I stayed here when I was in town to run the NYC Marathon. This was one of the nicer places that I've stayed at in Manhattan. I was able to get a unit while using my Wyndham Rewards points to cover the 3 night stay. It's located on 1st Ave, near the East River and just north of the United Nations Headquarters. The check-in process was quick and easy. After the necessary paperwork was done, I was given keys to the unit. I hopped on one of the three elevators. I believe the middle one only goes up to the Ophelia Lounge on the 26th floor which I did not visit during my short stay. The staff at the front desk was always very nice and friendly. Although my unit did come with a kitchen, there were plenty of dining options all within walking distance for those that don't want to cook while on vacation. I found everything in my unit to be clean and in good working condition. I was able to easily get to wherever I needed to go for the marathon. I wouldn't mind staying here again for any future visits to NYC.

No hot water day...

In the words of the front counter staff, "...stay somewhere else then!" One would think for the money one pays to stay here that one would be treated with at least a little courtesy and the place have some decent accommodations. The unit our family stayed in was decent and clean. The toilet seat cracked after simply lifting it up. We asked for more sheets and towels and were met with utter rudeness and "i don't even know where any of things are" and were told we need to ask before 5. The morning after we checked in, there was no hot water for the kids to take a shower. The free breakfast was pathetic (see photos). There's a reason why this place has a low rating. Be warned. It's sad we have to post a review like this but its what the Yelp community is all about. Helping other Yelpers...

Gap between the entrance door and the floor

The staff deserves 5 stars, but overall it is poorly maintained property, if you are renting one bedroom be prepared to sleep on a full size bed. The mattress needed to be replaced a couple of years ago. If you have a child and need a rollaway do not waste your time on it, it is terrible quality. We ended up going to target and purchasing an air mattress. The heater is making very loud clicking noises that wakes you up in the middle of the night . When we asked about it we were told that it is a know issue and nothing could be done about it. One of the evenings our unit smelled of cigarette smoke, it was coming through our kitchen vent. When hotel staff could not figure out where it was coming from we asked for the vent to be covered with plastic. I was expecting that someone will check with me in the morning if the issue was resolved but nobody even bothered to ask. Overall I would not recommend anybody spending their money here, this is not the place to be comfortable in.

I like the Beekman tower hotel bar, its an art deco masterpiece. The bar is small and only seats four, and the small terraces are also small, but there are more tables indoors though too. Drinks are on the pricey side, and staff could be quite a bit more pleasant. Its a bit out of the way though, and unless you are staying at the hotel, there really isn't a whole lot of reason to seek this place out, so it remains a quiet little gem that doesn't get the bridge and tunnel crowd.

Do not go there! Probably dangerous. The water from the taps is brown. I have images of such!

It was not noisy and we had no complaints. Our suite was so spacious and there was so much space for our toddler to run around. She loved building a fort with the sofa cushions. We loved our spacious dining table. We requested for a microwave and they brought one up. They have a Toto toilet which made us soooo happy. They have black out curtains so we had good sleep. Their mini fridge is spacious and they gave us 8 waters. We got to watch people working across the street. They had a business center in the lobby, you just have to ask the reception area and they will set up the keyboard and mouse. It was a very nice stay, definitely recommend. Staff was friendly and very responsive in the app. Will stay again.

The bed was actually really comfy for a hotel bed. We loved the Toto bidet toilet and the huge walk-in shower. The TV was gigantic. Big closet for extra storage. The under bed storage was great too. The black out automatic curtains were super cool. The fridge was spacious and there was a coffee maker too. The only thing that was weird were the light switches. There were 2 different switches and it was confusing to figure out what controlled what. The staff were very friendly. They were able to get us into our room early and they let us check out late. They always greeted us when we got back to the hotel room throughout the day. Plenty of food options nearby. Would absolutely stay here next time we're in NYC.

