Town of Beekman Holidays from NZ$17,864

very nice design. front desk kindly waived the early check in fee, I was able to get my room at 12pm. room was very clean and bathroom was spotless. excellent size for nyc. the view from my room (20th floor) was excellent. The staff were very kind, especially the bell man Syed. The area around the hotel is not that exciting, and has a real lack of places to eat that are open late in the surrounding blocks (only chains and one place nearby). Sidewlk is closed on the corner of Lexington Ave, so it required walking through an enclosed detour which was not ideal, being a solo female. But hotel is walking distance to shopping on 5th Ave, etc.

My wife and I live in Connecticut. This is our go-to hotel when we have to attend a function in Manhattan (rather than driving back). It is superb and has excellent suites at reasonable prices.

Great base to discover New York

Overall it is a nice upscale hotel with good size rooms and nice views, if the room is on higher floors. The rooms need to be renovated. Shower stall leaked due to poor seals next to the wall enclosure. I expect a lot more for a 5-star hotel at the exorbitant prices that they charge. Do not eat at the restaurants in this hotel. The food is less than average and overpriced. Service is not good and they automatically add a minimum of 18% service charge regardless of the size of your party or the service they provide.
