Top American Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is great, the rooms were impeccably clean, and having a French bakery in the building for breakfast each day was lovely. My room was utilitarian. The bed was a bit hard, and the walls/doors are paper thin. Lying in bed one morning I heard an alarm going off in a room down the hall. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper."

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient, making it a great choice for a short stay. Although the hotel is huge, the rooms are quite small. One nice benefit is that they allow you to store your luggage after checkout if needed. Overall, a pleasant and convenient place to stay for a few days."

The Lucerne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was wonderful and spacious, with an abundance of windows. Every member of the staff was gracious and eager to help with whatever we needed."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"We liked the location. It was just far enough off Time Sq to be a bit calmer. We were very disappointed in check in. We arrived around 9:30 am. We could not get into our room until after 5pm. Our daughter arrived around 5:30pm. Her room, which we had requested close to our room, was not even ready then and she had to stay on a different floor. Daily room service was excellent."

Lotte New York Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are very nice-sized and clean but the furnishings are sparse and bathrooms are tiny. Staff is lovely."

Park Lane New York

8/10 Good

"we loved our view of central park for sure. that was worth it alone. however they never gave us face cloths & never replenished our water in the room which after 30k steps a day, water would’ve been good. also never seemed to never have more than 1 or 2 elevators going or maybe it was just that busy. the cocktail bar was closed for lunch & evenings which was unfortunate if you wanted a quick drink before going to dinner."

Park Central Hotel New York

8/10 Good

"Park Central will never have a problem filling rooms. With their location, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. A short walk from Times Square, on the same block as the yellow line subway, and in an are that feels pretty safe overall. All great reasons to stay there. Also all great reasons why they don’t appear to be putting as much money back into the property as they do into their pockets. Even a full time maintenance guy that walked around addressing little cosmetic fixes in the rooms would stay busy 24 hours a day. Paint and wallpaper peeling, blinds are dirty and frayed from overuse in the rooms. Mirrors are peeling, there are chips in the baseboards. The carpets are old, dirty and have several runs in them. The hotel is run down. For the price you will be disappointed in your actual room. For the location you will suck it up as a good value. Staff is very nice, approachable, and helpful. The elevators, as others note, are always overcrowded and painfully slow. And I’m told they were just updated, which is crazy. I had a routine where I gave up waiting to ride down in the elevator and just took the stairs, but would wait in the lobby for the ride up, because walking UP stairs is just not as quick and easy as walking down them. It’s a bummer I decided to habitually walk down them at all. So… yeah. I’d stay there again and just consider it the cost of a NYC visit. I’d tell others to stay there, but I won’t brag about the room."

Arthouse Hotel New York City

10/10 Excellent

"The Arthouse' excellent location, clean updated rooms and helpful, friendly staff made the stay very enjoyable."

The Manhattan Club

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, close to all! Comfy bed!"