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. Overall the hotel is decent -- our room was new and…read moreclean, though like pretty much every hotel in Manhattan, it's on the smaller side. One thing to note: the hotel sits right above a sports bar, so it can get noisy when there's a game on. The gym was a low point. The hotel shares its fitness facility with a Planet Fitness, which feels out of place for a mid-tier Marriott -- not quite what you'd expect from the brand.

Prime location! Modern, spacious rooms (for the city)!…read more The elevators though.... Oy. I stayed at this hotel over the New Years holiday and was thrilled to be so close to Madison Square Garden and Times Square. As was expected, check in was a bit chaotic given the time of year. The ground floor entrance was PACKED with luggage on first arrival. After weaving our way through, we located the check-in desk on the 5th or 6th floor. Tons of people but adequate seating to wait for our room to be ready. An upper floor meant having to figure out their dreaded elevator system. It left something to be desired, to say the least. With only 3 elevators that service the whole of the hotel, and a 4th that goes who knows where, it was almost always a lengthy struggle to catch one. No buttons on the interior of the carriage, all elevators were called with a touchscreen device that seemingly tried to pack as many people as possible into one small space, leaving many behind that couldn't fit, before directing the passengers to another elevator to repeat the whole process over again. One day was so bad, it was actually preferable to walk up the stairs to the 14th floor. Woof. The room itself was wonderful. Spacious, with 2 beds. Very clean. Beautiful view of the city and the arena next door. Great way to catch the sun set. Walk in shower with both an overhead and handheld shower attachment. Great lighting. Shower had heavily frosted glass that faced the bedroom area so be prepared for your silhouette to be on full display for anyone you may be rooming with. Nice sized closet, safe, and mini fridge. Big flat screen television. Window shade worked very well to block out the light if you're hoping to sleep in late. Walls can be a bit thin, especially if you have a rowdy bunch of kids right next door as we did. Aside from the elevators, the perks far outweighed the usual peskier elements (e.g., noise,etc.) one encounters when staying away from home. Would stay here again, perhaps during a less busy time of year, if that's even possible.

As a librarian, you know I had to stay here…read more I went in fully expecting a fun, book-themed hotel and secretly wondering if it might be a little gimmicky. I was so happy to be wrong. The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team. I arrived by car while the building was hidden behind scaffolding, and the front desk was incredibly kind and patient, helping guide me to the loading area so I didn't spend my afternoon circling the block. Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem. Not a second of lag. The TV also had a ton of premium channels, which was such a fun surprise after long days exploring the city. And finally, a standing ovation for the real MVP: the air conditioning. New York was basically a sauna while I was there, and every time I walked back into my room I was greeted by the most glorious arctic blast. It was so good that my friends ended up wanting to hang out in my room and order dinner instead of going back out into the heat. Perfect stay from beginning to end. I can't wait to come back.

I was excited to stay here anyway, because of course it was on my bucket list, but the stay was so…read morequiet and lovely that I am blown away. I got a petite room since I was traveling alone which I would not recommend for a couple, but for me it was perfect. The bathroom area was the best part and not at all an afterthought. They knew women would be coming and they nailed it, down to the magnifying mirror. Whenever you get to spend time with other book lovers, it's a plus, so I also very much loved being able to talk to people in the common room on the 2nd floor. Often times NYC misses this in their hotels. The books here aren't anything you really want to read so bring your own books but all in all 5+ stars for me!

All the meeting rooms were clean and organized. We had over 1,000 conference attendees and needed ample space and everything went pretty smoothly. Temperature control was generally good, but got a tiny bit chilly at certain points of the day. The staff were extremely prompt with setting up and removing catering food, but were not the friendliest. They have a free standing pumping station for those that need it. It was easy to access and decently clean, but could've used a wipe down by the second day. They provided a mini fridge in one of the meeting rooms for storage.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! DO NOT BOOK HERE!…read more I came here around April for a work trip and no where on the reservation page did it say that the hotel was under construction. They also offered the price including breakfast. Arrived at the hotel and saw that they only had one working elevator for a hotel that was over 20 floors high. There was a line for the elevator that you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to take. I asked the about the breakfast and they said the restaurant was closed so no hot breakfast. Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
