browns, burned sausages and little pieces of bacon. Toilet got clogged and they took a whole day to fix it. If it wasnt because it was a holiday weekend I would have stayed in another hotel but unfortunately all hotels were full

Free Night Nightmare
The reason why I am not giving a bad review to this hotel nor showing photos of initial room,, is due to the property Manager who accommodated me as best he could. My initial reaction was not pleasant. And it got exasperated when I contacted Hotels.com's Customer Service to complaint about my experience. The room given was not at all what I had expected, nor seen advertised when determining which hotel to stay during my weekend escape. I became mostly furious when the customer representative virtually told me, that I should probably not mind the room, as I had "received a free hotel stay." She sort of implied this to which I had to tell her that I had paid for all the hotels prior to receiving this "alleged free hotel stay." I had to actually pay an additional $103.00 as the hotel charges an estimate of $200 plus fees. And sorry, this is a 2 1/2 🌟 hotel, there are way better hotels for that price! And I was not given options to book another room at a different hotel. I was practically forced to accept the deal the manager would offer, like it or not. Hence, I am appreciative of Sabine , the manager going out of his way to assist me. Biut quite disappointed in Hotels.Com.

cons - ordered twin room and got a small single room. The hotel insisted its a twin room, and i needed to pay and upgrade to a larger with larger bed. The hotel management was supposed to contact me after check out to discuss the extra charge, but they never did. I had a problem with the sink, but it was fixed quickly. A/C was noisy and didn't really cool. Water pressure was a bit low. Pillows were not comfortable.

Great location, very comfortable, friendly
This is an older hotel with modern updates. Mattress was very comfortable, pillows are nice and fluffy, nice quality sheets, blankets, and thick towels. Bathroom shower, toilet, and sink are all new. Some old dirt/grunge around the doorframe, carpeting is not new but not bad.
Continental breakfast includes simple egg patties, sausage, hash browns, fresh waffles, and packaged fruit and pastries. Juices and basic coffee and Lipton teas.
Staff is friendly, professional and helpful.
Room is small, lobby is small but attractive. View out hotel room window is unattractive backs of buildings.
I stayed at the Redbury just around the corner and much prefer its stylish rooms and hotel ambiance and restaurant, but not sure the extra $ is worth it. You can go to Marta, the restaurant at the Redbury, for a meal but stay at the Clarion and save yourself some cash for other NYC expenses.

The location is excellent, due to its convenient Murray Hill location next to the 6 train. As a lifelong New Yorker, I can say that the Clarion is in a safe, comfortable location and you can't beat the price. The room was on the small side, but the bed was comfortable, the room was clean (dated, but clean), the temperature cozy, and the free breakfast was lovely. The staff kind and welcoming, I think this is a great inexpensive place and it suited my overnight stay after attending a gala just fine.

Small but close to subway and bars
Well, we knew that a hotel in New York would be small and any I have previously stayed in have been... but this is a whole new level of small. I would only recommend it if you are traveling alone. My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and he actually had to leave the room when I needed to get dressed and move around because there was simply no space. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean, but the rooms were outdated and the carpet/ walls were very dirty. The breakfast is what you would expect for a "complimentary breakfast" - not bad, not good. There is one elevator and it was old and slow. We took the stairs most of the time from the 3rd floor. Hot water ran out on our last night and was still out the morning we left, so we had to go without showers, which wasn't very ideal. The location is very close to the 28th street subway station, so that was a major plus. We also tried several different bars around the hotel and loved them - hole in the wall bars with great bartenders, drink specials and locals.... so if you're in to that kind of thing, this is a great location for that. We especially enjoyed Desmond's (next door), Wolfe Tone's and Whiskey... something. There are also a lot of convenient restaurants and a Walgreen's around the corner. It's far enough away from the lights and sounds and it's a grew location for subway use, but be prepared for the incredibly small size and lack of frills.

Pretty convenient. Staff was nice.
Overall the experience was very pleasant. Internet worked great, breakfast was good. Staff was very nice. Hotel was very clean and laid out well. I came for vacation so had no timetables or agenda. So any suggestions I have would just add to a nice experience. 1. The elevator took forever to come. I ended up walking up the stairs because each time I was convinced it was never coming. 2. The room at about midnight each night got very cold. I don't know if they turned down the heat but it was very cold and the covers were not adequate to deal with the cold. 3. The last day I was there there was no cold water. The only notification was a posted Xerox note on the elevator and one in the hall.There was no apology or anything and so I went without a shower because I couldn't brave the cold to endure an icy one.

The staff at the front desk was efficient and pleasant. I had a ticket for valet parking in 5 minutes. Their protocol for valet parking is to dial "0" 40 minutes before you expect to depart and the car is available when you check out. It had to be the most quiet hotel room I have ever slept in.

