The New Yorker A Wyndham Hotel

J

I picked this hotel after looking around and feeling overwhelmed by all the choices. So happy with my pick. Fantastic location…easy to get in and out, parking( validated…. Five days of parking a large SUV just over $200) across the street, subway outside, Penn station on the next block. Walkable yo so many cool places… Time Square, Hudson Yard, Empire State, just to name a few. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Beautiful art Deco style inside the lobby, three different restaurants attached to the lobby. Our room was good size with two bathrooms which was super convenient, only complaints the beds are small and there is not fridge in the room… we were there when there was a five day straight heat wave of 90 plus. Extra space for water would have been helpful. Would recommend a stay!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our unexpected stay at this hotel. Had a late flight into JFK and our ground transportation was messed up. Booked on a discount site last minute and got a GREAT deal. Steps from Penn Station. I think some of the less positive reviews might be from people who are not familiar with how much a “normal” hotel room in a desirable location in NYC costs. I thought the room for what was paid was exceptional. Maybe I would be less enthusiastic if I paid a non-discounted rate— some rooms/hallways are a little rough around the edges - but room was clean and bed was super comfortable with nice sheets! And the service was good. Don’t miss the mini museum in the basement. The hotel has a lot of history and character.

We stayed here for just 1 night while we were in the city for a concert. I truly wish I would have been able to experience more of this hotel. Check-in was quick and easy and once we understood the flow of the hotel, it was easy enough to navigate. Our room in particular was small however was all we needed for this trip. They had probably the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a hotel and everything was very clean and tidy. I do like that they make attempts to be more environmentally friendly. This was a very busy hotel to be expected, since it is so close to Madison Square Gardens and many other attractions. It was close enough to parking options as well.

The location is great. The A,C,E train is right outside the door. This alone would make me come back. The art deco was awesome, and the room was pretty clean. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and the heater/air conditioner was so loud. What really ruined my experience was the fact that they charge for a mini fridge. I was in town for a food festival and I had tons of left overs and goodies for my family. Never in 20 years of going to hotels have I been told there was a charge for a mini fridge. Not only was there a charge for a mini fridge, the charge was a ridiculous $50 a night. Maybe the mini fridge is a solar powered super efficient fridge that was brought in by aliens -- If it is, I'm sorry for my review, but if not? Yeah, awful. I did not pay the $50, because that's ridiculous. It should come with the room if asked. Instead, I walked a block and bought a cooler for $15 and packed it full of ice. At least Wyndham doesn't charge for ice.

You really can’t beat the location, especially if you need easy access to Penn Station, as we did on this trip. We flew in around noon and went to the hotel directly from the airport. We were told that we had to come back to check-in between 3-4pm or be charged $75 for early check-in fee. So we asked to drop off our luggage so that we could head out. Only to be told it was $5 per bag just to drop off our luggage for a few hours. When we first checked in, our room had a broken air conditioner control panel and a toilet that didn’t flush. The staff promptly moved us to an "upgraded" room with a glass-door shower and a slightly larger bedroom area. However, the bathroom had no space for toiletries, so we had to bring them in and out each time we used it. On the first night, we also discovered there was no hot water. When we called the front desk, they explained it just takes a long time to heat up. They weren’t kidding. It took about 15 minutes of running the shower at full blast before the water finally warmed. The hotel is definitely in need of a full renovation, but the staff was wonderful and the location was unbeatable. One bright spot: the beds, though small, were incredibly comfortable. We all slept like the dead. Disclaimer: Overall rating is a 4 from me but this is probably due to the upgraded room that we had. Had we been in the original category room, the rating would probably be lower.
