L'hotel è vecchio e mal tenuto , nella nostra camera si sono anche rotte le tubature ....la pulizia è scadente ma probabilmnete l'usura di mobili e moquette non aiuta! , Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile e anche se la pulizia non è impeccabile anche altrove ( abbiamo cambiato 4 hotel in 4 zone diverse di Manhattan) per me il prezzo è decisamente eccessivo per quello che offre la struttura , inoltre la hall era chiusa ( sicuramente per via delle disposizioni anticovid ) diversamente da tutti gli altri hotel

Great Location and Comfortable

This hotel was in a perfect location for us. A few blocks from Grand Central Station, a Walgreens right across the street, a Starbucks two doors down and a couple of good restaurants just down the street. This has been a hotel since 1929 so it is old, but for the price, it is well worth it. The rooms are old and dated, but mine was clean and the beds were comfortable. 15 minute walk to Rockefeller Center and a 20 minute walk to time square. The room had a microwave and refrigerator, but they did not have ice or ice buckets I did not hear any noise from the other rooms. The staff was extremely friendly and I would stay here with my family anytime.

This hotel was absurdly false advertised. Don’t believe the pictures you see on here. We checked in and the hotel seemed just old and crusty but figured it would just have character. Nope. Walked into the room, crusty stains on the floor. Bathroom tiles coming off the walls, wallpaper peeling everywhere and mold on the walls. A rusty pipe was sticking out of the bathroom with the other half of it leaning up against the wall. Stains on the couches and sheets. Bugs on the floor because the window was left open.

Great location, super friendly staff, low cost…..but the hotel is dated and needs a lot of work. Wallpaper tearing off wall, patched up carpeting, no valet parking as mentioned(you get small discount on nearby parking), no bar open, no washcloths on room, you don’t control heat so very hot in rooms

Nice place, but its a little worn. There was a lip between the bathroom and the living area which was quite annoying. My grand daughter tripped on it and hurt her knee. I also tripped on the lip, but in a different room. Staff was friendly, but the place really shows a lot of wear and tear.

It’s a serviceable hotel, but lacks amenities. Could use a facelift, heat was overbearing in our room so we had to run the AC when it was 40 degrees outside. Staff was very friendly. Easy access to Rockefeller, grand central, Broadway, amd Times Square. Positive is it’s just outside the main congestion so getting a Starbucks or Dunkin (both right there) super easy.

All The Basics Were Good

Our room was quite large to accommodate the 2 beds we reserved for. All the basics were good: comfortable mattresses, noise free, excellent service from front desk and bellhop. Two little nitpicks: housekeeping forgot to leave wash cloths, and there was no clock in the room. We would definitely come back.

The Roger Smith hotel is in the best area in the City but the hotel needs a thorough face lift. The website shows beautiful rooms but they are not what you'll see once you're there. The property is very old and has a strong musty smell, the carpets needs to be changed. One of the 2 rooms we rented had no pictures on the wall but the hooks were still there. The wall paper is coming apart..there's so much more but the staff is awesome and the location is perfect. I would honestly stay here again if it gets a face lift, lol.
