The Herald Square Hotel has been praised by many travel professionals. Here are some samples:

"The Best Budget Hotel Buy In New York City, with the addition of Location, Location, Location!"

"Near the Empire State Building and Macy's, the former home of Life magazine has been reincarnated as a clean, comfortable budget hotel. Welcoming guests is Philip Martiny's sculpted cherub known as Winged Life over the entrance. Inside, tribute is paid to the former occupant with the magazine's covers everywhere. Manager Abraham Puchall and his staff willingly dispense advice on sightseeing and shopping, and the money you save here will go a long way toward shopping splurges." Frommer's

"The Herald Square Hotel was the original Life Magazine building, and it retains its charming cherub-adorned entrance. All rooms were recently renovated, corridors are filled with framed Life illustrations. It's near Macy's and the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, and it's a good deal !" Time Out
