Who Needs to Sleep Anyway?
Review of Marcel Hotel, New York City by
VanillaSpy
Advantages: Well located stylish boutique hotel. Walking distance from Times Square and downtown.
Disadvantages: The bedrooms are small and there is no hotel bar.
...the Big Apple at the Marcel Hotel for £450 was a steal and although I'm not usually one to book more than a week in advance, I knew we had to act fast. I wasn't wrong, the price had gone up within days and as it turned out our trip was every bit as good as we'd hoped.
The Marcel Hotel is a 3* modern 'boutique' hotel which basically means it is small and stylish and not part of a chain. The decor is tasteful and calming with walls and floors decorated ... ...in the morning. At the Marcel we rarely saw another guest and the staff were confined to the front desk, all were pleasant and polite but typical New Yorkers - never keen to stop and chat!
Our room was very small but perfectly formed. Luckily we spent very little time in it but as the shopping bags mounted up, there was less and less space to move about in.
Given that it was January we had packed for freezing temperatures however New York welcomed ...

Do Not Stay Here
Review of Milford Plaza Hotel, New York City by
RLH77075
Advantages: Near Times Square
Disadvantages: Hotel is Pathetic
...conference who was in the Milford said that they had some problem or another with their rooms. I don't know if the hotel is salvageable. The amount of rennovation it would take to make these rooms worth staying in is probably greater than the cost to demolish and rebuild. On the positive side, the hotel staff was very pleasant. But then they probably feel guilty each time they check somebody in. If this hotel were the only option I had to stay during ...

A great hotel for a great price!
Review of Belleclaire Hotel, New York City by
mark_s0
Advantages: Excellent rooms, friendly staff, transportation links, facilities near by.
Disadvantages: Lifts can only fit 2/3 people with suitcases in.
...near to the city and that has good transportation links.
We are hoping to go back to NYC next year and we would definately go back to the Belleclaire.
Hopefully this review has been helpful for anyone looking to stay at the Belleclaire or is just going to NYC. ...

Beware Of Charges!!
Review of Oxbridge Apartments Carnegie Hill, New York City by
Stephen74
Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Customer Service, Hidden Charges, Quality Of Bedrooms
...were charged over £200 by Oxbridge without notification for plumbing services to fix the bathroom toilet after we had informed them that there was a problem with the toilet drainage. We informed the contact person immediately after discovering that the drainage wasn't working properly and some time later were met by the contact person who refused to speak to us for over an hour whilst he checked the toilet out. With a very young child, we were left ... ...this company, including some who Oxbridge have tried to charge for similar problems with the toilet. The apartment has, in my opinion, some sub-standard facilities that are not properly working and in our case we were charged for informing Oxbridge of the problem. The big issue I have with this is that we weren't informed of the charges whilst we were in the US and so had no method of complaint.
I strongly advise people to steer clear of this apartment ...

Pretty decent budget hotel in the Big Apple
Review of Herald Square, New York City by
MarcoG
Advantages: Good price, good location
Disadvantages: Bad shower, stuffy room
...GRAND TOTAL FOR THE HERALD SQUARE HOTEL: 7/10 (52/70 to be exact)
I'm giving 3 stars, due to the small but irritating problems we had as explained above. If I was to stay again, I trust I would be able to give it 4 stars.
Would I stay the again?:
When we stayed at the Herald, it was going through a series of renovations. Which meant that we could hear workmen too-ing and fro-ing outside our door and as we left each morning. They left ... ...which weren't appreciated, but weren't too much of a hindrance either, if I'm honest. It's also worth mentioning that the hotel as a strict no smoking policy throughout. But would I go back? You know what? I think I would. I've stayed in better, cheaper and closer (to Times Square) hotels before in New York, so if these were unavailable, I would check this one out again. The street area looks a bit scabby and daunting, but we never had any reason ...
