NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"Great location. Great room service. Room is NY size, which is ok. Room always clean. Rooms have no mini fridge. 24/7 dinner selling point is the 24/7 aspect. Eat there if you don't care about food or have to eat late."

Arlo Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying here! Our first visit was just my husband and me for a convention, and this time we came back with our kids for Labor Day weekend. Once again, we had such a wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, especially with our 4-year-old. They truly went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. What made our experience even more special was that we accidentally left our son's bicycle behind, and they kindly kept it safe for almost three weeks until we could retrieve it! That level of care and thoughtfulness really says a lot about their hospitality. We’re so grateful for their kindness and for making both of our stays so memorable. It's the little things that make a big difference, and we will definitely be back! ❤️"

Lotte New York Palace

10/10 Excellent

"I wouldn't stay anywhere else in New York! The location is perfect since I can easily walk to the theater, but don't have to stay in Times Square. (Love the theater; don't love navigating Times Square.) On this trip, special shoutout to Stacy, who greeted me and my daughter so cordially when we arrived late Sunday evening (Oct. 11th) and then the next day helped us with a logistical problem. Can't wait to visit again."
