First NYC Trip

This was my first trip to NYC and I loved everything. We were right by a subway station and everything was at the tip of our fingers. When we first arrived at 9am we were exhausted and expected our room to be ready, but the receptionist, Carolyn said there was nothing she could do and try again 6 hours LATER at 3PM!!! Luckily the manager overheard and he proceeded to upgrade us to the king sized room. Needless to say everything was great at the hotel including room service! Would recommend it again!

A Home Away from Home

This is our fourth time to stay at the Wellington. That says a great deal about how comfortable and at home we feel there, especially because of the staff, who are so friendly as to seem like family -- and they did the first time there as well as the fourth. The location of the hotel is wonderful. It is close to many restaurants in every price range imaginable. It is within walking distance of the theater district and shopping. There is a subway station practically in the lobby. And don't pass up The Park Cafe!

Carve: Wonderful pizza; great, friendly staff at 47th Street and 8th Avenue. You can get a HUGE slice of pizza and a drink for under $10. When you finish eating, walk up a block and visit Scent-a-late, a great litle shop with unique merchandise. It is on 48th Street just a few doors west of 8th Avenue.

Great location

Can't beat location for touring NY. Lobby is nice. Old school feel with bellman and safes behind the reception desk. Rooms themselves are in need of a lot of work. Very worn carpet, old fixtures, paint needs to be touched up everywhere. Staff was nice, owners should show some support and start rehabbing this place.

Great bang for your bucks

I liked the Wellington and would stay there again. Friendly and reliable staff. Great location. Only negative is there is no gym. But no problem because I got plenty of exercise walking around Manhattan.

Perfect Location, wonderful staff

I booked this hotel last minute because the price was great. The location of the Wellington is awesome, near Central Park and Times Square. We arrived at the hotel well before check in. We were able to check in although our room wasn't ready. Our awesome bell hop, Mike, took us to our room and put our luggage in the closet! We spent 4 hours out and about. When we came back to the hotel, our room was ready. We stayed in room 1010 which was newly renovated. Our room had 2 beds, tv, refrigerator, sink and microwave. It also had a small round table with two chairs. There was plenty of dresser drawers and closet space. Our view was of an alley, but that was not a big deal. The city was warm during December and our room was very stuffy. We called downstairs and asked if they could turn the heat off. 10 minutes later someone came up and told us the heat was off. We opened the windows and the room was comfortable. We also had to call down twice for extra towels and both times we received them within 15 minutes. For the amount of time we spent in our room, it was perfect. I cannot say enough about the friendliness and accommodating staff.

so-so hotel

Location is great, staff was very nice and the room size was fine.No extra's with this hotel, they charge for everything even to print a page of paper. Bathroom had mold in shower and the a/c didn't work after the first day but the bed was very comfortable and we received a free upgrade on bed size.
