This hotel seems to get slammed by folks who don't understand NYC or choose not to. Yes, the rooms are small. Most rooms only have showers. There's only one small, slow elevator. The TV is tiny. And the restaraunt doesn't exist. But you know what, I don't go to NYC to be a troll in my hotel room. I want... more

Decent quality/price ratio. Small very basic room with basically no proper window, but clean. Big problem the air conditioning. It's just too noisy to keep it on during the night. Not a big issue until temperatures raise too much in july-august... more

This was probably the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. It was literally one step above a transient hotel. Rooms were small, but that didn't bother me. It was that the place was so dark and dirty. Was to stay there for 4 nights, but checked out after one night and went to the Paramount. Sure it was... more

Checked in for a week to find an apartment in the city. Rate was good, room was predictably small but comfortable, restaurant was under renovation, elevator was under repair but was operational by the time I left. When I returned to LA, I found that my credit card had been charged twice for the room; hotel staff said that they... more

The rooms are painfully small. If you are looking for some place modern this is not for you. It was pretty clean. If your not planning on spending the whole day in your room it is ok. we just needed a place to get a couple hours of sleep. the price is ok for new york i guess. But i... more

After deciding that very morning to go to NYC for a long weekend that evening, found this hotel on an internet search site. Had never heard of it before, but their website and reviews seemed reputable. Reservation made with front desk staff on 1-800 line. Ended up being billed for a lower rate than what I had been quoted on... more

I stayed at the Mayfair in celebration of my birthday. I was mislead about the size of the rooms. I asked for a king and was dropped down to a full. They then attempted to charge me full price. With some complainin and running around from manager to manger the price was reduced. One of the employees was even drinking... more

We have stayed at this hotel on our annual girls trip for the last two years, and just made reservations for our stay this June. The staff is excellent, the rooms clean, and the location is in walking distance of everything we need. Can't wait to stay again. more

We stayed at the Mayfair for five days over the Thanksgiving holiday, when we met up with our kids and extended family. We couldn't have found better, more affordable lodgings for our needs. No, the rooms are not large; think old-school dorm room. So what? You're in NEW YORK CITY -- get out and see the city, people! For us... more

There were no amenities...the rooms were so small it was hard for 2 people to walk around at the same time. The whole appearance was shabby. The internet service did not work, The... more
