Stunning that a hotel that large sends you down the block for breakfast. When it opened it had multiple restaurants. Wow.

So sad to see the hotel closed, visited NYC this week for the first time in over 21 years, and I snapped some photos of the old hotel in-case it does get torn down. I just wish I could've experienced it once. Thanks for posting this -- its now a part of history.

I visited in Nov. 2019 before pandemic, thanks God... It was functional, great location and good service... I can't complain, also the staff was very kind

So sad to hear that the Hotel Penn is being demolished. We stayed there the very first time I'd ever been to NYC (in 2019) and it was right across from Madison Square Gardens, which was holding the event we were attending. We really enjoyed our stay there! Staff were great and the lobby was beautiful. We got bumped up to one of the renovated rooms & it was lovely.

Now that it’s demolished, this video is historically significant. Thanks for making it.

We stayed there in the end of November 2019 before the pandemic it was very central to everywhere in midtown no complaints here greetings from Ireland

I stayed at the Pennsylvania hotel back in 2018 my first time in New York in vacation. I enjoyed it very much

I visited Feb. 2016. Its a nice hotel. Best location.

Stayed there in 1999. For a Brit it really has that Ghostbusters vibe :) Amazing location just opposite Madison Square Garden.

In 2019 my wife and I stayed there.. Location was the best we truly enjoyed our 5 day stay. From Guam USA... and it was worth the long long travel.. Sadd that I heard it closed down..

Thank you so much for covering the details. It brings back many fond and sentimental memories. We stayed at Hotel Pennsylvania in Dec. 2000, 2012 summer and 2012 winter and loved every part of stay being right at the heart of Manhattan. I ♥️ NYC Sad to see it go :( your video would help preserve the memories!

I stayed 4 nights at the Penn in 2014. Room was ok, I slept 10hrs after a long haul flight from New Zealand to NY via LAX. Excellent location I walked everywhere just taking it all in. So sad to learn the Penn is being replaced. I’m glad I got to experience the Penn.

“Ahh beautiful day” “It’s raining” “Yea but off and on”

I worked at this hotel in 1990, at continental limo service, at the time the hotel was called new york penta. Good times, I'm from Brazil!

I'm saddened they're tearing down such a large, beautiful historic gem.

Used the Pennsylvania twice coming from the UK with my brother. Not the prettiest however very functional (cheap and cheerful!) and as you state location is everything when visiting the Big Apple. We loved our visit and would use the HP again.

I like your video. I like the way you show people what you are actually seeing in comparison to other vloggers who are trying to explain everything while showing their faces. Shoutout to other vloggers!...this is how to do it...please do not show your faces too much...we want to see the views. This hotel is quite old. I stayed here 3 years ago at the same rate. I agree that for Manhattan, the rate is definitely A-OK.

Hallo Ich hoffe du liest es aktuell 04 / 2023 du hast mir die Wahl leicht gemacht, mein nächster Stopp in new. York ist das pen Hotel ich bin 2004 letzte mal in dem Hotel gewesen. Alles super, mitten in der Stadt, bezahlbar, ok Grüße aus Düsseldorf, Germany

You dared to stay at the Pennsylvania! I used to read this hotel's reviews on Tripadvisor to have some fun (RATS, bugs, broken furniture, blocked pipes, rude staff etc.)

I can't believe there gonna demolish this building. Why does new York need more offices?

The McKim, Mead and White designed Pennsylvania Hotel that faced directly opposite the original Penn Station, which had been the largest hotel in the world when it opened, and managed to survive all these years is now just a big hole in the ground. Gone! Went there today (9/30/2023) to see what might be left, nothing except traces of the building facade where the two subway entrances were. And what will take its place? Another office tower, of course. The hotel was actually protected under the city’s landmark status, but THE DEMS who are running New York into the ground these days do not pay attention to any laws. For the right price, they will selectively apply the law to political enemies, and give their filthy rich friends a pass. I stayed there once, got a nice room for relatives visiting New York. Your review is quite accurate. Even in its modernized state (the original lobby was two stories high, with a large glass ceiling, before they lowered it to make a second floor), it was nice. Check out pre-renovation pics of the entrance area and lobby, this was palace!

Excellent video, hitting the like button doesn't do it justice! Big shock with the $35 a night resort fee, that's gonna really hit your pocket for longer stays!

I visted in 2015 and loved it, so sad it closed

Stayed here a couple of times thoroughly enjoyed the expierience..shocked to see what's its being replaced by

I was 4-12 Front desk mgr at hotel.from 1968 to 2007... Many many mgt turnabouts. 1967 we had 1900 rooms. When i left 1705. Made larger rooms. Great times and bad times...

wow really enjoyed seeing this since the hotel has now been demolished. there was history there as there was for the original Penn station. I guess it had to go because the alphabet generations absolutely have no love or like for what is not modern minimalism. its only about charging stations, high end coffee makers, gyms and hi technology all throughout ... digital, digital... digital, BTW, as to location-location- location there is now a Fairfield Hotel right across the street from the new Moynihan train station on 33rd street between 8th and 9th Aves.

Shame they're gonna tear this place down. Sure its drab and outdated but it could be something great again.

You should stay at the Copthorne Tara hotel in London, England! You will be satisfied with their breakfasts!

you should do some research on the 'luggage room" - it was the GRAND Ballroom - - A lot of history is in that hotel Thankyou for the memories

Stayed twice with my 2 kids on holiday from London 16 and 15 years ago loved it but then I would have slept on a bench

I visited in 2016 it was the best

It looks pretty dingy, not a nice hotel by any stretch really. I still would have enjoyed staying there as it's 100 year old hotel in NYC and has great location. What other famous old hotels in New York should I consider staying at next time?

@15:28 a man wearing a t shirt in january in nyc.😂😅😊🎉

Best Hotel

Sad that it will be torn down after 100 years, but that place was a rat´s nest. There is this "Penn Hotel horror movie" on youtube, I have filmed basically the same with my own smartphone. Stayed there in April 2016 for two nights and it was disgusting, Filthy, unfriendly staff, and simply a piece of junk. A bargain for central Manhattan, yes. The aircon was no aircon, it just blew hot air and was completely full of mold. Dirty windows, dirty curtains, dirty everything. No pillows covers, I used my shirt to cover it. Luckily, that was fixed the next day.

Hello, Is hotel Pennsylvenia still open? I stayed there in '13. This summer I want to go back... Due to google it is permanent closed??!?!?? Hoope to hear form you! Stephan. Netherlands.

It makes me sad that a greedy developer plans to destroy this building 😞

More like Hotel Transylvania .... *spooky* i totally forgot not the whole world is on lock down

How much did they pay you ?

Stayed here, looks good in the lobby, room I got was disgusting, holes in the walls, door to room very flimsy, overall very dirty, also bed bugs

.....2023' Closed and Torn-down.....Sad....!!!....:(

This scammers took money beforehand and never gave it back even tho it was in contract that is refundable..now nobody is answering the phone and email.. Just scammers.. I've told that I will not be charged beforehand..but I was.. Stay away

I stayed there in 2015. The worst hotel ive been in, couldnt stay there for more than 1 day.

Why was that dood walking so weird coming out of cafe R? Did he sh_t his pants brah?

Stayed there in 2016. Horrific

I had a room that looked like shit, it was hidious.

How much did they pay you for this review???Front desk (after over an hr in line.....) rude. SHitty. Run down, drab, average rooms. THis HOtel needs shut down. And look like it's being liquidated. Sad given the history. Here's to the future!

Traurig.

Dude you talk way too much 😂
