The bad reviews featured by other hotel patrons are understandable when you consider it is an old hotel with few amenities. It certainly wasn't worth the money considering the lack of services, horrible cleanliness, and poor hospitality. I was unfortunate to get a room that smelled of curry spice that seeped into the room thru the vents from the Indian... more

This hotel is clean and conveniently located for many of the sights. Although dated, its not shabby and most importantly is well maintained. The breakfast is a bit of a bun fight with pastries and muffins, juice and coffee available for guests to take to their rooms, however we opted for the small cafe on the corner which provides excellent... more

I stayed at the Helmsley Middletowne for one night on a business trip. It was booked under a corporate travel contract and was a backup to the hotel the company usually uses. The property overall is quite dilapidated, with peeling paint, aging carpets, the oldest TV I have seen in a hotel in many years, etc. The room was clean... more

I was very pleasantly surprised... more

We were recommended this Hotel and we were not disappointed. The accommodation although a bit dated was more than adequate. The room we had was huge and the bed was massive. It was very comfortable which was just what the doctor ordered after a full day pounding the streets of Manhattan. The staff were all very friendly and polite with... more

After reading decidedly mixed reviews on this property I went ahead and booked a King room based on the quoted price of $300/night. We were pleasantly surprised at our overall experience. For starts, our King room turned out to be a huge room with a large separate seating area with love seat and 2 chairs, really more a like a... more
