Breakfast at the Crown

Chose this hotel as a Hyatt member as I wanted a bit of a nicer hotel for our NYC stay. We had a bit of a mixed experience here... First off I will start by saying that the hotel staff was amazing throughout the entirety of our stay. They were very helpful and handled us with grace because of the problems that we ran into. Now onto the problems. We were given a room on the 20th floor to start off, which was great for our first four nights. But the fifth night fell on a Friday, and apparently their rooftop bar (which is run by a third party) plays loud music until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. I get it, it's New York City, we didn't even try to go to bed until after midnight. But it's a bit incomprehensible to me that a HOTEL would allow any kind of loud music/noise that late into the night much less 2 or 3 AM. The music was so loud that our room was vibrating and you could hear footsteps of dancing people above our bathroom. We ended up switching rooms in the middle of the night. To the staff's credit, they seemed to do everything they could to remediate the issue and tell the bar to turn the volume down to no avail. They also did issue us a refund and upgrade for the inconvenience, but the loss of a full nights sleep is pretty rough. Other than that the hotel was great. It is conveniently located within 10 mins walk of the Canal St and Grand St Subway station, and within steps of amazing Chinatown food. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated, with great views of Manhattan. Breakfast at the rooftop bar is great, and there is a free coffee bar up there too. This could have been a great stay if it weren't for that night, I hope the hotel or Hyatt implements changes to the rooftop bar in the future for more reasonable hours and more control of the music. I don't think any paying hotel guest should have to deal with what we did. Also it's something to note if you are staying at a high floor on a Friday or Saturday, you may run into the same issues we did unfortunately.

Just finished a quick stay at the Hotel 59 Bowery and here are some of my thoughts. 1 - Location: in the heart of Chinatown, right at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge. It's perfectly situated to access uptown, downtown, Brooklyn and Jersey City. Plus, if you want to explore Chinatown, but still be within walking distance to SoHo or the village, this is wheee you want to be. 2 - Vibe: urban industrial chic, the space exudes loft living with industrial elements like exposed brick, concrete and hard wood floors. There are numerous design elements that really sets this place apart from your normal cookie cutter hotels. 3 - Service: friendly and attentive, they really demonstrated why the Hyatt brand is and will always be appealing to the loyalist masses. Friendly service along with loyalty recognition. 4 - Rooms: they were not large, but in line with what one would expect from rooms in New York City. The one knock I will give them is some of the door sound proofing can be thickened as you can hear your neighbors entering and existing. Also, while I appreciated the city view upgrade, the window was smaller than expected. 5 - Elevator: it was a little bumpy and the fact that only one set of elevators can access the gym made access a little difficult since the elevators generally doesn't cooperate when needed. Overall, with the exception of a few eccentricities of the building, I would definitely stay here again. The view from the roof is unbeatable and the location is just so convenient.

We had a great experience staying at Hotel 50 for the remainder of our NY trip. It is in a super convenient location right in Chinatown and within walking distance to lots of popular food shops. The staff has been very attentive and would send texts to check in on us throughout our stay to see if there were any issues. They held our luggage for us until our room was ready. We stayed on the 15th floor and had a view of the city and Chinatown. They provided us complimentary water and even a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. There is complimentary coffee, tea, and a water refill station on the second floor. They have lots of lawn games to play and seating if you want to just chill. They have a nice rooftop bar/restaurant with great views as well. In our room, it can get a little noisy as the hotel is located in a busy area. Even after midnight, you can still hear cars honking outside but it didn't affect us too much. Definitely recommend staying here if you want to be around the Chinatown area!

Hotel 50 Bowery was a great stay. Front desk staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Extra pillows and towels were sent quickly upon request. Elevators were slow, as one was out of service. The location is perfect. The room was very clean, which I was thrilled about. It had enough space for two people. I loved the shower. Makeup mirror was the appropriate height to do makeup and the lighting wasn't bad. Bed was comfy. Some wall hooks near the entryway would've been appreciated though. We had a great view. I was not thrilled about the HVAC, which vibrated/rattled loudly. I would've asked for a different room, but by the time I realized, I was already unpacked and showered. The thermostat doesn't go below 65, so I could never stay here in warm weather, but I'd happily return during other times.

