We bid on Priceline and got this hotel and were pleasantly surprised. We ended up paying about $150 for this 4 star hotel. Rooms were kind of small, but that is expected. They were clean, cozy and staff was friendly. Very helpful with our bags. The lounge is AWESOME. Would have been a great place to get a drink if... More

It may be as it was in the days of the Round Table, but it's fun to have tea in the lobby or dine in one of the restaurants at this old, historical grande dame. More

This is one of the oldest continually operating hotels in NYC. While the lobby is terrific, the rooms are very small and offer few amenities. It is part of the Marriott Autograph collection, so we stayed here on points. I feel certain I would not pay their asking price. But, the staff is wonderful and helpful. More

Stayed at the Club Quarters which shares the same block with Algonquin, so perfect fora stroll around 5th to enjoy a previously reserved Jazz Supper club evening. The performed that night, has been with the Algonquin at Christmas time for many years and knew well how to engage the audience and a cabaret experience. Dinner was very good, with a... More

This hotel had a bed and breakfast feel even though it was in NYC. There is a diner a few doors down that is great for a hardly breakfast. Very unique, there is even a famous cat who sits on the front desk who has even been featured on the cover of a famous magazine and the wall paper in... More

We got a good rate on this hotel through priceline and so I assume we got a standard room. It was small which is to be expected in NYC. It was comfortable enough and we didn't feel cramped. The bathroom was of a decent size with lots of elbow room. The beds are a little soft but maybe great for... More

Conveniently located near times square, you can easily walk to Broadway and central park. The room is small and the furnishing is just not up to Marriott standard. The staffs did not recognize the gold status ( such as free local call or breakfast) but fixed the problem when reminded. The free continental breakfast is passable but you are allowed... More

I stayed in this hotel in September 2010. It was clean and tidy, and in a fabulous location to see the major tourist attractions of Central Manhattan. By American standards, though, the room was pretty small. My only other criticism was the staff were constantly 'expecting' tips for everything. If you exit the front, and turn right for a few...

The Unique and Special decor; the blend of Traditional and High Tech, the relaxed yet dignified lobby for a drink AND the exceptional, friendly, attentive and intelligent Service folks, from front door, front desk, wait staff, etc All combined to make this an exceptional and wonderful hotel stay in NYC.
