The service was very good, but the rooms are small. Because I had one child with me for only one of the two nights, I requested two beds. The only two bedded rooms are twin beds. They ended up upgrading us to a king bed, but was disappointed with the size of the room and the inability to accomodate my request for two beds. This is the first time doing hotwire that I have had that problem.

The Algonquin hotel is OLD, and they seem proud of it. The decor is all turn-of-the-century (20th) themed. For those who are into that sort of thing, it's probably a great hotel. The rooms were actually more nicely appointed than I thought they would be, although I still wouldn't write home. There was an LCD flat panel TV, probably about 32", however there was no HD programming. There was also an MP3 clock radio -- the same model you find in Hilton hotels... terrible sound, but it gets the job done. The room was very small and a little uncomfortable. All in all, I would not stay here again. However, if early 1900s decor is something you would like, then this is the place for you.

My gf and I stayed there from the end of June till July 3rd and had a great time at our stay. The staff was extremely friendly, the room was small, but what room isnt small in Manhattan right? The bed was comfortable and overall our stay was pleasant. There was some construction going on outside our window which we didnt care for but it was just bad timing. great place to stay! by the way, the clientel seemed to be an average age of mid 40's if that matters to anyone.

We just returned from a four night stay at THE ALGONQUIN in New York ... we absolutely loved it!! The room was perfect, the bed is very comfortable (heavenly) ... The hotel staff are very accomodating - we requested a fridge, and within minutes got it. Jenny (at the front desk) is very friendly. The hotel is in a great location ... everything is within walking distance. You cannot go wrong with this hotel. Don't think twice about booking your stay at the Algonquin ... rooms are great (very clean) and the noise is not bad (what city doesn't have some noise going on) ... You will NOT be disappointed if you book here!
