Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 400 W 37 St highlight a well-maintained building with clean, spacious units and responsive, friendly staff, including kind doormen and attentive management. Amenities like in-building laundry, strong heating and water pressure, and good closet space are appreciated. The location offers easy transit access near Penn Station and Port Authority, though proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel and 9th Avenue leads to persistent traffic noise and occasional late-night disturbances. While neighbors are generally friendly, noise from outside can be a drawback. Some concerns include occasional pest issues, cheaper construction materials in parts, and suggestions for improved hallway cleanliness. Overall, tenants praise the building's value and management despite external noise challenges.

Pros:
Rent was cheaper than most of the other buildings in the area. Management is responsive and you can negotiate your rent a little bit.
