My boyfriend and I stayed here for our trip to NYC during New Years weekend. With hotel prices hiked up for the holidays, we got a room here via Hotwire, looking for something affordable.
I was pretty pleased with our accommodations at Murray Hill East Suites throughout our stay in NYC! Although the building itself is not very modern, the suites are super spacious and clean. It was all we needed really! In a past trip to NYC, I recall staying at Best Western --now that was sheisty. This was more than comfortable!
Location was great! Just a few blocks from Grand Central, we had great access to the subway. Even any cab rides we took were not too bad.
Overall, we had a great experience here for a totally affordable price (around $100 something). Would totally stay here again, and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in NYC on a budget. -

Only giving two stars and thats a stretch.
1 star for location. This place was close to midtown within walking distance to a lot.
1 star for hot water on demand in the shower.
Thats it. This is an old place. The front desk is not helpful and always tells you to talk to the desk in the morning. So what are you doing at night? 2nd thing that upset me when I came here is half the cable channels didn't work. Its one thing to not have HBO but no ESPN??? really?
Requested no smoking got a smoking room, they still use real keys! I kid you not these things weight a ton. No breakfast here, no free wifi.
I won't be back here. -

Front desk people were chatty, funny, friendly, and helpful. And bonus points for giving us free upgrades on our rooms!
My suite was SWEET! Very spacious, clean, comfortable...I could live there! (I might as well, it was way bigger than my apartment!)
The atmosphere...very old timey and I loved it! (Check out the elevator buttons, I don't know why but it fascinated me.) -

So Eric and I thought it would be super fun to stay in a hotel for Christmas Eve and this was a great choice. I loved the old time swanky decor and the Christmas tree in the lobby.
The room was HUUUGE, the bed was comfortable and it reminded me of an old grandma's apartment in a really good way. The price was definitely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better location. -

My boss lives in Chicago and comes to New York about every six weeks for meetings and to prove that she does work and stuff. She almost always stays at the Murray Hill East. She also almost always has a party in her hotel room, inviting sparkling and interesting people from all over. So I've been to parties there four or five times, and the suites are quite well-appointed, with the kitchen, dishes, and all that. On the upper floors -- at least 12 and 15 -- there are suites with terraces, a great asset to a cocktail party. The front desk is not overweeningly (or, actually, even the slightest bit) inquisitive as to the destination of people walking in off the street and striding purposefully toward the elevator.
One caveat for the guest in search of peace and quiet: my boss is not the only person who has parties there. Two parties ago we had fun interactions with some dudes who were having a bachelor party across the hall. I don't know how loud things might seem for someone who was trying to sleep; the walls aren't paper thin or anything.
On the other hand, this last time time my boss was bumped from the 15th floor to the 12th floor because some sort of middle-eastern royalty had invoked eminent domain over the 15th-floor suite she had reserved. So if it's good enough for Oil royalty, it's probably good enough for your broke ass. -

Our room was very clean and very big. Our first trip to NYC for 6 nights this month. This hotel made the stay an extra pleasant one! Great value compared to other hotels in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. Two blocks from Grand Central, but with our group of 4 we found that a cab was just as economical. We walked just about everywhere we needed to go. Our room faced the back of the hotel - no street noise at all. Stayed in what I believe they called a junior suite - queen bed, fold out sofa, kitchenette. I used the coffee pot every day - it saved me from trekking out in the cold before I was fully ready to be awake.
It is a bit out of date for sure, but for the price its not a big deal. Elevator works, room was big and clean, and the location fantastic!
Highly recommend. -

This hotel was a huge surprise! When I first stepped into the lobby, I was a little nervous...The lobby looked a little dated...It wasnt very spacious either. But then, I stepped into my room and I couldnt believe what I saw!
The room came with a kitchen, a sofa, huge bed....It was like I rented somebodies apartment for two nights! Like a fellow Yelper suggested, this place probably used to be an apartment complex...
For the price, you're getting a great deal! I liked the location because its fairly close to Central park, Broadway and 5th Avenue! Good times to be had! -

