Hotel was ok - I expected a little more for the price, even in NYC. Hotel nickel and dimes you for everything- early check in, $50. Late check out $25/hour. Hold bags, $10. One of the two elevators didn’t work the entire time we were there which meant waiting forever to catch a lift -that only held 6-8 people (and house keeping/maintenance staff also has to use). Plaster/paint chipping off the ceiling and no in room fridge. Construction in the building started bright an early each morning so dont expect to sleep in. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and room had coffee packets which we dont find in many NY hotels. Overall, it was just ok - if we go back, I’ll ask for a 2nd floor room so we can avoid the elevator situation.

The location of this property was ideal for our visit to Broadway. The hotel was OK, it was a little dated and not as nice as other places we have stayed for the price.

This hotel is an absolute mess. There is NO ac in the lobby and barley in the rooms. The staff is not helpful and not friendly, My room was dirty and had an OLD window unit. The cleaning staff just walks into the rooms in the morning. Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms, and someone has gone into my room while i was in a meeting and took apple products from me. I have it tracked on find my iphone and i was yelled at by the staff that i was wrong and that it was at the theatre next door.. the theatre next door was a vacant theatre.. When i noticed they were missing and saw they were at the hotel i called 48 times and no one would answer the phone

This has been one of my worst stays ever! Really disappointing. Dirty rooms, defective thermostats, air conditioning was leaking and every morning we would wake up in a pool of water, VERY UNSANITARY!!! Broken and moldy bathrooms. Dust everywhere and terrible smell. Staff simply was either not willing to help or didn’t have the resources to do so. We could not get additional sheets or blankets or towels, there was no baby crib available despite being told they had them and we will get one to our room. When traveling with 3 kids it’s important for me pictures of the hotel conditions and amenities reflect real conditions during my stay. This was not the case at the Gallivant. Expedia images of this location were far off from reality. Really felt like I was being robbed considering how expensive the stay was for 3 room.

This os our second time in this hotel. The location is great. Walkable to some of tourist spot. Most of the staff are nice but there is 1 particular staff in the counter whoI spoke over the phone is rude. Unfortunately, I did not able to get her name. And when I went down and asked if she is the one I spoke to, she denied it. The family room that we get is spacious. But the coffee maker has cockroach. Had to follow up twice before they change it.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed. Here's my terrible experience: 1. There's a night club right next to it so if you live lower levels you will sleep with club music.... 2. No AC lobby. Staff At the front desk doesn't care anything. Never pick up the phone either. 3. Cleaning lady knocking my door violently and open my door without permission at 8 am!!!! And the next day, they did the same, entered my room at 8am while I am still asleep. And they did not clean the room. 4. If you want a new towel, you need to get downstairs to front desk to get it yourself. 5. Luggage storage is $3 per bag! Even a little bag count as one. And it's CASH ONLY! I've never seen a hotel charge people luggage storage fee on their customer. Eye opening experience. 6. Rude. Every staff work there got an attitude. Conclusion: can't believe I Spent $300/night for this.
