Girlie weekend away

Great location, within walking distance of Times Square and Broadway. We had view of someones fire escape, but kept blinds closed and meant that we had no noise from traffic! Foyer is very impressive, rooms however are basic, but very clean and comfortable. Lovely clean towels everyday! Staff were very friendly and always ready to help. The muffins served in the foyer at breakfast time were delicious and lasted us through to lunch. Would definitely stay again.

Will Be Back

This was our second time staying at the Wolcott. We find it to be ideally positioned for sightseeing,eating and anything you want to do in general. The hotel is nicely decorated, and the staff are very down to earth. You can book airport transfers,tickets for shows and trips at the concierge in the hotel foyer. Tea cofee and muffins are served in the foyer at breakfast time. We have been booked into a junior suite on the two occasions we have stayed at the Wolcott and have found the accomodation to be comfortable and spacious. We will be back in N.Y. again and will have no hesitation about staying here.

IDEAL LOCATION

This hotel is a no thrills/frills hotel but is ideally based for someone who does not want to spend too much time in a room. Right next to Broadway which leads to Time Square. Macy's is round the corner for those who like to shop. Empire State Building and Madison Sq Garden is also close by. We were not expecting breakfast but got Tea/Coffee and muffins every morning. Staff were polite and very helpful throught our stay. Hotel rooms are nice and clean with air con.

You do not need to eat in expensive restuarants. NY has plenty of Deli places and also food carts dotted everywhere that serve excellent food for a fraction of a price.
