| The location is everything with this hotel. Loved it and will stay there next time as well. Of course the bathroom could have been more clean but it didn't bother us too much anyway. We were only at the hotel to sleep! |

| A shame there is nowhere to sit in a lounge to relax in the evening or while waiting for a flight after checkout etc Would be wonderful if that was a service in the hotel. Location is absolutely splendid. |

| I stayed in a 'Club' room. Stated that there would be wireless and wired internet, however, only wired could be used without charges (with a very short cable provided!). Room was small and basic, but adequate and comfortable. Bathroom was tiny, but functional. The 'club lounge' was very convenient and offered a basic breakfast in the mornings and snacks/soft drinks available during the rest of the day, which was good. The lifts were very poor. At peak times it was not unusual to wait 20 minutes for a lift. I was on the 17th floor and used the stairs while going down as it was quicker. This hotel is in an excellent location with just a couple of minutes walk to Times Square. It is a good base if you are there to explore the city with easy access to the subway and other public transport. Overall a positive experience. |

| Great location if you can get a good rate. Hotel is older style and some rooms are very small but made up for by location less tha 2 mins walk from Times Square. If you can get for $2-$300 worth the money, any more and you may as well stay at the more modern alternatives. |

| For the price, the Milford Plaza is a great place to stay. If you are looking for a very safe central location, there is no better spot. Theatres surround the hotel, Times Square is just up the street, Hell's Kitchen is a short walk away, Penn Station is very close by, and subway stops are everywhere. If you are looking for a palatial suite, this is not the place. But if you are looking for a very safe, clean hotel with great amenities, this is perfect. Rooms are very tiny so don't bring a lot of luggage - there simply is not room to store it. The beds have the usual yucky polyester grungy spreads, but the beds are comfortable. The Milford Club is a great upgrade. You get a FREE breakfast, beverages and snack foods throughout the day, and FREE Internet (in the Club room or in your own bedroom). It's a great place to spend a few hours on your last day waiting to leave for the airport. The staff is outstanding - extremely friendly and very helpful. ALL the staff. The hotel elevators with their unique "punch-in-your-floor-number-and-take-an-assigned-elevator" system is both unique and very efficient. Tip: If you are staying on the 16th floor, walk down one floor - you'll have access to 6 elevators instead of only 3. This is very helpful to know in high use times. Theatres are all around the Milford, including the popular Phantom of the Opera, which is just around the corner. Eateries, including the terrific Dallas BBQ and European-style delis, are just a short walk away. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, Times Square, the Hudson Riverfront, and so much more is just a short walk away. The Milford is a great value and we will stay here again. |

| It was exactly what I expected. No frills, but fit my needs for one night. The nice perk was randomly being upgraded to a suite, which was spacious. The staff were helpful and the rooms and bathroom were clean. |

| We were a little concerned about the difficulty in getting access to lifts at busy times. However the hotel was in a fabulous place for tourists and we really loved our visit to NY |

| The Milford Plaza is in a great location at 44th St and 8th Ave. Many Broadway theaters are literally around the corner. That's about all that is good. Our room was very small, maybe 8' x 9', and located behind the elevators. The room exit, through a long narrow passageway from the door, was partially blocked by furniture that did not fit the small space in the room (probably a fire code violation). The view of the television was blocked by the bathroom door. The "closet" was about 12" deep. The bath was smaller than on a cruise ship and far less well designed. The shower had mildew in corners that had been partially covered with caulk and regrew through the caulk. Apparently, bleach is not a known cleaning product at the Milford Plaza. In general, the housekeeping was poor. The bed was soft and saggy. The furnishings were well worn, poorly selected for the space available, and ugly. This is not what one should expect for 300 per night, even in New York. |

| Although great location, the room was not clean and towels had stains on them. I thought the hotel was over - priced for what we got and picture very different to what we got |

| I was appalled that this very, very average hotel in New York costs DOUBLE what a five star luxury hotel recently cost me in Tokyo! I think New York is now more expensive than Tokyo. If you don't believe me, research the prices on travel online. At any rate, the Milford is no more than adequate, and in no way compares to what I got for my money in Japan. The rooms are tiny, even compared with those in Japan. At 1500 for the week, I'd call it highway robbery for what I got. However, the staff was very pleasant (unusual for New York), and helpful. The elevator system is quite good for a hotel this large. The decor and furniture is somewhat worn, and the closet was not big enough for two people to store their clothing. By New York standards this may be the best you can get for the price. By far, the ONLY reason to stay here is the location, which is one block from Time's Square, and the E and C trains are just outside the front door. But, in any other US city this place would be considered a dump. It's sad to see this city become so unreasonable and over the top expensive... I'm SO VERY GLAD I don't live in New York anymore (after 13 years of it, I'd had enough)... New York is a wonderful place to visit... you know the rest...! |

| The room was small but clean and adequate. Location was second to none. Most staff were very nice but house keeping couldn't have been more ignorant if they tried. Also lady on the tourist helpdesk in the foyer was having a bad day for the entire week...apart from that great hotel!!!! we'll stay there again. |
