I am in the middle of a five-night stay, but was motivated to write my review early. Check-in was smooth. The bellhop was courteous and gave a very helpful “lay of the land” regarding the area surrounding the hotel (restaurants, parking, etc.). The best part so far though was entering the suite on the first night. The room is wonderful!... more

The team certainly looked after us! The room was amazing, so much space! And we loved the quirky plug for the bath and the postal shoot. The breakfast team were on the ball and made us feel really welcome. Each day our breakfast lived up to our expectations and my particular favourite was the stack! We went to the Waldorf... more

I stayed at this hotel for one night in a quick trip with the family to NYC. We got a corner room on the 9th floor, it had a DVD player, LCD TV, book in many languages and a good beds. Conveniently located in midtown, walking distance to all the attractions. The Roger Smith Hotel will be my first choice... more

I was nervous when I initially booked my night at the Roger Smith. The room was so inexpensive for such a great location, I expected the worst. Yet I can't say enough good things about the hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was adorable! There were so many unique touches (such as a live plant and... more

After reading all the reviews, I decided that this would be a good option for a one-night business trip with a leisure component at a reasonable price. Thought it would be like well-worn pajamas or weekend clothes -- comfortable and clean -- but it was anything but. Ever hear the expression that says "You get what you pay for?" Well,... more

I am happy to hear that the staff treated you well, but it is unfortunate that the accommodations did not satisfy you. All of these issues that you had with the room, we have made our housekeeping department aware of and they are going to...

Outstanding. From start to finish. The location. The hotel. The art. The staff - reservations, front desk, restaurant / bar, housekeeping, and everyone else. Super friendly staff ready, willing, and able to help... and they do! Not a misstep here. The rooms are well done and nicely maintained. The public areas are equally well kept. The restaurant / bar is... more

There is no place like home... When I'm in NY, this is the only place I want to stay. This boutique hotel is a gem. It's cozy warmth and friendly staff make it a home away from home. The decor is vintage chic. Comfortable, roomy and with nice warm touches. Real books on the book shelves, antiques, nice big comfy... more

Perfecto!

Roger Smith provides quality rooms with great food/drinks as well. Rooms are quiet and not over the top. Good value. Thanks Mr. Smith! more
