Okay

The hotel does not have a concierge and I needed help because of the train derailment. Reception tried to help, but are not concierges. There is no one to help in the business center, so I could not make bus reservations on line and had to go to the Port Authority to get a ticket. The bathroom was too small for one. And I was not sure they changed the bed linens every day. Good location. The hotel has an excellent car service. All in all not worth what I paid for the room.

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.

Price OK

The price was OK for midtown. Room was small, but adequate for single. It needs to be updated and was noisy as to work being performed late at night outside the hotel.

The location is excellent, and the affordable price was a huge draw. All would have been great actually if there had been any way to control the room temperature which felt roasting.
