Whenever we come to New York City we always stay at the Roger Smith. The friendly staff and excellent location make it a perfect place to stay. When we travel we like to stay in boutique hotels and this hotel offers much of the same ambience. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms provides all of the necessary toiletries.... More

Can’t really complain about the location. Midtown. Near Grand Central and subway. But then there are many hotels in midtown. This is obviously an old hotel that is trying to keep hold of some character , history and old idiosyncrasies of NYC . I’m taking it was a family owned and they are not going to sell to the likes...

This is where the great artists all stay. It's a gem. Close to trains and the United Nations, the Roger Smith Hotel is my favorite place to stay. Great value, friendly staff, comfortable rooms. I would highly recommend to all friends.

This hotel though located in a nice area but all fixtures and furnitures are old. It also appeared to be not taken care of simple things, which every hotel should look for.

Whether I am pounding the pavements from lower west side to upper east or doing the rounds of the galleries and museums I am always pleased to get back to the Roger Smith! Being perfectly located on the corner of Lexington and 47th and just near Grand Central (with the best gourmet market) it is always a welcoming relief to... More

This place was awesome! A hidden gem among other named places in the area. I was in New York for the weekend as a last minute trip. From the outside I was a bit skeptical, but when I walked into my room I knew I had found the perfect place. The only downside was that I was not staying longer.... More

A recent trip to NJ was bookended by two nights in NYC, coincidentally in two hotels only a block apart on Lexington Ave - and the difference between the two couldn't be more stark. On the upside was the Roger Smith hotel. Friendly staff, funky rooms, free yogurt and granola for breakfast, free bag storage, decent in-room coffee, and an... More
