Have minimal expectations and you won't be disappointed!
I feel utterly ripped off by the Stay Hotel...Due to hurricane Sandy my husband and I are currently nomads and had the great misfortune of staying here.... This hotel has a beautiful lobby, good bar downstairs, and excellent location if you want to be in Times Square, but this is where the thrills end. The room is about the size of a decent size closet...the only place I remember having rooms this small in the city is the Hudson Hotel (but atleast those are gorgeous rooms). The Stay has dark and depressing rooms..very dark colors, which in my opinion was a horrible color choice for rooms of this size. My husband and I nearly wanted to forfit the $439 we spent on the night we were gauged into paying last week but there was no other place to stay. (Now we know why) The room seemed clean, the TV was nice and the bed was comfortable, but it was so dark and depressing that unless you get these rooms at a very good price I would not stay here. If you are ok with dark and small, then this is the place for you...
