If there was a ZERO rating I would have given that. I booked the hotel using orbits for 2 nights 2 months in advance ... called the hotel 2 days before the trip to confirm and they said they were sold out on one day and i have reservation for just one day. Receptionist was the worst ever front desk person I have talked to ... first she did not want ...

Not Swank, But Adequate
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/26/08
I've stayed in some of the best hotels in NYC on a corporate dime and this is not one of them. It is not swank and it does not make you feel like a million bucks when you step in it. There's no doorman and the complimentary toiletries are not made in France.
What it is however is VERY reasonable for the area and perfectly adequate. My room ...

A hotel is for sleeping anyway
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/20/08
I've been to NY a handful of times before, all on my company's dime. This is the hotel I choose on my modest budget and it was okay. The location was fabulous and the hotel's best asset, besides the staff.
On the downside, the beds are verging on uncomfortable; but if you are tired enough like we were, walking the city, it ...
I have no idea what these people are talking about! I absolutly loved the Da Vinci and WILL stay there next time i visit NYC, the room was pretty big for NYC and the staff was excellent, the price was also great for us, we were there for 3 nights and did eat at the restarant and it was outstanding as well, the room was always cleaned and the water ...

Loved it!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/07
I've been reading some of the reviews from people here and honestly don't understand what they are talking about. It certainly doesn't sound like the hotel that i've been staying in. I thought the hotel was lovely. The rooms looked very nice and the staff was very helpful and friendly. And the location was great! In a matter of ...
We stayed here because of a reccomendation from friends and also the price. The rooms where large and very clean. The bellman was very friendly and so was the frontdesk staff. We did not eat at the restaraunt because we wanted to experience NY. There were some problems. The internet never worked, they forgot our early check-in, the computers went ...
The room was the size of a matchbox and the bedding was from 1980. The pillows were flat. The water was cold- night and morning. The rooms were not stocked with iron & board. You have to ask the front desk and they only have a couple. All of that I was willing to deal with considering its location was prime and the cost was cheap. Then on the ...

Nice budget stopover
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/07
I had one night stay only with my wife and a daughter. This was presumably the lowest decent hotel fare I could get in the Manhattan after a wide search over internet. The single bed room was overbooked so had to settle for a double bed for $175.00 including taxes. The place is very convenient in heart of the city. Very close to central park, times ...
About $480.00 total for 3 nights. Arrived at checkin (3:00), didn't have room ready. No washcloths, no coffeepot, no iron or ironingboard. The nighttime desk attendant seemed very nice and helpful. The comp breakfast items consisted of coffee, packaged dounuts, and rolls. Location is great, on 56th, just about 10 streets up from Times Square. ...
We planned to stay for 2 nights and ended up leaving at 4 AM the 2nd night when our toilet broke and the only person on staff handed us a plunger and a bucket and told us it was our problem. There is NO security and few amenities, so if you do stay here, do so at your own peril! Also, everytime you leave the hotel, you're required to hand over your room key, so be warned.
