Cat Pick
Penn Station adjacency makes this the practical choice for owners arriving by Amtrak, NJ Transit, or LIRR — the walk from station to check-in is under five minutes with a cat in carrier. IHG One Rewards points apply. The Midtown West location provides central access without Times Square's highest-density noise zones. Request rooms on upper floors away from 36th Street for the quietest conditions. The hotel's full-service infrastructure means dining, fitness, and business needs are met on-site, minimising the frequency of extended absences from the cat. The surrounding area has improving restaurant and retail options as Hudson Yards development continues west.
Crowne Plaza HY36 earns positive reviews for its full-service IHG hospitality, Penn Station transit access, and professional pet welcome procedures that reflect the brand's established programme quality. Reviewers describe the property as a reliable and competent full-service hotel for guests who value IHG Rewards benefits and proximity to Penn Station. The Midtown West 36th Street location balances transit access with proximity to the Theater District and Hudson Yards. Staff is described as professional and responsive. Some reviewers note that the hotel's corporate-oriented format means the atmosphere is functional rather than characterful, but for business travellers and transit-dependent guests, the reliability is cited as a primary strength. The 24-hour front desk and on-site dining earn practical appreciation from cat-owning guests managing early departures or late arrivals. Overall, Crowne Plaza HY36 is described as a dependable and well-positioned Penn Station-area choice.
