This was the only place I could get last minute, and I regretted it. Room was tiny and gross, bathroom was small, the place was just old in general and needs a full tune up. Gym was tiny too. As a last resort, maybe, but otherwise stay away.

Yes, it's true, I only stayed here the first time because of Dorothy Parker. But, then I grew to love this hotel for its own dear self. Superb location, lovely atmosphere, great special rates and a nice spot for gals like me who prefer to travel alone. I also tend to judge a hotel based on the quality of its room service cheeseburger. This one was top-rate.

Stayed at the Algonquin last week and found it to be warm, "cozy" and the perfect location.
The bed was comfortable and the room was fresh and clean. The staff was exceptional and very friendly, I stayed there a few years ago and found it to be a little cold.
Loved the workout area, I wasn't expecting much because the rooms are SO small but that was a pleasant surprise. If the rooms were larger I'd stay with my husband on our next trip. On second thought perhaps I'll ask for a larger room

Any history that this once beautiful Hotel had has been literally ripped out during the renovation. If you visit this hotel now, what you will never know is that it had an outstanding wooden interior that exuded old New York. One could feel the presence of the early 20th century writers that congregated at the famous Round Table, now gone. Their spirits walked out the door in disgust as they saw their world was taken over by cold blue neon lights, glass, lacquer and black leather. No more cabaret. History has been wiped out at the Algonquin. The only sign of its history that you will see is the bill that you get because you will be paying for what it cost to get rid of it.
