New York Hotel Guide - 3 stars Hotels in New York, United States of America

wanted a Hotel as a base for first time visit to NY with Daughter for significant birthday. We were able to walk to Empire State Building 5th Avenue and Rockefeller Centre. Belvedere fitted the bill being handy for Uptown attractions and Central Park and Broadway. Easy to travel downtown either by Subway or a few blocks over by water taxi. Very easy to find places to eat with a wide range of styles and prices. Hotel has a choice of full American breakfast or continental and we opted for the continental as good choice of and variety. Reception staff very helpful and welcoming and Concierge available to point you in right direction and arrange things for you. Not surprisingly 8th and Broadway Ave very busy but that's New York and part of the attraction. Best to eat slightly early or later at lunchtime as eateries can be busy. We had good meals with great service at lunch and later in the day but be warned tipping is expected so budget for 15 to 20% on top of bill. There will be a tax on top of the advertised price also but tip should reflect the meal price and not the price plus tax! Tips tend to be given for almost any service takes a bit of getting used to but in restaurants they appeared to go out of their way to give good service.

This is a very basic accommodation without any frills, but the location can't be beat if you want to walk Manhattan from Midtown. The rooms are worn and battered, but reasonably clean--don't expect any ambience, and if you want to linger in your rooms, maybe stay elsewhere. The place is downscale, but if you'd rather spend your money on the sites, meals, and all that the city has to offer, this is a great spot. The bellmen are especially nice and helpful, and half of the front desk staff are friendly, while the other half are sullen and brusque. We sought out the more helpful staff, and this place was perfect for our budget. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and the room was quieter than expected (we were away from the street side). We didn't try the breakfast offerings.

We went to the new Rubin Museum of Himalayan art....wow This is a must see for art lovers

The room was small but clean and functional. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The location is centrally located, in a busy commercial area. This also means a lot of noise during all hours. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, although the bed much too soft (this may be an american standard?).

Good location out of the way of the main tourist district but not a great number of restaurants client - quite a hike or s taxi ride away. The bed was very small and too short for my partner.

Whenever I'm in NYC, I stay at Radio City Apartments. They are clean, convenient and reasonably priced. I really like having the kitchenette.

If you are attending an event at the Waldorf, this hotel is two blocks away and a more cost effective alternative. Very clean hotel. Room 1508 is handicap accessible with the bathroom filled with splashes of artistically placed marble. Reception staff and doormen make you feel welcome. Rather new art in the public areas and the front of the building give the place a bit of a "funky" vibe. The hotel itself is a bit dated (the elevators, for example) but this is easy to overlook for the value offered. The air conditioning works well but was a bit noisy. This was not a problem as it drowned out the street noise so I found the room quiet and comfortable. Spacious closet, in-room safe, abundant space for two people for NYC. Free yogurt, cereal and apples in the lobby.

The hotel is very well located. The staff was helpful. One of the mattresses needed replacement, but that would be our only compliant. Overall a very positive experience for a NYC hotel.

Our stay was great! Excellent central location! Good continental breakfast. Staff we experienced from the doorman who greater us and opened the door for us, front desk who was friendly, jovial and helpful, housekeeping to invisibly met our room needs and kept our room to the bartender in the bar and grill who served us graciously even when all we wanted was a glass of water, made our stay s pleasure!
