"When I arrived at the Moderne, they pleasantly welcomed me.

My flight arrived before check-in and I returned later that day to check in.

I was pleasantly surprised to know that my room had been upgraded! My accommodations were great and the location is ideal.

I felt safe walking and had lots of options to be entertained.

Will definitely recommend to others.

"We needed a stopover hotel for a night before leaving on a cruise from Manhattan to the Caribbean. This hotel was a lovely surprise and a great place to start our trip. Welcoming, Clean, Funky and fun, Great location, great price (in the off season), FABULOUS staff. They were so accommodating and helpful. I will definitely be recommending them to EVERYONE!! I can't wait to visit their other properties in Manhattan."

"It was such a great hotel in NYC! Perfect location- really close to Columbus Circle, Time Square, etc. Free wifi and 2nd floor's complimentary breads (only in the very early morning) and drinks were super. The staffs were nice as well.

One thing I did not like was the bathroom's door which was hard to open somehow.

Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!"

"Excellent location (just down the street from the Original Soup Man!). Convenient for Times Square, Central Park, Broadway, MOMA, shopping, eateries, and easy access to the subway. Room was 'compact' but well appointed, as was the bathroom. The second floor lounge with 24 hour complimentary water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh fruit and coffee cake each morning was a nice touch. The complimentary wifi was nice as well. The staff were excellent; more than happy to assist in any way/"

Nikki from Chicago, Il

"I would never suggest anyone stay at this hotel. After reading the reviews before our trip, I was excited to stay at a boutique style hotel (we usually stay at Marriott Marquis Times Square or Double Tree Suites Times Square). We are in New York every year for the International Toy Fair.
The reviews must be written by staff of the Moderne Hotel, because our stay was anything but nice, and the staff was not helpful at all.
The first red flag was the 'VACATE - Do Not Enter' sign in the window as you walk in. This sign was dated 11-22-2000, our stay was 2-11-2013. You would think that after 12 years, they would be able to address if not fix any issues regarding these matters. I am surprised that everyone failed to mention the vacate notice. If it were mentioned, I most definitely would not have book with them. If we were not required to pre-pay for the room, we would not have even walked into that establishment after reading the notice posted. I have never had to pre-pay for a room, this was odd as well.
The VACATE notice that was posted read, 'THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS HAS DETERMINED THAT CONDITIONS IN THIS PREMISES ARE IMMINENTLY PERILOUS TO LIFE. THIS PREMISES HAS BEEN VACATED AND REENTRY IS PROHIBITED UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE DEPARTMENT. VIOLATORS OF THIS COMMISSIONER'S VACATE ORDER ARE SUBJECT TO ARREST.'
Why would they let us book, and fail to mention these conditions?! It was even more frustrating that the hotel proceeded to post their own signs that stated, 'Please excuse our appearance as we renovate our basement to further enhance your experience.' As if they are doing all this as a favor to us the consumer...since the year 2000?

So, we walk in...
The person at the front desk is on a phone conversation. She does not address us. After she hangs up the phone, she proceeds to make another phone call. We are still waiting. After hanging up from the second phone conversation, the phone rings again. She answers. All this time we are standing in the tiny lobby, that only has two chairs and a small front desk, with our luggage. Still not checked in. 15-20 minutes has elapsed, and we are late for dinner with a major vendor of ours. The final phone conversation was clearly a personal call. I assume this by her responses to the person on the other end of the line, 'She's not lying.....That's what I heard too....I am sure of it...it's not a lie...etc.'
Our experience was very disappointing! I would never stay here in the future, and would never suggest anyone else stay here as well. We tried the boutique hotel, and learned our lesson...
The room was somewhat clean. Hotel is very old. The bed is very firm, and the TV channels do not come in clear. The window of our room was inches away from a brick wall, needless to say there was no view. "

"Overall, a great hotel, with just one quibble: there's no place in the bathroom to put your toiletries. There's not even a shelf in the shower to place your soap, shampoo or a place to hang your washcloth. Other than that, we had a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was also surprised that they had complimentary snacks and drinks in the guest lounge on the second floor. Nice touch."