Never a 2 star hotel of this kind.
This hotel is horrible for someone who is looking for luxury and is used to 3-4 star hotels. It is well-located but
1- king room is tiny for 2 people and looks dark.
2- elevators are too small and couldn't fit 2 people and their luggage.
3- room service doesn't exist. It's more room assistance and guidance, we didn't have the iron and iron table in our room and my sister had to go downstairs and take them herself.
4- the AC stopped working in the room
5- the breakfast was bad: very fake and it tasted like fresh frozen food
6- no fridge inside the room
7- no windows in the bedroom so no air inside the room: it was awful staying in the room.
8- the design of the room is outdated and scary: I felt I was in an horror movie from the 60s
Overall, the room is horrible for 2016, too small, can't breathe in, ugly!
However, the staff is helpful and willing to assist. The washrooms were super clean. I will never go there again and please don't go there too. The ratings are overrated: this hotel is not worth the money.

Went to New York for a solo getaway to do sight seeing and lots of photography. Hotel is well located. If you don't mind a walk then it's an hour and a half from Brooklyn, and about an hour to Central Park.
Hotel room was the size I expected for New York but well laid out. Breakfast was basic but pleasant.
Enjoyed the stay and would stay again if I was travelling solo. If I was travelling as a couple I might spend a bit more and stay somewhere slightly more up market, but that's just my preference.

Small but Convenient
If you're looking mainly for someplace to store your stuff and sleep in at night, this is the place for you. It's a great location near subway stations and within walking distance to a lot of Manhattan activities. The room itself is incredibly small, even by NYC standards. I traveled by myself and stayed in a single double bed, which was already pretty tight for one person. However the room and bathroom were pretty clean. Use the stairs when you can as the elevator can probably fit at most 3 people without luggage. The free breakfast was decent. There were some hot foods like eggs and sausage in addition to the usual continental fare.

Review of Clarion Hotel Park Ave, NY.
Ok I am going to be very honest!
Upon my arrive, staff was very nice at front desk. She was consistent until we left. I was in a great location on Park Ave, however a few things bothered me. The room was so small, however because I was on Park Avenue, I was able to overlook the space. But in my two days there I was unable to sleep. The Bed was tiny, which is fine because it had to fit in a tiny room. But unfortunately the bed was so Uncomfortable, it was way too soft, almost like Jello. To make things worse all the Pillows were like Jello too. So I couldn't sit up and work. My back started hurting, and I definitely could not sleep. The net curtains and windows were neglected, very dirty, My plan was to extend and stay longer. However I checked into another Hotel after 2 days. Was the best solution in the End!
Clarion. Please you need better beds and Pillows and someone to wash the net curtains!! I would have got very mad if I traveled on an 8 hour flight to come to a wobbly jello like bed where I could not get any sleep.
The solutions for a good location.
Buy better beds and pillows. Have someone clean windows at least once a week. Wash net curtain blinds here and there!! I like the location.

Not a Bad Little Deal
The location is superb. It's about a 10-minute walk from most prime mid-town locations including Penn Station. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Good price, too.
However, this may have been the world's tiniest room. I'm 5'2" and could barely close the bathroom door if I was on the toilet and nearly tripped several other times because everything was so close together. And my neighbors sucked, but that wasn't the hotel's fault. I didn't spend much time in the room, so that wasn't too big of a deal.
I will stay here again, though. The friendly staff, proximity, price, and cleanliness made up for any (minor) annoyances.

Well, for starters the room was very expensive ($270)for what we received! The smallest hotel room I ever stayed in for sure; double bed rooms only available; warm water only for showers that required a towel to be laid down or you'll fall and possibly break your neck. Our view was horrible! A dark narrow alley that let zero light in the room and an old fire escape... you absolutely could not tell whether it was daytime or nighttime...In terms value on the $, I'll give it a solid 2/10.

Worse service ever!!
I stayed for one night. The hotel had continental breakfast included, which wasn't worth it. As I'm coming back to my room to rest a bit before checkout, I ran into the maid, who had taken off the bed linens and explained to me that it was to give the laundry room a head start. I have never experienced this before. I finally went downstairs to check out at 11, turns out check out was actually at noon, and as a explained everything to the Front Desk manager, she apologized said that wasn't supposed to happen and offered me a 25% discount on a future stay that I will absolutely never use. She, also took down my information and said that the hotel manager would be contacting me, but of course that never happened.

Cozy and comfortable
My stay was very pleasant in what seemed to me an old style hotel in miniature. A small front desk was opposite a small lobby, furnished in old world European style. I went up a small elevator to a narrow corridor and down to a tiny room that, nonetheless, had everything I needed, set out in clean, efficient style. The next morning I found that the continental breakfast was, in fact, quite a full one in a small space and closely overseen by a friendly chef. All in all, I would recommend the Clarion to whoever prizes service over size.

