I booked this property through Choice Hotels and received confirmation along with a 'we're looking forward to your stay' email just a week before arrival. When we arrived, we discovered it was actually a women's shelter, leaving us with no place to stay despite having already paid in advance. It was extremely stressful showing up in New York with no accommodations available—most hotels were fully booked—and all our plans had fallen apart. This experience was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Please avoid this location at all costs.

This stay was absolutely top-notch. The location is unbeatable—just two subway stops from Manhattan, making it super convenient for both business and sightseeing.

Staying at Lotus Blu Inn & Suites in New York was a decent experience overall. The best part? The views—some rooms offer fantastic glimpses of Manhattan skyline, but it's important to specifically request a view-facing room since not all rooms have them. The price is definitely competitive for New York, making it a solid choice if you're budget-conscious. Room sizes are average—nothing too cramped, and just right for a short stay. That said, nighttime noise can be an issue; some guests tend to play music or make noise late into the night, which might affect sleep quality. Still, considering the location, value for money, and convenience, this place holds its own as a reliable option for travelers looking for a no-frills, affordable stay in NYC.

The staff were incredibly friendly and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained.

One small suggestion: adding a fresh tomato and cheese salad to the breakfast spread would make it even better. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money and a truly comfortable experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