Tea and coffee in the morning

I had a great day at hotel 50 Bowery in New York. I arrived late from California around 10 PM and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming. Ricky at the front desk was especially helpful and made the check-in experience smooth after a long travel day. He gave me a beautiful room with a great view of the Manhattan Bridge, which was a nice surprise. Ricky also recommended a small noodle shop about three minutes away from the hotel, which was perfect for a late dinner. The hotel is located right by Chinatown, which is a truly a foodie Haven with so many great spots within walking distance. In the morning, the hotel offered complementary tea and coffee, which was a nice touch before heading out for the day. My room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure always appreciate after a long flight. Another thing I really appreciate was a helpful tip from Kim at the front desk. I was about to order an Uber to JFK, which was showing around $120 but he let me know that New York taxis have a flat rate of $75 to JFK. That tip alone save me quite a bit! My ride took about 1 1/2 hours leaving around 2 PM. Overall, the service, Location, and the comfort made this a wonderful state. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to New York.

I stayed at Hotel 50 Bowery for one night and really wish I had chosen somewhere else. When I checked in, I was actually excited. They gave me a complimentary upgrade to a nicer room, which felt like a great start. But that feeling disappeared pretty quickly once I saw the bathroom. There was a lot of hair in the shower, like it hadn't been cleaned at all. Then, while I was showering, a bug crawled onto my shoulder. I immediately called the front desk and asked if someone could come check the room for bed bugs or anything else. The hotel manager told me it's "common" for bugs to come up through the shower drain... I've honestly never heard that before? I asked to switch rooms, the whole situation made me feel really uncomfortable and unclean. I checked out the next morning and still paid full price for the night. The manager apologized for the "inconvenience," but that was it. For a hotel at this price point, I expected way more. Wouldn't stay here again or recommend it to anyone. Cleanliness and customer service just weren't a priority.

This was a cute little hotel located in Chinatown with easy walking access to the financial district. I love that the subway was several blocks away, so easy to get around and venture uptown or into the Bronx or Brooklyn. there are also several awesome spots to grab a quick bite in Chinatown there are within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel was clean and really cute and chic. it's New York, the hotels in general are pretty small, but it wasn't loud or didn't hear anyone at all hours of the night. I'd love that they had a little courtyard with games for folks who want to play. There's also a rooftop bar that turns into a club on some nights, but even with that I didn't hear a lot of noise. Staff was very nice and gracious and attentive and I love that there was security as you enter and you had to use your room key to access the floors. Overall, great spot to stay at if you're in town for a quick trip or have business down in the financial district .

Had a great experience staying at Hotel 50 Bowery. The front desk and all staff was great, Kim, Andre, James, the morning and nightime luggage gentleman all showed us great hospitality. Would definetly recommend this place just from the experience with them. They were clear with charges, and very helpful on our accomodations for holding our bags before and after checking in & checking out, cabs, hot water, etc. We had no issues there! The view was awesome. Definetly try to get a room with a view and it was so quiet once in the room. We heard no outside noise. We wish they had the coffee and amenities stocked 24/7, but there's some periods where they do not have them. The room was just fine, yes, it could have used a little more storage or shelving, along with a thicker or more sound proof door (no we didnt hear much but yes you could hear through the door easily) but we made do since it was clean, tidy and simple. These issues we didnt mind as they were a small worry for the overall pleasant stay. We hope to be back soon! Thank you Hotel 50.

Clean Bathroom. However, there were few scratch markings on some of the tiles and mirror.

Hotel 5o Bowery is an upscale boutique hotel with a great view of the city at an affordable price. It's located in the heart of downtown NYC. They have plenty of amenities such as free WiFi, Fitness room, Breakfast drinks, laundry, concierge and pet friendly. The hotel room has Sealy brand beds, 43" flat-screen TV In-room safe, plush robe, art wall, rainfall shower, hair dryer, wooden hangers, and mirrors. Moreover, we were disappointed to see that some bathroom tiles and mirror have scratch marks. The bedroom size was roughly 260 sq ft. The best part of the room was it has the view of the city. Staff were cordial, competent and professional. Check-In and check-out was a breeze. As for the price it's one of the best and affordable hotels in the city. Also, keep in mind that a mandator $35 destination fee/day will be added to your hotel bill. Overall, it's a good hotel with modest amenities.

Clean hotel with wonderful service. Convenient location in Chinatown, walking distance to the Manhattan Bridge, Little Italy, and lower manhattan. Our room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the manhattan bridge. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the water pressure in the bathroom of our hotel room was terrible. The pillows were uncomfortable as well but overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend to others. Nice rooftop bar also with views of the city.

Level 2 with free coffee, hot chocolate, etc
Hillari S.

