what happened

i've stayed here many times in the past. never again. shower curtain too short-"flooding" bathroom floor. the overall appearance is one of sloppiness, chipped paint, stains on wallpaper, a loose access panel inthe bathroom, etc. way overpriced for this experience. and what's your problem-a nickname is a nickname is a nickname?

Bait and switch with Wellington

I arrived at 5:15 on Friday afternoon and was told that they had overbooked the hotel and they did not have a room for me . I would have to stay at the hotel across the street. I told them I had made reservations with relative at the Wellington and we would prefer to be together . They said they could not accommodate me but I would be upgraded to a nicer room at the new hotel. When I arrived across the street they said they could not give me an upgrade. I was not impressed and would recommend you stay elsewhere.

two kind employees

Wellington Hotel was just ok. Out of all the employees I had contact with only two were kind-Frank the bellman and the woman who answered the receptionist phone on Sunday morning (4/28 at 10 a.m.). All others seem to be above us 'commoners' staying there. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure great, but the room is old school. As a runner though, Central Park right next door was ideal.

Worth it to walk to theater district if the weather is good, rather than taxi.

Lovely location

A short walk to Central Park and Times Square. $35 per 24 hours valet parking. Surrounded by delis, restaurants, fabulous tacky gift shops. Windows not sound-proofed so you can hear traffic from the lower floors (arguably part of the NY experience). Rooms varied, we had 2, one was huge, 2 bed/1 bathroom, gorgeous and had a fridge and seating area (great for a family); other had 2 beds, 2 baths, smallish. Comfy beds.