Enjoyed our 10 day stay at this hotel. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the location was first rate. As all of the reviews I read before I booked stated, the rooms are really, really small. I've been coming to NYC for 30 years, and this may be the smallest room I've ever stayed in. Usually, I don't spend much time in the room, so it was not an issue, but for some travelers who like to lounge in the room, forget it.

Room was small, as expected in NYC, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff was always friendly when I passed through the lobby. Free internet was a nice added bonus since so many hotels today still charge for this feature.

Small rooms but GREAT location.
The room was VERY small but clean and close to every thing. I am a walker so I walked to Empire State Bldg, Time Square, Grand Central. If you don't want to walk just hop on the subway. Several stations in close proximity. They offer breakfast which was decent. I did not like the fact that you couldn't make your own waffle. You had to wait for one guy that was not only the person running breakfast but the bell captain and sometimes front desk. But if you don't want their FREE breakfast you have plenty of choices. Several places to eat; Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Bread and Butter, Chipolte, McDonalds. Also several nicer restaurants located in the area. For the price I would return and/or recommend. I'd give it a 3.7.

Good trip
Had to change rooms 3 times but staff was very accomodating and friendly, first room smelled like smoke, second room had too much traffic noise. Enjoyed their breakfast with waffles and other items free of charge...also had a free cookies/snack and coffee in the evening. Also kept my nutella in the pantry for my morning meals.

Pretty good
Me and my partner stayed only one night but our quick stay was pleasant thanks to clarion hotel. Like most reviews will say the rooms are a bit small in size but for a couples stay for a romantic weekend the size wont bother you. The service was all around good, pleasant people and an overall nice hotel

Good price, good location
Located in a nice neighborhood on Park Ave. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They have valet parking for $30/night, but we actually got lucky and found street parking. Rooms are clean, very small, but it's NYC, and for the price we were completely satisfied. Overall no complaints!

Perfectly Adequate for a Business Trip
The hotel room itself was really small, at least by the standards I'm used to, so that was a bit of a shock. But everything was clean and well maintained. This is a great economical option if you're in Manhattan on business and don't need anything beyond a place to crash overnight. The wifi wasn't great - it was easier to just use my phone's data - so if that's a necessity you will want to plan accordingly.

Not bad
It's a good one but the hallways are narrow and for complimentary breakfast needs more man power to refill the food.

Misleading Descriptions of Rooms!
I booked this hotel with the description of a double standard room (photo shown had two beds) and was shocked when I arrived to the hotel and they informed me that it meant 1 bed for 2 people. I had to pay an extra $10 a night for a cot that didn't fit in the room. My feet were literally under the desk as the bed laid askew. The hotel and room were both clean and the service was fine, but I still couldn't get over the room situation. Also there was a price difference from Hotels.com to what they charged me at the hotel for overnight parking.

Great price and convenience for a solo traveler.
I stayed two nights while visiting NYC, traveling alone. The hotel was very convenient for access to trains and subway, and is in a good neighborhood. The room was small, but adequate for one person, and reasonably priced. The room was clean and the staff were cordial and efficient. Checkin and checkout were prompt, with no hassles.

Good Location
Generally positive but a very small room. Provide a public Internet portal for those who do not have a laptop and do not charge people for using it!

Nice price, good location
I had to book a relatively inexpensive room on short notice for a business trip. The location happeperfect for both of my appointments. If you're staying for pleasure, the Clarion is close to the NYCAirporter GCT dropoff/pickup. In fact, there's plenty to see in the area just walking about. Room was tiny, but for my purposes that was fine. And it was clean. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful.

CLEAN, CONVENIENT, FRIENDLY
BEING A SINGLE FEMALE SENIOR & NOT A FREQUENT TRAVELER I COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THIS TRIP IN NYC WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE STAFF. THE ROOM WAS CLEAN AND BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE! IF I EVER GO BACK I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN AND RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS.

Surprised to Find
While the Clarion Hotel Park Avenue was located in a terrific area, the rooms left much to be desired. While the linens and bathroom were clean, I was a bit shocked to find various items under the bed: a plastic fork, the remote control, something too far too reach that I had no interest in reaching. Overall, it was fine and a reasonably good bargain for the location. Still, staff needs to take one extra step and at least find the remote control!

The location of the hotel is perfect, it is in the heart of Manhattan. The staff is very helpful. The rooms could be a bit larger, otherwise the hotel is very comfortable.

Clean, friendly, great location!
As noted in previous reviews, the rooms are very compact. To pack light is an understatement, however with space at a premium in Manhattan, this hotel is a little jewel. The room was squeaky-clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly, the breakfast area was clean and well-stocked, and the main sitting area is comfortable. I would recommend this hotel and will probably stay again if I return to Manhattan.
