Excellent location and comfortable dog friendly furnished apartment. Comfortable and quiet rooms, especially for Manhattan. The tower is nestled in a quiet nook right by the embassies but minutes from all the restaurants and all that Midtown and UES has to offer. Free laundry and coffee/tea. Helpful, friendly, yet non intrusive staff. Excellent energetic rooftop bar with delicious food. Simply updated with modern decor in an old charming Art Deco building. Great value. read more

I was having some work done on my place and needed to find a reasonably priced long term rental. The apartment I was put up in was very large and even had a kitchen, both of which are rare for hotels in New York. I could tell it was just renovated and very clean. There was a gym in the building which was also a serious perk for me. The staff was very friendly and I'd for sure recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in New York City. read more

I've stayed here a couple times on someone else's dime, so I can't judge very critically, but the place is nice. It's not the Ritz, but it's nice. The suites are a little funkily shaped and honestly, some of them are a little shabbily furnished. Still, it's a great location and the views can be great. I found weird trash under the bed (sippee cup, Ipod case, mint wrappers) and a vibrating penis wring in a drawer. I guess if it's not in plain sight, the maids don't expect you to see it either. Oh, and the pay per view didn't work in the bedroom. I don't typically get movies, but like I said, someone else's dime. And someone else's penis ring... read more

Fully renovated apartments in a historic building. The units are spacious, updated and well furnished by Bridgestreet who have taken over mgmt in recent years. We had a huge 2 bedroom corner unit with small kitchen, 2.5 baths, living room and dining room (rare in NYC---this could have easily been the equivalent of 2 normal sized 2 bdroom apts) and amazing views of the skyline and river that mesmerized even my kids. There is a corner grocery nearby where you can easily stock the fridge. Kitchen includes dishwasher, stove, oven, all dishware, cookware, utensils, glassware you could need. One bedroom had a queen and the other had 2 twin beds. Wifi and cable are included with TVs in each bedroom. Laundry onsite. 24 hr door staff are super friendly and welcoming. read more

In my opinion, you should find the worst review on yelp for this hotel and that would be the most accurate one. Booked this hotel for a Saturday night on priceline. Knowing we didn't want to spend a lot for a room for 1 night in the city, we were fine staying at a middle of the road hotel. We ended up getting the room for $200. While the staff was pleasant, the room was disgusting. I found a half dead bug in the shower, a toothpaste cap down the drain, and spit stains in the sink. Against my better judgement I looked under the sink to find a hair dryer. The cabinet below the sink was dirty and moldy. The rest of the bathroom looked dirty, the molding was peeling off the wall, and all around just did not feel clean. The rest of the room was equally as gross. The wall to wall carpeting was disgusting and very dirty. The sofa was covered with a slip cover that was falling off. I refused to sit on that couch. I did my best to avoid poking around too much, but I will say this was the grossest hotel I've ever stayed in. On top of it being dated and dirty, we woke up in the morning to see that it was clear someone had tried entering our room as the sliding lock on the inside of our door had been fully extended (an indication that someone opened the door from the outside) . We're praying it was housekeeping but hard to say! We were up by 9am so still very early for Housekeeping to be making their rounds. I'm typically not a very harsh critic of hotels - as long as they're clean and safe I don't need many frills. I would say that this hotel did not meet those 2 criteria. read more

Clean, large and really nice. Fully equipped kitchen; a second, half bathroom was a surprise bonus that can't be underrated. Location is excellent. If you are looking for a longer short term rental this is your best option. Trust me, I looked everywhere. The one NEGATIVE is the rental agent representing Beekman Towers: Bridgestreet. They never call back by phone and take their time getting back via email. Business must be really good -- or they just don't give a shit. So to them, they get a one star for an otherwise stellar facility that I highly recommend when staying in the city for internships or longer stays. read more

I expected more as it was rated as Wonderful! Maybe my standard is different from others. My husband and I, my sis and her friend stayed there for 3 nights. I would say it's ok because the room was clean which is number one in my checklist. The staff are busy doing their job..so it's ok too. The breakfast area and the food is not ok. The location is ok but I found that the Residence Inn by Marriott is overall a better hotel read more

This is probably by far my favorite hotel in NY for the value, service, location and the size of my room. For first timers to NY, this is not the place to go since it's not exactly near the hustle and bustle of times square, but for people that want a nice, quiet, but safe neighborhood to stay in while avoiding the touristy areas at all costs, I'd totally recommend this place. The neighborhood is wonderful, full of restaurants, bars and boutique stores. My room was very spacious, more like an apartment with housekeeping. It wasn't very fancy, but it was worth it. I look forward to staying here again! read more

