Temperature

The rooms are not separately controlled with the heat/air conditioner. Our room was unbearably hot. We almost had to sleep with the door open to the hall.

Great Location!

We traveled to New York State for a wedding, coming into New York Sunday, staying at the Wellington Sunday thru Thursday, then coming back into town and staying again on Sunday before flying out Monday am. The bell staff suggested and arranged for some of our luggage to stay at the hotel while we traveled north for the wedding, arranged for all of our transportation (nice!)and offered helpful site-seeing suggestions. The room was always spotless and dining was nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel to all my friends, it made our visit most enjoyable.

Fantastic hotel!

The hotel was great! When we arrived, the bedlight wasn't working, so we called the reception, and they came within 5 minutes! Everything looked great, they were cleaning the room every day. As for the location, it coudn't get any better. 10 minutes to times square, 5 minutes to central park, 5 minutes to 5th avenue! We really enjoyed our stay here!

Perfect family venu + great location!

I really loved this hotel! Great location & economically priced for families. Very close to Time Square, the subway & bus. We had 4 in a room, and the unbelievable part is that this room had two full baths and there was a partition wall between the two comfy beds for added privacy. That was a real plus! And a large flat screen TV. This was my 6th visit to NY. I would highly recommend this hotel.
