Wellington Hotel : Adequate but not great

Advantages: Location, food available downstairs
Disadvantages: Room was small and needed updating

I stayed at the Wellington hotel on my second trip to New York, and the decision was based on a recommendation from the Travel Agent. There were a few people in reception when we arrived and it took about half an hour to be checked in. We had booked one double room and one twin room for our party but were told that there was no twin rooms available so we would have to have a double with a foldaway bed, which someone would bring to the room. When ...
...on it as it seemed to be about 30 years old and ready to collapse at any minute. Fortunately I was staying with my sister so it wasn't really a huge problem that we shared a double bed. I wasn't really happy with the room itself, it was small and the view was of an apartment building not even the street. It was in dire need of updating in the bathroom with rusty pipes clearly visible underneath the sink, and the tiles needing either replacing or ...

Review of Wellington Hotel, New York City

The perfect location in New York

Advantages: Brilliant location, modern, big room, huge TV, one of the cheapest hotels
Disadvantages: Breakfast is expensive, toilet blocked a couple of times, not enough lifts

The Park Central Hotel New York is in a brilliant location on 56th and 7th right in the centre of everything. A 10 minute walk downtown brings you to Times Square, 2 blocks uptown takes you to Central Park, 5th Avenue shopping is just 1 or 2 blocks to the east and a subway station 20 seconds away to take you to wherever else you want to go. Carnegie Hall is directly opposite and the Rockefeller Centre is less than 10 minutes away. The hotel is surrounded ...
...Irish bar just opposite. The location really couldn't get any better. When we first arrived it was difficult for us for find but that was only because we didn't have a map with us and because the grid system is so confusing at first. We were walking up and down for about 20 minutes until we eventually came across it at practically the same place where we started! The 3.5* hotel looks great from the outside with its revolving doors and door men and ...

Review of Park Central, New York City

Refurb work on hotel disappointing

Advantages: Breakfast, free internet, location
Disadvantages: refurb work, not very good staff

Stayed in June 2008, I was told there would be minor refurbishment work taking place between the hours of 9 and 5. I was ok with this as I would be out exploring the city at these times. We were also told that our floor would not be worked on whilst we were there. Our floor had no wall paperor carpets and the smell of paint was awful, there was also a numebr of workmen starting as early as 7.30 and I saw some on an evening too. Apart from this I ...
...downstairs was a great bonus and the location was great, situated between the empire state building and maceys. There was also breakfast included which is quite strange for new york, was nice with some bagels and toast etc. I think I would choose a different hotel next time, though the refurb will probably be finished by the next time I visit the Big Apple. ...

Review of Comfort Inn Manhattan, New York City

Well located radisson at a good price

Advantages: well located polite service
Disadvantages: overpriced food

...week for 5 days, The Radisson Lexington. BOOKING I booked our stay through hotels.co.uk and was paid upfront which sometimes can make it more difficult on arrival, but no problems here. We got the 5 days for a rate of 490 pounds over the easter break which we felt was really good. We had previously held a room on the website and waited for a cheaper rate to appear on the other sites as they are always cheaper. CENTRAL LOCATION The hotel is exceptionally ...
...a nice affluent neighborhood which is around the corner from the Waldorf Astoria on Park Ave and the Palace. A short block walk or two brings you to the Rockerfeller Centre home to NBC and radio city music hall. Quite amazing how close it all is. We easily walked to Timesquare most days as well, and it was about a 5 dollar cab ride in light traffic. We had a view of the Chrysler building from our hotel and enjoyed the views of the city. There was ...

Review of Radisson Lexington Hotel New York, New York City

Edison hotel New York

Advantages: Rooms are spacious, clean, fresh and everyone is so friendly.
Disadvantages: No disadvantges, loved this place.

I visited this hotel with my school in February 2007 and there was a group of 40 with 5 teachers. The group included boys and girls, there were very welcoming when we arrived after a long flight from England and getting up a 4.30. They allowed us up to our rooms, which where very spacious and comfortable. They had big double beds, which could have easily have fitted three people in. The bathroom was spacious and clean with lovley hot water for when ...
...long weary day. They provided us with big white fluffy towels to use after our bath and shower and layed out complimenatry gifts for us to use. The hotel is just round the corner from Times Square which is buzzing all the time with the bright lights. I recommend you visit this hotel, with its friendly staff and comfortable beds. ...
