My husband and I stayed one night (Saturday) at the Wingate. It is located in the Garmet District and just a couple blocks from Madison Square Gardens and Penn Station (Amtrak or buses). It's a great location if you want to do a lot of shopping! We arrived before check-in and our room was not ready, but they held our luggage. The front desk was very courteous, friendly, helpful, and referred to us by name. The room was clean and we had a room on one of the top floors (which we prefer to decrease street noise). I would recommend requesting a room NOT on an ice machine floor. The ice machine is located in the hallway next to a room (I'm sure it made it a very noisy stay for someone in that room). The free continental breakfast was a nice treat! They had hard boiled eggs, waffles, juice, coffee, bagels, fruit, yogurt...good enough to get you going in the morning. This hotel offers FREE wireless internet as well. There is a microwave and refrigerator in the rooms. We enjoyed our brief stay at the Wingate and we would recommend to others...and it was inexpensive compared to other hotels in the Manhattan area.