My husband and I stayed here while in NYC for a wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. We got a great rate from priceline - well under $150 for the biggest hotel room we could possibly imagine for that kind of price range in the city. The room was more like an apartment with a sitting room with couches, a full kitchen and of course a private bathroom.
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. There was a nice lobby with good seating. The icing on the cake was the bagel shop on the corner that had tofu cream cheese.
I imagine that we'll stay here next time we come to New York... the location was great, the room was clean and huge with all the amenities we could hope for and the price was great. -

I found this place randomly on http://hotels.com and it ended up being a diamond in the rough. I ended up paying under $150 a night for the biggest hotel room I have EVER stayed in in New York in a great location. The room not only was huge with a queen bed, couch, chair and dining table but there was even a full kitchen and a massive bathroom. There is also a workout room, although I didn't get a chance to use it so I can not make any promises on that aspect.
Above all, this is in a great location. It is a 10 minute walk to Bryant Park, but is on a very quiet street making it easy to sleep at night.
Overall an awesome experience staying here!! -

Very solid place for the money. Huge clean room, with a little kitchen, and a great price. Service was on par with other places that aren't high end. Excellent neighborhood with good dining options nearby as well as a quick walk to Grand Central Station.
Frr the location and price, I would definitely return. -

Older building. Old elevator. Old carpet. Big room with kitchenette.
Make sure to request a smoke free room or hall because it's sure to be a very interesting experience otherwise. Price seems high for what you get, but it's NYC. -

This hotel has bed bugs. STAY AWAY!!!
We tried to speak to the staff about the issue, however they just denied the claim. Our client had bites on his body as well as bugs in his luggage. He saw bugs in the hotel room in the trash can. -

Spacious, clean rooms. There were three of us and they upgraded to a 2 BR suite w/ full living room and kitchen. Nice! Comfortable. Great location. It's very basic--don't expect fancy. The first TV didn't work and the second hardly worked. Apparently they are planning to upgrade the TVs. I hope that's where the upgrades stop. This is a nice, price-friendly spot to stay.

My wife & I have stayed at Murray Hill on three occasions, once in a room with two queen beds and the other two in a suite with two queens and a sofa bed in the living room. The rooms also have a kitchen with pots, pans, dishes & silverware which is is a money saver. Never had a problem with noise. The housekeeping staff does a good job every day. We have reservations there for our next visit in Dec. 2010. The location is very handy to Grand Central Station.

One of the best hotel experiences I have ever had in my life! I got this room on Priceline for $110 a night, and upon check-in, I was told that they were suddenly out of queen rooms. Normally, this would have been a problem, but they gave me a room with a twin bed, a twin pullout and a TERRACE instead. The room was huge, had a full kitchen (great for the leftovers I kept bringing back to the hotel), nice bathroom with tub, oh, and the TERRACE, from which you could see the Empire State Building to the left, and the water to the right. The decor was rather outdated, but who cares about that for $110/night?!?!?
The desk staff was helpful, there was free internet access in the lobby, and the neighborhood had some really good restaurants and bars nearby. I stayed 10 days, 6 of them by myself until my boyfriend flew out to meet me, and didn't once feel uncomfortable walking around alone, even at 3 or 4 in the morning.
The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars was the sketchy elevator and somewhat rude housekeeping staff. EVERYTHING else about our stay was great! I would absolutely stay here again. -

The room was spacious and clean. Good distance from many attractions and the staff was friendly. But, there were some big problems. Around 7 am there were very loud sounds directly above our room, sounded like a jackhammer, went on for about 10-15 minutes then started again around 9. The water-pressure in the bathroom was very high (which is usually a good thing), so much so that it was almost painful. Also, we had to pay an additional 40 dollars a night just to get a pull out bed in our room. Now, I didn't expect the bed to be on par with a regular bed, but it was extremely uncomfortable.My back hurt badly in the morning, and I am only 23! I would avoid this hotel.

What a great place. Huge room, with kitchen, and a good price. service was excellent. Safe neighborhood. I think these used to be apartments, but they were pretty nice apartments and I think theyre losing money. Maybe it's easier than rent control though.
