Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

Part of the very fabric of Midtown Manhattan, this Art Deco attraction is proudly capped with the red ‘New Yorker’ sign that’s made it a landmark in the city skyline. Inside its iconic 1929 shell, this Jazz Age hotel’s held on to its heritage. Its top location, just a block from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, means you’re well placed for attractions like Macy’s, Times Square and the Empire State Building. And it doesn’t matter what time you finish exploring, its 24-hour Tick Tock Diner will give you a taste of New York with American comfort food classics like burgers and all-day breakfasts. If you fancy something a little more upmarket, the New Yorker’s Trattoria Bianca comes with an oyster bar.

Great hotel let down by The computer upgrade. Random charge of over 700 pounds added to my credit card, and now two other charges. Repeated trips to reception, still no resolution. Saw another guest with same issue, 900 pounds added to her credit card bill. Check your credit card statement. This has tainted an otherwise great trip.

The location is great - just a block away from Penn Station / Moynihan Train Hall. Subway access on same block. I stayed for a convention at Javits which is only a few blocks away.

The location is great - just a block away from Penn Station / Moynihan Train Hall. Subway access on same block. I stayed for a convention at Javits which is only a few blocks away. Plenty of low cost dining options within a five minute walk like McDonalds, White Castle, Jimmy Johns, CVS... Outside of a few beggars the area is very walkable, in fact, I walked around for blocks and blocks late into the evening and never had any issues with feeling unsafe. Then again I am built like a linebacker. The hotel is old but kept up. The rooms are small, but that is expected in midtown Manhattan. I stayed in a "basic" room which gave me all I needed, including a desk and chair for working on my laptop. Speaking of the laptop - major internet issues here. And they KNOW IT. When I first checked into my room I could not get online - there was an issue with the WAP not pulling an IP, so I went down to the front desk, mentioned that their "resort fee" included internet, and I needed it to remote in for work, and they moved me to a different room that "may or may not have wifi issues". I was able to get online 80 percent of the time in my new room. Original room had a view of MSG, new room had a view of other rooms at the hotel. The staff were pleasant. The entire place was clean. As a proper geek I needed to find Nicola Tesla's room... Read less

Guest service was excellent. I arrived late, around 9 PM, and there was a long line at the check-in counter.

Guest service was excellent. I arrived late, around 9 PM, and there was a long line at the check-in counter. Even though I had been traveling all day and waited over 25 minutes to get my key, the interaction with the employee completely changed my mood. I don’t remember her name, but she was a Latina lady — warm, friendly, and professional. The room was extremely small, but very clean and well maintained. The hotel itself feels quite old. I had breakfast the next morning, and once again, the service was fast and the staff were very attentive. Read less
