At first glance this hotel has charm. And I really want to be positive but, upon a closer look and more time spent in the room, it's simply in need of a real update. Stains on the chairs, stains on the tile. The upholstery and wall paper and tiles all seem very dingy. In the bathrooms there is little space... More

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. Some of the staff members were very nice as well, but others acted as if you were bothering them when you asked a question. When we walked into our double double room #309, we saw that the carpet in the tiny hall is threadbare. I accidentally rubbed up against the... More

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

On our first stay in New York the Roger Smith was a great choice. The room was spacious and comfortable and gave us a home from home for 10 days. The service was not only excellent but friendly and helpful. Although not having a restaurant, the hotel provided cereals and joghurt on a help-yourself. basis in the lobby and a... More

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
