The room was a little claustrophobic and lacking in appealing decor. A large mirror to reflect light and the small window, some art on the large stark tv wall and replacing the menacing portrait of a man above the bed with something more appealing would improve the room a lot. But the vanity area, closet, and bathroom were nice. I’ve found this hotel to be overpriced compared to others in the area. Especially considering it doesn’t have a restaurant or bar other than the buffet breakfast area. There are other hotels at this price point with more amenities and larger rooms.

My wife caught the flu before arriving, so she spent her stay in bed. The room was very comfortable, and the HVAC was terrific. Our only wish was that the bedsheets were fitted.

The positives: Staff are very nice, kind and helpful. They are the most valuable part of my experience with this hotel. Room was clean and well conditioned for this relatively cold season. Concerns; This hotel is not accessible; from entry to the corridors to the rooms and bathrooms. I f you are physically challenged like me you would not have a comfortable stay here. Hotel staff did their best to accommodate me by providing shower seat, but their kindness and assistance can not replace the lack of hotel Owners/Managers obligation to provide accessible accommodation for all

We have stayed at this hotel previously and booked a superior ( more costly) room for this stay, although it was a top floor room, it was disappointingly small, with the beverage refrigerator sitting in the middle of the room There’s no longer a full service restaurant, where we had enjoyed nice service on previous stays. It’s now a “cold “ self service buffet of bagels and yogurt in a small, crowded space. The room was clean and well stocked with towels, but no in room coffee or water, etc A friend mentioned the hotel is under new ownership- maybe that’s the explanation. A good location near the park but we may look for another “favorite spot”

I travel to NYC a few times per year to see jazz shows at the Bluenote & the Village Vanguard. I primarily stay at the Washington Square Hotel due to it's great location. It is within a few blocks of the clubs. The neighborhood is fantastic with plenty of terrific restaurants, etc., nearby. As for the hotel, the price is fair & the staff very nice. It is a solid mid-tier hotel. It is by no means luxury, nor is it a dump. It is a clean, well located, reliable, decent place to stay. Pros: Great location, friendly staff, excellent water pressure, breakfast included (haven't tried it), good wi-fi. Cons: Very small rooms, very firm beds, small flat-screen TV wedged up in the corner of the ceiling (plenty of channels though) no mini-fridge, a little noisy, It's hard to beat if you need to be in the area and don't want to spend a fortune. All in all an excellent situation for basic accommodations. Note: When I was there last, I mentioned the rock hard mattress & no mini-fridge & they said next time to ask for a softer bed and a room with a mini-fridge (they obviously must exist) btw, Must go: Waverly Diner & Joe's Pizza a couple of blocks away. .
