Wolcott Hotel

Dated hotel was charming. That said, the room near the elevator is smaller than the other rooms on the floor. Bathroom sink was the tiniest I've ever seen; difficult to use. Water temp. in shower hard to control (either boiling hot or fridged cold.). Maids were friendly. Front desk staff never asked how my room was; seems they do not care. The breakfast was charming.......get there early to avoid the crowds. Hotel centrally located. Easy walk to everywhere.

Located two blocks from the Empire State building and walking distance to Penn Station, Grand Central Station and even Central Park ( Hotel is about 1.5 miles south of the Park.) We even walked to Times Square! The Junior Suite was just like the pictures. Pleanty of space in the bathroom and clean. Bed was comfortable and air conditioners worked great. No problem with noise. Staff were very helpful and polite.

We have stayed at this hotel at least 6 times now and the staff at the front desk is really hit or miss. Typically upon checking in from an all night flight we have had historically a grumpy person at the front desk ~ the hotel management needs to work on that. The bathroom on this particular stay was less than desirable and only one person could be in the room at once and you had to watch yourself and not hit your head on the sink when using the toilet. It seems that they got the coat closet and the bathroom measurements mixed up. You also had less than a foot between the bed and TV, therefore had to clomb over the bed to get to the other side of the room.

it was a little far to walk to times square but other than that it was all good

You can't beat the location of this hotel--it's just around the corner from the Empire State Building, and it's within walking distance of Times Square. I found the location to be particularly convenient due to its proximity to so many subway stations. Can't beat it for the price. We've stayed at the Wolcott before, and we'll stay there again.

The hallways stunk literally. The ac in the room was old,, and I came down with allergys that ended me up almost in ER before leaving. I would sneeze when in the room,, and eventually came down with closed ears,, and very swollen throat. Water puddled in the tub shower window. Otherwise the bed was very comfy. I have stayed in many other hotels for same price with much better quality.

Excellent location!

Very close to Empire State Building. Long walk to Times Square. Safe neighborhood - felt comfortable as lone female walking around at night. Annoyed that had to pay extra for internet to work in room. Co-worker's room didn't even have a desk - had to work on the bed! Nice to have muffins and coffee in the morning, but everyone sat around in the regular lobby chairs balancing plates and cups on their laps trying to eat - would be nice to have an actual eating area with tables, or at least more coffee/end tables. Room decor rather tired and worn, window sill tile grout in shower had black mildew. Teeny slow elevators. Staff didn't seem very happy to be there at all. But overall everything just OK for the price.

Visit was for a wedding. The bathroom was filthy and I could not sit on the toilet because the 4 inch sink was in my lap! I will be much pickier when I book another hotel through a service. The only convenience was the location and even there I could have done better.

Great location, loved being so close to the empire state building
