I just returned from four nights. I agree with the wonderful comments about Sarabeth and the quaintness of the hotel. I would like to emphasize the incredibly small size of some of the rooms (mine). If the desk chair is not completely tucked into the desk there is not room to walk to the bathroom. The bathrooms was wonderful, however,... more

I agree with all of the complementary comments about this hotel - the roof deck is great with views across the park to the reservoir and the common area for breakfast on the mezzanine was lovely with beautiful flowers. But my room - so small that it was barely large enough for a double bed. According to the floor schematic,... more

I stayed in nyc with my wife for NY marathon and I was pleased with all aspects of the hotel. I highly recommend the Wales and cannot conceive of a better place to stay while in NYC. For all of you wishing to see the marathon, it is an excellent location to see the runners go up 1st Ave. and... more

The Hotel Wales is a quaint friendly hotel close to Central park and the museums. We had a suite which I would recommend, ask for a view of the Park. The renovations are nearly complete so there was very little inconvenience. The breakfast was simple with fresh orange juice & bagels being the highlight. There is an excellent cafe right... more

Stayed here in August 2009 while helping our daughter move and found the hotel to be very clean and the staff very friendly and accomodating. We chose Hotel Wales because it is dog friendly. The rooms are small but adequate for those just wanting a place to sleep and unwind after a day in the city. Nice flat screen TV... more

My experience at the Hotel Wales was TERRIBLE!!! Upon arrival I had to wait for an unusually long time while the one staff member (who was assisting three other families first) was able to help us check in with our bags and car. Then, to my dismay, the room was extremely misrepresented online. Our room, 609, had furniture that was... more
