Minerva Lake

Very affordable in a great location for exploring Manhattan

Though the room was on the smaller side (completely understand as we were in NYC), our family of 5 had a comfortable and lovely stay. Pros: So many! Very clean, modern room and bathroom, lots of places to store items in the room to keep the smaller space organized and neat, attentive and friendly staff, well organized and tasty breakfast, great price, very quiet in the rooms, fantastic location. Cons: Only one member of our group could access wi-fi - the rest would have to purchase. We chose to go without. We stayed on the 21st floor which uses a bank of 3 elevators. Rooms on floor 27 and higher use a separate bank of 3 elevators. Accessing the up to floor 26 elevators was very challenging in the morning from 8-10 as one of the elevators is used exclusively to take people to and from the 5th floor for breakfast. Meaning everyone staying on those floors were limited to 2 elevators. It took almost 15 minutes to get an elevator our first morning. We chose to go down 21 flights of stairs each morning after that as it was much quicker and more efficient. Certainly not a deal breaker, and it was good exercise first thing in the morning. For those with mobility issues, I would highly suggest they stay in a room on the 27th floor or higher to ensure easier access to elevators in the morning. Overall: Cannot beat the location. 5-8 minute walk to most of the major Broadway theaters, not to mention hundreds of incredible restaurants.

This hotel was very clean and the breakfast was very good. Will stay again.
