Ramada Plaza & Inn-New Yorker Hotel, New York City

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Slightly small rooms

We stayed at the New Yorker April 2006. We found the rooms weren\'t huge but enough space for two and extremely good on price. The staff were all really friendly but not in that overly patronising way that can sometimes happen in the USA. For us, the added bonus' were the Italian on the bottom left of the hotel and more so, the Tick Tock diner on the right of the hotel. The great thing about the diner was that it was open 24hours, ideal for those ...
...on the wrong subway and got lost in Queens! But that's a whole other story. The diner had a 'Hurley' lookalike - Lost star. I'm not sure if he knew it, but he was the friendliest chap I have ever met as well. Anyway, we got back to New York next year for our wedding, unfortunately we can't get back into the New Yorker as they are having renovations done. Do try and go at some point though. Its ideally placed for most of the sights and scenery. If ... Read review

...the revolving doors into the Ramada Plaza & Inn - New Yorker Hotel, New York City. We had expected something quite shabby as it was a last minute deal through expedia.co.uk whilst sitting in Manchester Airport waiting for our flight to arrive. (Talk about last minute).

...at a price, it ranges from $65.00 to $110.00 (£35.00/40.00 to £60.00/70.00) not too expensive they will display your name on a board, taking the hassle out of waiting for taxi's. We arrived quite late at night, the Lobby was immaculately clean, staff were well presented and very helpful. We were showed up to our room and left to settle in. The room was quite basic to be honest but was neat, tidy and clean, included was a desk and chair, hair dryer, ... Read review

Advantages: Great location, clean and tidy.
Disadvantages: A little dated, but being refurbished.

My wife and I stayed at the New Yorker Hotel between 20th - 25th May 2008. The staff were always very helpful and curtious. The room decor was a little dated, but clean and tidy. The hotel is undergoing a refurbishment, but the work was not noticeable to the guests. The "tick-tock" diner is located in the front entrance of the hotel, which was very good for breakfast, with a great service! The hotel location is great, with the subway just outside ...

Advantages: Well placed for Empire State and Madison SG, pleasant hotel
Disadvantages: looking a little tired in places

I stayed here in January 2006 for 4 nights. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children staying in a double room. The beds are slightly less than double so we had 1 child and 1 adult per bed, which obviously only works with young children. The New Yorker has had a very colourful past, with the some of the very biggest names having stayed there. Ali, stayed there in the early 70's after losing at Madison Square Garden. It has to be said though that ...
...the 70's/80's it is now looking reasonably good. The decor in the rooms and landings is looking very tired and the bathrooms are quite small, however the rooms are clean and warm with plenty of hot water and good pressure on the shower. Plenty of towels are supplied and we have no complaints. Yes I would stay again. There is a traditional New York diner downstairs - The Tick Tock Diner which is good but I believe it is relatively expensive. We ... Read review