The "suites" are old, converted studio apartments, or so they look. The location is decently close to interesting sites if you are visiting NY, but not particularly close. I got a package deal that, in the end, didn't seem like it was worth it after experiencing the accommodations, despite the good price. read more

I paid over $180 a night for this hotel room during off season weekday travel. On my first night, I went to shower and found roaches by the closet door (located next to the bathroom). I called the front desk and they sent someone up within the hour, but they were very nonchalant about the whole process. They came in, swept the bug up, and left. No apologies. No reassurance. Nothing. Next, the air unit was broken in the room, someone came to fix it the following day it was reported. There were no blankets on the bed - just sheets and a dated and torn bed skirt. No bed bugs - I checked thoroughly. Two of three elevators were broken, and no one wanted to take the chances on the third one - so people were slamming stairwell door at all hours of the day and night. There was no screen on the windows in the room, which had to be cracked because as noted, the ac unit was broken. There also was no window/exhaust fan in the bathroom (illegal in Chicago, but this is NYC). I will say the doorman was exceptionally helpful with directions. It wasn't a particularly dirty hotel. It was just poorly maintained, and not worth $180plus a night during off season travel. read more

I stayed here over the Valentines day weekend. 3 Nights total. This was a great hotel! I stayed in one of the suites on the 16th floor which included a kitchen, DR, LR, BR, 2 bathrooms, 2 closets, 2 TV's and under $200 in NYC. I'm impressed. I've seen the reviews about potential varmints roaming about but I saw no evidence of this at all. The room was exceptionally clean. so were the common areas. Yelp shows all of the great dining options nearby. An easy walk to Grand Central or the 6 train. And plenty of cabs. Next to the UN. I would definitley stay here again. read more

Great property for long term stays. The gentlemen at the front desk are all personable and helpful, and the property manager Johnny runs everything smoothly and well. Would definitely recommend! read more

I'm not going to lie and say this is the Ritz, but for the size and price you really can't go wrong. Yes, the furniture and carpet could be swapped out but when you are paying $349 for a 900 sq ft room in Manhattan, how can you really complain? read more

Awful! The most disgusting place I've ever stayed in! The hotel staff has no hospitality training- they are just underpaid doormen masked as concierge and most of the time don't speak English! The building is marketed as a hotel but has zero amenities! The owners are bunch of Russians that are cutting corners everywhere! Breakfast doesn't exist- the doorman brings out 10 mini muffins from a dirty storage room (where they store brooms, mail and coats) and unless u there to get your muffin at 6:30am by 8am there will be nothing left. The coffee machine can hold the most 5 cups of coffee and every few minutes the doorman brings in a pitcher of water to refill the coffee machine from the same dirty storage room-the pitcher is dirty and the water is yellow. The place is generally dirty everywhere, the AC breaks all the time and makes very loud noses, the laundry room is the most dirty place I've ever seen. The hotel has no kitchen/staff, maids will come in every 5 DAYS! I had my heat shutdown for 3 days during the coldest days in February and the staff refused to call in a specialist to fix it because it will cost the building money. read more

Get the light house beer if your into beers. If your into fruity light drinks get the strawberry one.

Some of the rooms are kind of shabby, but what can I say? I kind of love the place. I like checking into my room, then heading down the street to buy breakfast items at the market so that I can make good use of the kitchen. The location is super handy, the staff are super friendly, and it's a bunch of space for your money. The food in the restaurant on top is not good at all, but the view is lovely. I've stayed at this hotel three or four times and always found it a comfortable place to stay. read more

We loved this place! Yes it could use updates--the furniture was dated, the tv was old and not flat screen, the bathroom was small, appliances were dated. There was a kitchenette in our suite with a fridge, stove/oven, microwave and dishwasher and the all looked old but worked just fine. Same with everything else in the room. But who comes to manhattan and spends time in the room? It was clean, spacious and perfectly functional. We had more than enough space for 4 in our queen suite. A view all the way down 1st ave. Ammenities wise--a hair dryer, iron/board, full kitchen. There is a gym on the 2nd floor accessible by room key only 24/7. The staff were amazing! Very friendly and very accommodating. Nothing fancy but does the trick for short money--we will absolutely stay here again. Didn't give five stars because it needs updating and there is no complimentary continental breakfast. read more

