This hotel is old, worn but very charming! I booked two rooms one for my 75 year old Mother and one for myself. Unfortunately my Mothers room had no heat and it happened to be the coldest weekend this winter. I complained late in the evening and was assured the heat would be fixed. The next morning she told me... More

Thanks to TripAdvisor reviews, we had a good idea of what we were getting into at thos hotel. This was my first trip to NYC, my husband's 2nd. We wanted to be near Times Square, but found the prices of most hotels out of our budget. We stayed 4 nights, arriving on a Thursday and leaving on a Monday. Our... More

We stayed just for one night and the good things are that it has an excellent location, and price is a real deal. Room was clean, with LCD TV, nice bathroom with hairdryer, etc. The not so good things were that the air conditioning didn't work well enough; bath shower cabin got clogged and that part of the staff aren't...

I've stayed in the hotel for five days. I arrived at 10 am and my room was ready and waiting for me, which was very nice after a long trip. Location is the main asset of this place. My room was tiny but had everything I could need, and everything was clean and tidy. The main drawback was the noise... More

Yes, I was a bit reluctant to try this place since I read the negative reviews but decided to live on the edge and try it out anyways....especially since my other choice sold out and ALL hotels have their fair share of negative reviews. Overall, I am glad we stayed here. For off broadway shows, this was VERY close to... More

We checked out of the Doubletree Metropolitan and into the Mayfair for our last night in New York. So glad we did! The price was excellent for a small room with queen sized bed and ensuite bathroom. I loved the wood paneled walls, the creaky old elevator, and the sweet coordinated wallpaper. The location was right in the center of... More

We read some great reviews and some truly awful reviews about this hotel but tried it anyway. To the awful reviews my response is "get real": a quirky, characterful hotel with comfortable beds, no traffic noise in the middle of Manhattan, 5 minutes from Times Square at that rate and people complain about the rooms being small? What do they... More

This was my third trip to the Mayfair, but my first since the remodel. We booked a queen bed and it was glorious! Stayed in 3 other hotels on this trip, and this bed was the best AND the least expensive. Fab location great service will B back! More

Stayed here recently for a premiere with my teen daughter. From the minute we entered, staff made us feel right at home. They gave us directions, hailed cabs for us and stored our luggage for a couple of bucks. The rooms are tiny, but cute and cozy. Nothing beats the location -- close to everything, but still quiet, We will... More
