We stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and basic dishes. The bathroom was clean and everything worked well. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the continental breakfast included a waffle machine, toast, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh fruit. We would definitely stay here again.

We chose the Mayflower because of its proximity to the Masonic Auditorium, where we were going to a concert. It’s only a block and a half away, although seemingly 1,000 feet in elevation. While the Mayflower is a very old property, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the staff was very nice. The breakfast was what one expects from a free hotel breakfast. It was “fine”. Free parking is also a big plus IF you can get your vehicle into and out of the tightest tunnel I have ever experienced. I have a Mazda 6 and it barely fit, and I mean barely. But they are very upfront about it so just know that if you have anything larger than a Mazda 6, forget about it. One other issue I’ll mention are the electronic keys. We had multiple issues with them, but again the staff responded quickly and made it work. Overall this was an incredible find and if there’s another concert at the Masonic that we want to enjoy, we would stay there again in a minute. With the caveats mentioned above, I give the Mayflower a very positive recommendation.

Near Union Square, central and easy to walk, transit or taxi. Hotel is charming and old fashioned, love the gated elevators, hand paintings on the walls and the window shutters. Staff are polite, helpful and friendly. My room was spacious and had microwave, small refrigerator, and hair dryer. There are lots of restaurants and markets nearby. Breakfast includes make your own waffles, several breads, hot and cold cereal, boiled eggs, fruit, juice, tea and coffee. I will definitely stay here again.

staff is nice, but the accommodations are horrible. The hotel has a terrible smell and is unbelievably outdated! No coffee machine in the rooms or air-conditioning. The heater is a unit built into the wall. I would highly recommend not staying.

I mean, it is what it is. The staff are absolutely brilliant. The rooms are shabby but I think that’s the charm. The breakfast is wonderful - I’ve seen some folk not enamoured with the breakfast but who doesn’t love waffles and toast. There’s boiled eggs and fruit also, plus cereal, coffee, tea and porridge. I was at the front of the building and noticed from the reviews it could be noisy. I brought ear plugs and slept so well on the comfiest mattress in the world.
