My daughter was trying out for America's got talent, so we needed a hotel close by. I had no idea where to stay because neither one of us were ever in New York City. I booked the room at the New Yorker because of the location and prayed it would at least be clean. Right before I booked the hotel,... more

The only nice thing about the New Yorker was the hotel lobby. Once you get past the glamorous lobby it pretty much turns into a run down motel. I rented a suite, for about $200 a night, the room was a pretty big size. Unfortunately, the size had no relation to the quality of the room. The sheets were clean,... more

I stayed at the New Yorker for a couple of nights. The overall experience was not too bad but only because of the location of the hotel. The subway is really close, and it is quite safe to walk around the hotel. The hotel itself was great looking from the outside, but on the inside it was quite old and... more

My school (I'm a teacher) booked this room because it's close to the Convention Center and I just went. I am a former Manhattanite and knew the location was good, but knew absolutely nothing about the hotel except for its recognizable exterior. It dates to the Art Deco era and is presently under renovation. I shared a room with a... more

I needed to stay at this hotel for a conference. It was the kind of place where you didn't want to touch anything because of the filth. The carpet felt greasy. The bed sheets had holes in them. The bathroom surfaces were sticky. I know they are going through some renovation and I can understand if the carpet or drape... more

Just got back from the New Yorker Hotel. I'm a Midwestern girl who'd never been to the City that Never Sleeps before this trip. I traveled with my friend, who was celebrating her 40th birthday. Price: $269 for Thursday night and Sunday night / $299 for Friday/Saturday night (10/04/07-10/08/07) for a suite (bedroom and separate living room, one queen sized... more

We stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon at it is a pretty reasonable hotel in a very good location of new york. Couple of blocks away from the empire states building. The hotel was getting a complete overall when we were there so it's difficult to say what this will be like when it's finished - or... more

I have stayed in NY many times at various hotels. In my opinion, this is expensive, for what you get, even in New York. They are updating this hotel, so maybe in by 2008 it will be different, but right now expect dirty, two star hotel. It is decently located. Stay here only if you have an appreciation for a... more

The New Yorker was to put it simply, a shabby experience. From the outside signs with paint peeling to the interior old and grubby carpets. The lobby was impressive with beautiful decor, if you ignore the carpets and slightly dated chairs. The reception staff were too busy to be friendly, but were helpful...cleaning crew were always polite and friendly, as... more

I went to New York City for the first time last april. When we first arrived from Boston on the train we arrived and the hotel looked great from the outside, but as we checked in and were taken into the room we were incredibly disappointed. Our room was very unclean, and some broken glass was in the bathroom, there... more
