Best 4 Star Hotels in Midtown

"Stayed at the New Yorker Hotel and it was honestly not worth the price. The hallways are outdated and the “city view” room we were given was basically a corner wall with barely any view of MSG. You’re mainly paying for the location in the heart of NYC. What really ruined the experience was how we were treated regarding their smoking policy. I asked a worker if there was any balcony or smoking area available and was told no, to just smoke outside. Cool, no problem. The next morning at 9AM security knocked on our door claiming they smelled marijuana. We told them they had the wrong room. The security guard even explained that if someone was actually smoking in a room, their desk would get notified by the smoke detector system. He made it sound like they were generally searching for who was smoking — not that our room specifically triggered anything. Then the very next day we received a letter saying we were being charged a smoking fee anyway. I even tested the so-called “smoke detector” afterward and it clearly was not functioning, which makes the whole situation feel questionable and discriminatory. Overall, definitely not worth what they charge. Location is the only real positive."

"Underwhelmed! Smallest room I’ve ever stayed in and feels dodgy AF"
