The Algonquin Hotel Times Square

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 02 Dec 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

The Algonquin hotel is in a class by itself. It is an old, charming, well furnished hotel, still looking as it did in the 1900s. It is clean, comfortable and in a great midtown location, near theaters, restaurants, shopping and many tourist attractions. The staff is helpful, friendly and very professional. There is also a real cat in the lobby.

Positives: The service: front desk, waiter in lobby and

Negatives: I could find nothing wrong with the Algonquin hotel.

It was a great experience staying at the Algonquin. Although the room was on the small side, it was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. And my daughters loved Matilda the cat!

Positives: Room clean, bed comfortable, towels great.

Negatives: Not entirely sure bathroom was fully cleaned before we checked in.

I was only there for a short time, but was pleased with the service and cleanliness of the room. The room was extremely small, but comfortable. Overall, a good experience.

They give you the least desirable room. For the second time, there was no hot water for the shower and the stopper in the sink was not fixed after notifying the front desk. The last review<BR/>I stated that this hotel should not be a 4 star, but downgraded to 3 stars. That way I will not get this hotel again.

Positives: Breakfast.

Negatives: No hot water in the shower.

Stay away. Run for your life. For this type of accommodation you can get much cheaper places and for what you are paying you can get decent accommodations elsewhere.
