I stayed at the Hotel Wales and had a fantastic time! Hotel Wales is located on the Upper East Side; it’s a safe location for a “girl’s weekend” and right next to all the wonderful museums. The hotel is beautiful now that they have completed their renovations. The hotel is designed in a tasteful palette of taupes and black.
We had a corner suite and enjoyed looking out onto Madison Ave. It was breathtaking. Don’t be shy about staying in the smaller rooms, too. There’s too many positive features about this hotel to shy away from staying here. It’s a great deal: you’ll get to stay in a quaint hotel in a fantastic location and breakfast will be included.
The desk clerks were friendly and helpful. I loved the boutique atmosphere of the hotel, and the Upper East Side location made it convenient to walk the Met and Neue museums. It’s also easy to get to Greenwich Village and Soho by catching the subway a few blocks away on Lexington which runs north and south along Manhattan.
I can't wait to visit again. Our stay was a "10"! « less

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, this is the tiniest room I have every stayed in and just barely can squeeze in a queen size bed. The hanging clothes space is only adequate for one person. I had both windows open all the way and the room was still too warm to sleep in November from the eighth floor. « less

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, it was the smallest room on the floor so my only caveat about this hotel is to careful about the size of your room! « less

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 back down central park. « less
