Convenient to penn station
I had a hard time finding a decent and affordable hotel close to Penn station, as I was arriving by train. This hotel is 3 blocks away and close enough to easily walk lugging a suitcase and carry-on. If you have stayed in other Hilton Garden Inns, this one is not quite as spacious, but it does have the usual great beds and great staff. Within 2 blocks of the Empire State Building and a few steps from the subway. Several elevator mates have stayed here repeatedly because of the central location. You can get almost anywhere in the city from here for about 10.00. Taxi fare or less. Watch out for unmetered cabs.