We stayed here for seven nights 12/18-12/24/24. The good: in the middle of a lot going on, including some great dimsum restaurants. The staff is very nice, hotel is clean, moody, and comfortable with larger than normal rooms for NYC. The subway stations are about a 5 minute walk, so very convenient to go anywhere you wish. The daily access to complimentary newspapers, hot chocolate, coffee, etc was WONDERFUL because we always sleep past breakfast. The water is given freely, when you ask, and you can refill it yourself (NYC tap water is great). The decor is great: love the white sheets, the wall art, and the stone in the shower. The closet was nice, but needs drawers. Toilet worked well, water pressure was fine in our shower, bed comfortable, mini fridge is empty so you can fill it with your leftovers and use the microwave on the 2nd floor at any hour - all great! We are Hyatt Explorist level, but were gifted a GOH certificate for our stay, giving us zero destination fees (saved us about $250 total), free daily breakfast (2 options: delivery from the restaurant next door or a continental buffet), free parking (we didn't need), and a suite upgrade, if available. The bad: I inquired about the suite upgrade and requested a city view via email before checking in and they proactively said there were no suites to put us in, but they "upgraded us" to a Manhattan Bridge View. I reminded them we did not want a view of the bridge, but we preferred a view of the city. I checked and there was that upgrade available, which would have cost ~$30/nt more. It was a bit frustrating they didn't offer that to us after my first email and that I had to figure out if it was available (by trying to make a second reservation online) and then had to ask for it again. If we are on a Globalist level (via the award), why make us jump through extra hoops? That put a bad taste in my mouth before we arrived. When we checked in on the 18th, the front desk person gave us a room on the 17th floor with a city view, but the room smelled very strongly of smoke and mildew, so we immediately returned to get a new room we could breath in. She said they had one "with an even better view" on the 9th floor...Room 926. She thought this was better because it is a straight on view versus the room on the 17th floor, which was smaller and kind of cramped into a corner (see pics). Again, why try to give us a less desirable room when you are supposed to be treating us like a Globalist? Strange business practice. We stayed in Room 926. There are so many opportunities to take this from a 4 star room to a 5 star room... There is literally nowhere to put your stuff. There is ONE small drawer above the minifridge that fit my underwear, socks, and bras. My husband had to keep everything in his suitcase. Each nightstand has the smallest two drawers I have ever seen in my life... I fit some cords, my daily pills and cough drops in them (no clothes would fit at all). There is ONE hook in the bathroom, but there are two of us, so one person has to have their towel stay wet under the other...why not add another hook for $3?!? The bathroom vanity has zero drawers or storage space for your stuff. So frustrating as a girl. Why not add a shelf or two so two people can have their toiletries accessible? A week living out of my toiletry bag wasn't ideal. Same for in the shower... the "shelf" barely fits the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles they provide, but zero room for anything you bring...why not add another shelf or two so we don't have to put our stuff on the floor where strangers dirty feet were?? I chose to take my stuff in and out of the shower stall because I refuse to put my stuff on the gross floor. There was a lot of black mold on the stone walls, so I'm sure there was a lot more on the ground. They need to do better at scrubbing the tiles so there is no mold. Big TV, but very strange it is not a smart TV so you can't log into your own Netflix or anything. The lighting is really bad for trying to do makeup. The mirror that is near the windows is a decorative mirror, not a functional one. The mirror that is functional is too far away from a light source to see well enough to do makeup. The bathroom mirror somewhat works, but still not ideal. Swap out the decorative mirror with a functional one near the windows and there would be no issue. Overall, the stay was good for a weekend. It was not functional or comfy enough for a seven night stay in winter where you have a lot of clothes to fit. Overall,

Rain shower!! Grout ain't clean

The concierge ways always there to help us with any questions or requests we had. We loved the picnic blanket they found us for the park. They also gave us a few food recommendations.

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

It was a little hard to find at first because of nearby construction, but once I arrived, everything felt convenient and easy to access. The staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful during check-in. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and my room was not ready yet, but once it was available, staff members were helping guests check in using the computers. The hotel has a very modern, tech-forward feel. The room included an iPad that controlled the lights, colors, and other settings, which gave the space a futuristic vibe. The room itself was very clean and felt pretty spacious for a New York hotel. The sheets and bathroom were clean, and I felt like I had everything I needed for a short stay. I also felt like it was a good value. I used about 58,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for the night, and New York hotels can easily run anywhere from about $200 to $500 per night depending on the date. Since I stayed on a weekday, that may have helped with the overall value. The next day, relocating to my other hotel was simple because the area was so central. As a Gold member, I also received late checkout, although I ended up leaving earlier than I needed to. The only thing that stood out was hearing another guest complain about the staff, which surprised me because my own experience had been very positive.

Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel was...fine. I survived my one night…read more The hotel has a bit of a strange layout after its renovations (which may or may not be finished). You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete. Other than those complaints, everything else in the room was perfectly acceptable, and for a one night stay, it did the job.

Midtown East, Murray Hill

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!

This is a bustling hotel with a large lobby. I visited for a conference. The hotel has a couple of…read moreexits, but the main entrance is on 6th avenue. 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.
