Answer 1

Once I stayed at the Pennsylvanai Hotel. It looks dumpy inside. Yet it's in a nice neighborhood across the street from Madison Square Garden and the price was right. My girlfriend then paid with a credit card. Not sure about cash.

Answer 2

Hi. I have not personally stayed at the pennsylvania Hotel but have read quite a bit of bad reviews and seen some pretty awful pictures. go to tripadvisor.com and get reviews and see pictures for yourself.
As for location it is perfectly located by Penn station so you can take the subway anywhere from there or also walk and get to a lot of places within a few minutes like time square or the empire state building. I am going to NY later this month and staying at the new yorker ramada which is basically on the other side of penn station from where the Pennsylvania Hotel is.
I dont know how much luck you will have paying in cash because most hotels need a credit card to hold your reservation unless you are planning on not making a reservation which is risky in itself. Hope this helped a little. Michele