The bar in the penthouse is a beautiful place to go on a date for drinks. It's quiet and elegant with panoramic views of the city and beyond.......light music playing in the background- usually jazz for quiet conversations. Even the bathrooms have views !! This place used to be a secret but so many people have had the pleasure of experiencing it and refer it over and over again - a timeless landmark. read more

Ignore the old reviews. The building is under new management and fully renovated. This isn't a hotel but more of a corporate apartment. So far I like it. read more

Amazing apartments with everything you need inside. So much more space for an extended stay. Tastefully decorated with Samsung Tv's and free wireless internet. Very clean and easy access to everything. The fitness center is an added bonus. The front desk staff is the best I have ever encountered. Well done. I will be back for sure. read more

My husband and I checked out of the Beekman this morning...and will not be staying there again. We bid on a 3 star hotel through a well known booking sight and we also will not be doing that again. When staying in NYC, location is important! While accessing popular sites in Manhattan is doable (by way of walking 8 blocks to the subway, or 20 minutes to Times Square at a brisk pace), it is not convenient. Think UN location, 1st and 49th. The hotel is in dire need of updating. The furniture, kitchen and decor were likely beautiful in 1970...but they haven't been updated (or dusted since). Also, obtaining washcloths was almost impossible. None at first, then the same ones left, then one the final night. No ice buckets, no laundry bags, no trash bag liners after our initial check in. We were scared to sit on the couch or touch the floor without shower shoes. Severely in need of dusting, to the point that excess dust was hanging from lamp shades. I don't know what the front desk staff does besides check people in and smile, because they were not helpful and did not communicate requests (like needing 2 washcloths) to housekeeping staff. Bathroom was extremely small. The room was large by NYC standards, but I would gladly trade size for updates and cleanliness. read more

The views from this hotel bar are pretty amazing. However, the bar is SO tiny that you could barely move in that place and it was really hard to get to the bar. It probably fits 50 people.. 75 might be pushing it. They put standing bar tables around the place and I think if they just left it as an open space with tables around the windows it would have been better. read more

First of all DO NOT book with priceline. They advertise "deep discounts" with 'name your own price', but they booked me this hotel at $120/night, when the list price was $127/night. So for a 0.05 discount, you can book your own hotel, choosing exactly which hotel and where. Again, I would highly recommend not to use Priceline. On top, I found out that the rate priceline paid the hotel was $90/night (out of the $120/ night priceline charged me. So doing your own research you might get a deep discount. I indicated in priceline that we were 2 adults. And it booked me a room with one queen bed. Which I think is not acceptable unless you are a couple. I was going with my friend, and wanted thus a king bed or 2 double beds, as I assumed was standard. The hotel indicated me that they could only offer me the room priceline had booked: a room with a queen bed. AWFUL. Getting to the point, once I got to the Beekman Tower Hotel, things did turn around. It was a bit hard for me to find at first, but this was because the façade is being renovated. This hotel is rated 3 stars, but the service is definitely 5 stars! Starting with the friendly staff at the front desk (Yvette and Miguel), to the housekeeping staff, the doorman (Aymen), and the engineering staff. I explained my situation, and at check-in, they looked for an available room to accommodate us better (fix priceline's mess), and they did put us in a room with a queen bed but which also had a pull-out sofa bed, this without any additional charge. The staff does understand and cares about the needs of their guests. Our room was on the 14th floor, and even though the building itself is older, our room was very nice! It was very spacious, it had pretty decorations, it was clean, the furniture seemed relatively new, the bed was absolutely wonderful and comfortable, the pillows were super plush, and the sofa-bed was good. We both slept very comfortably. The shower pressure was alright, it wasn't as strong as others (like to knock you against the wall), but it was good. We had 2 big windows, and a thermostat so we could adjust the temperature we wanted. We had a kitchenette, the appliances were not modern ones, but everything worked and was clean. The staff gave us a lot of information about where to go, and all recommendations were well-founded, we had a nice time in the places they suggested. Also, since we were sleeping late, we always put our do-not-disturb sign, and every evening we found a friendly message from house-keeping saying that we could call them at our convenience to make up our room if we wanted, and also to offer clean towels. This is very thoughtful. We did call in for towels, and they were delivered to our room, and we could have as many as we wanted (which is great because I always need extra towels for my hair). Another shockingly pleasant experience was when we asked for sheets for the sofa-bed. Not only they sent the sheets, but sent someone to come and set the bed for us. A very friendly lady came up and made the sofa-bed very neatly and professionally! Moreover, on our second night, I locked my suitcase but left the keys inside. Thus, I had nothing to wear but the stuff I had on that morning. So that night I asked for help, and someone came to the rescue to cut my lock. The restaurant at the top of the tower has an wonderful view, especially the side looking towards the bridge (food, so-so). At check-out, all was very fast and easy. They even got me a cab. All the staff made our stay really great. I would recommend this hotel! read more

The hotel is under reconstruction and there are jack hammers on the outside of the building all day from morning until night. We had to wear earplugs to stay in the room. The hotel will not tell you about the reconstruction, and they won't refund your money. The sound is deafening and it never stops. There is construction dust leaking thru the windows too. The entire outside of the building is being torn off and rebuilt. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DUMP. read more

"PLEASE READ THIS. You must make your own conclusions... I sent this email to the General Manager of The Beekman Tower Hotel: Dear Mr. Briskin, My name is (xxxx). I stayed at the BEEKMAN TOWER HOTEL from Wednesday Mar 28th to Sunday Apr 1st. in room 13-D. It was a business trip for two days and the rest as pleasure with my family to spend the weekend in NYC. The hotel is spectacular, the room was perfect for me and my family, the location of the hotel was ideal, in other words, it was a wonderful experience at your hotel. The only bad situation was my last day at the hotel. I left my watch in the morning of Sunday April 1st like I have mentioned to you before, in room 13-D, on top of the window of the same room because my watch need solar energy to be charged (it is an eco drive watch), that is my only reason why I put it there. The window was close because it was freezing outside and I my son is asthmatic. We did the check out around 11AM and we left our luggage with the concierge because our plane was schedule to depart at 6:10PM. Once I left the hotel, about 15 minutes later, my husband called the hotel and advice that we left the watch on top of the window of the room we were staying (13-D), he was transferred to the house keeping department and he gave again all the information about the watch. He asked to put the watch with our other stuff in order to pick up everything when we get back to the hotel. When we got back at the hotel, nobody knew about the watch, nobody found the watch. We started to explain the situation with the person in charge at the front desk and with another manager who was called at that moment and who started to have a doubt about our claim. He told us that he was not there at the room, so he could not know exactly what happened with the watch. They send me back to the room with the concierge to look for it myself. The room was still vacant and we could not find the watch. At that moment I need it to leave to the airport otherwise I was going to loose my plain, so they only took my contact information and they finally told me that if they find the watch they will call me. I called this Monday to see if someone found the watch, I spoke with Jampa (I think that's the name), and she recommended to speak with the house keeping director. I called again this morning and I spoke with Heather, the Director of House Keeping Dept. All the time everybody tells me that the staff at the hotel is trained to return the guest objects, so all the time they are giving me the impression that either I am a layer or that I had my watch in my luggage at the time we left the hotel, I even took everything that it was in my luggage to please them but the watch was not there. I am complete it sure where I left my watch and it was on top on the window. This lady (Heather) questioned today why I put my watch at the window, which I found that ridicules question, that's not the point! The point is that my watch still is missing and nobody seems to have an answer for me, or at least to give me a solution. It is a 600 dollars watch, and I know where I exactly put it, definitely someone took it, and I truly believe that it was either the house keeper or the person who answered the phone call to report the lost. I really do not understand how this can happen in your hotel which is a four star. How can nobody help me with my situation and the worse thing is that the personnel and the management is having a doubt, and how can the staff is not paying attention to my claim. The company where I work for is a huge company, we have an office at White Plains and we always have people travelling to NY. I am not the first person from the company that stays at your hotel. Your hotels have great reputation with our travel agency and with our company employees. I am begging you to do something about this incident and to have some kind of answer to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your help in advance and support to this matter. Sincerely Yours, XXXXX This was the answer from the General Manager Mr. Mark Briskin Ms. XXXX: Regrettably, efforts undertaken to investigate and/or locate your watch within the hotel were not successful nor was evidence discovered showing a cause for the loss. I realize that you are far more interested in recovery than details; however, we spoke with those attached to the post-departure cleaning of your last suite and I spoke to the managers you and your family interactive with. In addition, I personally reviewed the watches that we do have in our lost & found but none match the description you previously provided. I will keep your information on file should you care to process a home-owner's insurance claim to offer assistance accordingly. Should you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Regards, M A Briskin read more
